Was Chaitanya's singing and dancing merely a form of intoxication?

Through total motion, one can reach the unmoving center, for both stillness and ecstatic movement lead to the same timeless silence within.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
If you dance and sing with your whole heart, the outside spins so fast that a quiet, peaceful center inside shows up—just like when you sit very still.
Why this matters practically
- Validates movement as meditation: use wholehearted dance/singing to touch inner silence.
- Avoids stale ritual: freshness and totality matter more than old forms or labels.
- Honors different temperaments: both stillness and full motion can reach the same truth.
