TANTRA IS SCIENCE OF TRANSFORMING ORDINARY LOVERS INTO SOUL MATES

"In the East, we have developed a science: if you cannot find a Soul Mate, you can create One. And that science is Tantra. To find a Soul Mate means to find the person with whom all your 7 centers meet naturally. That is impossible. Once in a while, a Krishna and a Radha, a Shiva and a Shakti. And when it happens it is very beautiful. But it is like lightning – you cannot depend on it. The lightning is a natural phenomenon, but not dependable.

"If you wait for your natural Soul Mate to meet with you, it will be just like waiting for lightning. Hence, Tantra was created. Tantra is a scientific approach. Tantra is alchemy; it can transform your centers, it can transform the other's centers, it can create a rhythm and harmony between you and your Beloved. Two lovers can be transformed so deeply that all their 7 centers can start meeting. That is the beauty of Tantra. It is like bringing electricity into your house. Then you can turn it on and off whenever you want. And you can have a thousand and one uses of it; it can cool your room, it can heat your room. Then it is a miracle. These 7 centers in you are nothing but centers of body electricity. This is the Lightning! In your body, there exists a subtle current of electricity, very subtle. But the subtler it is, the deeper it goes.

"Tantra is the natural way to God. The object is to become completely instinctual, mindless and merge with Ultimate Nature – that the woman disappears and becomes a door for the Ultimate, the man disappears and becomes a door for the Ultimate.

"This is the tantric definition of our sexuality: the return to absolute Innocence, absolute Oneness. The greatest sexual thrill of all is not a search for thrills, but a silent waiting, utterly relaxed, utterly mindless. One is Conscious, Conscious only of Being Conscious. One is Consciousness. One is contented but there is no content to it. And then there is great beauty, great benediction. Tantra is not technique but prayer. Is not head oriented but a relaxation into the heart.

"Pray, sing, play, dance with your partner, with no idea of sex. Get lost into it. And some day Love will arise out of that being lost, suddenly you will see that you are Making Love and you are not making It. It is happening, you are possessed by It. Then you have your first Tantra experience of being possessed by something bigger than you. You were dancing, singing, chanting praying or meditating together, and suddenly you find you both have moved into a New Space. And you don't know when you have started Making Love; you don't remember either. Then you are being possessed by Tantra Energy. And then for the first time you will see a non-technical experience.

"Tantra Vision is the greatest Vision of man: religion without the priest, temple, organization, which does not destroy the individual but respects individuality tremendously, which trusts in the ordinary man and woman. And this trust goes very deep. Tantra trusts in your body; no other religion trusts in your body. And when religions don't trust in your body, they create a split between you and your body. They make you enemies of your bodies, they start destroying the wisdom of the body.

"Tantra trusts in your body. Tantra trusts in your senses. Tantra trusts in your energy. Tantra trusts in you – in toto. Tantra does not deny anything but transforms everything.

"Tantra says, first purify the body of all repressions. Allow the body energy to flow, remove the blocks and tension. Tantra is all that is beautiful, joyful, blissful. Tantra says: Existence is an eternal orgasm, an ecstasy going on forever and forever.

"Tantra is very radical, revolutionary, rebellious basic vision of the world as not divided into the lower and the higher, but that It is One. The higher and the lower are holding hands. The higher includes the lower, and the lower includes the higher. The higher is hidden in the lower, so the lower has not to be denied, condemned, destroyed or killed. The lower has to be transformed. The lower has to be allowed to move upwards and the lower becomes the higher. There is no unbridgeable gap between the devil and God: the devil is carrying God deep down in his heart. Once that heart starts functioning, the devil becomes God.

"There is neither matter nor Spirit. Reality is One. It expresses Itself in many forms: on one level as matter, on another level as Spiritual. The spiritual is not higher, and the material is not lower–they stand on the same level. Life and Existence is a tremendous Oneness and there is no evaluation. In Tantra One has simply to relax and Be. If you move into sex with Awareness, it can turn into Tantra.

"From sex to Tantra: a great revolution, a mutation, is possible in man. You become aware that when you are meditative while making Love, the quality of sex changes and something new enters into it and it becomes Tantric, prayerful, meditative ending in Samadhi.

"Even while using sex as a means to go towards Samadhi, you have to remain unattached to sex, absolutely neutral, an observer, a witness. Tantra is the path of Love and Love is surrender to God in all and transcendence. If you become unconscious in orgasm it leads you nowhere. Through deep meditative sex experience, you will come to know that sex energy is nothing but Divine Energy. Then sex becomes Samadhi.

"Tantra is for a choiceless witnessing. Don't be with the animal, nor with the Divine and don't create a conflict. Just create a gap between you and this duality and become a third force, a witnessing, from where you can see both the animal and the Divine. It creates Unity in You. Allow valleys to disappear; don't judge.

"Tantra says, forget God if you believe you are an animal and see this animal in its totality. In that seeing itself, God will grow. Tantra accepts the body, sex and everything. And Tantra says, wisdom accepts everything and transforms it; only ignorance rejects. The body can become a vehicle to that which is beyond body, and sex energy can become a spiritual force.

"Tantra says there is no duality; it is only an appearance. Don't help appearance of duality grow stronger. Dissolve it this very moment! Be One! Through acceptance you become One, not through fight. Accept the world, body, and everything that is inherent in it. Do not create a different center in yourself, because for Tantra that different center is nothing but the ego. Do not create an ego. Just be Aware of what you are. If you fight, then the ego will be there.

"Tantra is the science of transforming ordinary lovers into Soul Mates. And that is the grandeur of Tantra. It can transform the whole Earth; It can transform each couple into Soul Mates."
