BIBLE VERSES

DRUNKARD ON WINE OR SOMA-JUICE

A symbol of the spiritual nature which "intoxicates " or paralyses the lower self through an influx of the Divine life.

"In the Rig-Veda, Indra is the highest and greatest of the Gods, and his Soma-drinking is allegorical of his highly spiritual nature. In the Puranas, Indra becomes a profligate, and a regular drunkard on the Soma-juice." - H. P. BLAVATSKY, Secret Doctrine, Vol. II. p. 295.

"I drank and was inebriated with the living water that does not die; and my inebriation was not without knowledge." - Ode of Solomon.
