What is the message behind the concept of revelry?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Revelry is the dance of ecstasy and awareness, where the soul sips its own wine, overflowing with divine celebration illuminated by consciousness."
According to Osho, revelry is inner intoxication: ecstasy fused with alert awareness. Dance and sway, but remain watchful; drink, yet sip the soul’s own wine, not outer alcohol. When rapture and remembrance unite—Buddha’s right mindfulness, Kabir’s surati—the cup overflows without stupor. This divine khumari is God as cupbearer and religiosity as wine: celebration illuminated by consciousness.
Real celebration feels joy like a gentle buzz, but you stay awake inside while you enjoy it.
