Seeing things in manas/buddhi caksu mode, as opposite to sastra caksu.

"Mental" as an adjective slang term, meaning "stupid" or "crazy", likely derived from misuse of the terms "mentally retarded" or "mental illness"

Its slang that is adapted by devotees so it JUST seems like a good idea.

Its an offence to use on devotees IMHO
