A long time illness never recedes
One early morning, one gets the feel of what is known as "Sraddhai"
and sits lightly to investigate thoughts provoked by the Almighty,
finally settling down to a peaceful life(Buddha!)...

how do you relate-mad, mental, and mandel-

This is a fun
word puzzle! Here's how I relate "mad," "mental," and "mandel":

*   **Mad** and **Mental** are directly related through **synonymy**.
In certain contexts, particularly when describing someone's state of
mind, "mad" can be used as a synonym for "mentally unwell" or
"insane."

*   **Mental** and **Mandel** are related through **wordplay** and
**association**. "Mandel" most likely refers to Benoit Mandelbrot, a
famous mathematician. He is primarily known as the "father of
fractals" and his main contribution was the Mandelbrot set.

*   A fractal set is a visual representation of an abstract mental
concept or formula, which means that Mandel and "mental" are further
linked in the way that one can use Mandelbrot's discovery as a mental
image.

*   If one is to get very confused about fractals, then one could also
be described as going mad.

    

Therefore, the chain of association is: **Mad** relates to **Mental**
through synonymy, and **Mental** is related to **Mandel** through the
context of mathematical concepts, visual representation, and mental
imagery.
