For the one who sits and drinks inside the tavern, the intoxication of ecstasy and the surrounding atmosphere are entirely different.
This couplet captures the sheer magic of immersing oneself completely in a moment of passion or spiritual retreat. The tavern here represents more than just a place to drink; it is a sanctuary where one lets go of worldly burdens and truly embraces surrender. The poet suggests that when you sit peacefully in such an atmosphere, the ecstasy isn't confined to the cup alone—even the very breeze around you carries a sweet, intoxicating bliss.
