definition
"The question of intoxicants is not about the substance itself, but about the consciousness and intention behind your inquiry."
According to Osho, the real issue isn’t alcohol but the consciousness and intention behind the question—are you seeking information or offering an experience? He replies playfully that his response depends on your intent, signaling fluidity over fixed stances and prioritizing awareness over rigid, moralistic yes-or-no answers.
He says it depends on whether you’re just asking or inviting—what matters is your intention, not the drink.
Why this matters practically
- Check your intention before asking or acting.
