According to Osho, he does use intoxication—but of a subtle, transforming kind. Gross substances like alcohol touch only the body; they cannot reach the innermost being. The true wine is music, silence, meditation, and the mystical soma that arises in the presence of an awakened master. Such nectar requires a prepared vessel—a disciple’s receptivity—so he pours it where readiness and the heart’s lineage make deeper transmission possible.
Real understanding comes from quietness, music, and meditation with a wise teacher—not from drinking or drugs.
