You can drink alcohol
.
“Consumption of alcohol is injurious to health” is a statutory
warning mentioned even on the bottles of alcohol that we buy. I am in agreement
with this line, for obvious reasons: alcohol is known to damage our body in
numerous ways. However, the reality is different: despite the warnings, people
are known to love and enjoy liquor due to reasons both apparent and imaginary.
Over the years, a number of saints, Babas and Gurus have advocated
against drinking alcohol but have had little impact. It is not uncommon to see
long queues outside liquor shops, queues that rival the ones outside a temple or
other religious institutions. Given the levels of stress and the pace at which
we live, we often turn to alcohol for simple joys of life.
Osho, the renowned spiritual guru, said “The modern mind is in much
hurry. It wants instant methods for stopping the mind. Hence drugs and alcohols
have appeal Mm ……..you can force the mind to stop by using chemicals, drugs but
again you are being violent with the mechanism. It is not good. It is
destructive. In this way you are not going to become a master. You may be able
to stop the mind through the drugs but then drugs /alcohols will become your
master……… you are not going to become the master .You have simply changed your
bosses and you have changed for the worse. Now the drugs will hold power over
you, they will possess you, without them you will be nowhere.
The process of quitting alcohol is not an overnight process: it is
a process which takes over a period of time. The length of this period may vary:
for some, it ends with their last breath. When you become accustomed to alcohol,
the question of quitting it remains an insignificant thought at the back of the
head instead of being the elephant in the room. But while you may or may not
think about quitting alcohol, it is always better to learn how to detoxify
accordingly.
