definition
"To be drunk in consciousness is to be in a state of permanent ecstasy, where pure awareness becomes the ultimate intoxication that transforms not just yourself, but everyone around you."
According to Osho, to be drunk in consciousness is to be permanently intoxicated by the 'ultimate drug' of religion—pure awareness—an irreversible, ever-high state from which you never come down. Unlike chemical highs, this inner ecstasy is self-sustaining, transformative, and contagious; the presence of such a person can inebriate others, drawing them toward the same point-of-no-return awakening.
