Chassid or not?

Was Mordechai a Chassid? People generally recognize that there is more to things than what I can understand. That there is higher than understanding in general. Yet who finds virtue in completely leaving reasoning? What purpose is there in going completely crazy?
A chassid does. He lives to leave all constrictions of the world and our minds. Regularly he can't go there or there would be only chaos. But once in a while he'll drop everything to do just that.
Mordechai must have been a Chassid, would a misnagid say to get so drunk until your out of your mind?

On Purim 5714 the rebbe said this same point.
