Why & How Shiva Is Always Intoxicated
Sadhguru tells the story of the Somasundara form of Shiva, and how Shiva is always inebriated but fully alert.
Intoxication is an essential quality of meditativeness. If you are not drunk, how can you just sit? It’ll be torturous. Intoxicated but fully alert, that’s Shiva’s quality. He carried the moon. The symbolism is he’s always drunk upon himself, no substances.
