I AM A DRUNKARD. You may believe it or not, but I am a drunkard. You can
look into my eyes and you can see it — I. am drunk with Jesus. And Jesus is a
wine; he is not a man, he’s an intoxication. And once you have tasted of him,
then nothing of this world will ever be meaningful to you. Once the meaning
from the beyond enters into your life, this whole world becomes futile,
immaterial, insignificant.
Religion is a sort of intoxication. This has to be understood because without a
deep intoxication, your life will never have any meaning. It will remain
superficial prose and will never become a poem. You will walk but you will
never be able to dance, and unless you dance you have missed. Unless you dance
with such abundance, with such forgetfulness that you disappear in it, that the
dancer is lost and only the dance remains… only then. And only then will you be
able to know what life is.
I remember: Once Alexander the Great asked Diogenes, “You are so learned, you
know so much. Can’t you tell me something about God, what God is?”
Diogenes waited for a moment and then said, “Give me one day’s time.”
Alexander came the next day but again Diogenes said, “Give me two days’ time.”
And it happened again, and he said, “Give me three days’ time,” and then four
days and then five days, and then six days and the whole week was gone.
Alexander was annoyed and said, “What do you mean? If you don’t know the
answer you should have told me before. If you know, then what is the
explanation for the delay?”
