The lifestile of Milarepa:

Milarepa was searching for how to attain one’s fullest enlightenment in this life:

1400. Theravāda Buddhist monk Ajahn Amaro: «In the Buddhist tradition you are not completely sane until you are fully enlightened» – Tibets most famous poet Milarepa (950 -1052) received the whole teaching as how to attain one’s fullest enlighenment in one lifetime from a Guru who lived in India

And he found it in his cave:

“The stunning lesson in impermanence gave Milarepa the final push he needed to follow Marpa’s command to meditate in mountain retreat. He stayed there for many years, until his clothes turned to rags, his bones protruded, and the nettles he ate turned his skin green. Hunters and thieves who came upon him thought he was a ghost. When he went begging for food, his uncle, aunt, and neighbors attacked him, and he barely escaped. His sister, who had also become a beggar, wept in misery at his apparently even sorrier state.”

But Milarepa became the most famous poet of Tibet & the founder of the Kagyü school of Tibetan Buddhism. And if you are not completely sane talk also to your psychotherapist about it.
