Core Insight:
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.
It’s like feeling a never-ending, wakeful happiness that’s so strong others can feel it too.
Why this matters practically
- Guides you from temporary escapes to lasting inner fulfillment.
- Encourages practices (meditation, presence) that stabilize real joy.
- Reminds you that company and presence shape your state—choose and share wisely.
