What should I do to maintain consciousness while experiencing intoxication?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"To remain conscious in intoxication, surrender completely to the flow of love and let go of the need to control; in that surrender, a childlike awareness will awaken beyond the confines of the mind."
According to Osho, to stay conscious while intoxicated, paradoxically you must drop the urge to “stay” anything; intoxication is losing mind, control and ego, and flowing with the greater current. Trust the gale of love or prayer; stop swimming against it. Let go so totally that fear dissolves; in surrender, a truer, childlike awareness dawns beyond the mind’s arithmetic.
Stop trying to control; float with the feeling, and a natural childlike awareness appears on its own.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces fear and anxiety by shifting from control to trust.
- Loosens egoic habits so love and devotion can deepen.
- Rekindles innocence and wonder, making life feel fresh and meaningful.
