The Tantra Experience: Evolution through Love: summary, description and annotation

This life is a gift from existence, to be lived and enjoyed. But with the seemingly impossible and conflicting demands of society, morality and culture, people struggle with feelings of unfulfilled potential, frustration and guilt, rather than living full lives.
The world of Tantra has no division between higher and lower. The simple, ordinary, things of life are transformed into great things when we enter into them totally be it car fixing, floor cleaning or lovemaking. Osho shows how, living this vision, new heights of consciousness and freedom are realized.
The days of tantra are coming. Sooner or later tantra will explode for the first time in the masses, because for the first time the time is ripe -- ripe to take sex naturally. One thing to be remembered always: if you are not very alert you may go on believing that you are moving into tantra, and you may be simply rationalizing your sexuality -- it may be nothing but sex, rationalized in the terminology of tantra. If you move into sex with awareness, it can turn into tantra. If you move into tantra with unawareness, it can fall and become ordinary sex.

Table of Contents
preface
Tantra acceptance is total; it doesnt split you. All the religions of the world, except Tantra, have created split personalities. All the religions of the world, except Tantra, have created schizophrenia. They split you. They make something bad in you and something good. And they say the good has to be achieved and the bad denied, the Devil has to be denied and God accepted. They create a split within you and a fight. Then you are continuously feeling guilty, because how can you destroy the part that is organically one with you? You may call it bad, you may call it names; it doesnt make any difference. How can you destroy it? You never created it. You have simply found it; it was given. Anger is there, sex is there, greed is there; you have not created them; they are given facts of life, just like your eyes and your hands. You can call them names, you can call them ugly or beautiful or whatsoever you like, but you cannot kill them.
Nothing can be killed out of existence; nothing can be destroyed.
Tantra says a transformation is possible, but destruction, no! And a transformation comes when you accept your total being. Then suddenly everything falls in line, then everything takes its own place; then anger is also absorbed, then greed is also absorbed. Then without trying to cut anything out of your being, your whole being rearranges itself. If you accept and say yes, a rearrangement happens, and whereas before there was a noisy clamor inside, now a melody music is born, a harmony comes in.

CHAPTER 1
learning through action
The Royal Song of Saraha:
I bow down to noble Manjusri,
I bow down to him who has conquered the finite.
I bow down to him who has conquered the finite.
As calm water lashed by wind
turns into waves and rollers,
so the king thinks of Saraha
in many ways, although one man.

so the king thinks of Saraha
in many ways, although one man.
To a fool who squints,
one lamp is as two.
Where seen and seer are not two, ah, the mind works
on the thing-ness of them both.

Where seen and seer are not two, ah, the mind works
on the thing-ness of them both.
Though the house lamps have been lit,
the blind live on in the dark.
Though spontaneity is all encompassing and close,
to the deluded it remains always far away.
the blind live on in the dark.
Though spontaneity is all encompassing and close,
to the deluded it remains always far away.
Though there may be many rivers, they are one in the sea.
Though there may be many lies, one truth will conquer all.
When one sun appears,
the dark, however deep,
will vanish.

Gautama the Buddha is the greatest master who has ever walked on the earth. Christ is a great master, so is Krishna, so is Mahavira, so is Mohammed, and many more, but Buddha still remains the greatest master. Not that his achievement of enlightenment is greater than anybody elses enlightenment is neither less nor more. He has attained to the same quality of consciousness as Mahavira, as Christ, as Zarathustra, as Lao Tzu. There is no question of any enlightened man being more enlightened than anybody else. But as far as his being a master is concerned Buddha is incomparable because through him thousands of people have attained to enlightenment.
It has never happened with any other master. His line has been the most fruitful line; his family has been the most creative family up to now. He is like a big tree with so many branches and each branch has been fruitful, each branch is loaded with many fruits. Mahavira remained a local phenomenon. Krishna fell into the hands of scholars and was lost. Christ was completely destroyed by the priests. Much could have happened, but it didnt happen; Buddha has been tremendously fortunate in this. Not that the priests have not tried, not that the scholars have not tried; they have done all that they can do but somehow Buddhas teaching was devised in such a way that it could not be destroyed. It is still alive. Even after twenty-five centuries a few flowers come on his tree, it still blooms. Spring comes, and still it releases fragrance, it still bears fruit.
Saraha is also a fruit of the same tree. Saraha was born about two centuries after Buddha; he was in the direct line of a different branch. One branch moves from Mahakashyapa to Bodhidharma, and Zen is born and it is still full of flowers, that branch. Another branch moves from Buddha to his son, Rahul Bhadra, and from Rahul Bhadra to Sri Kirti, and from Sri Kirti to Saraha, and from Saraha to Nagarjuna that is the Tantra branch. It is still bearing fruit in Tibet. Tantra converted Tibet, and Saraha is the founder of Tantra just as Bodhidharma is the founder of Zen. Bodhidharma conquered China, Korea, Japan; Saraha conquered Tibet.
These songs of Saraha are of great beauty. They are the very foundation of Tantra. You will first have to understand the Tantra attitude towards life, the Tantra vision of life. The most basic thing about Tantra is this and very radical, revolutionary, rebellious the basic vision is that the world is not divided into the lower and the higher, but that the world is one piece. 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, has not to be condemned, has not to be destroyed or killed. The lower has to be transformed. The lower has to be allowed to move upwards and then 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.
That is the reason why the very root of the word devil means the same as divine. The word devil comes from divine; it is the divine not yet evolved, thats all. Not that the Devil is against the divine, not that the Devil is trying to destroy the divine in fact the Devil is trying to find the divine. The Devil is on the way towards the divine; it is not the enemy, it is the seed. The divine is the tree fully in bloom, and the Devil is the seed but the tree is hidden in the seed, and the seed is not against the tree. In fact the tree cannot exist if the seed is not there. The tree is not against the seed; they are in deep friendship, they are together. Poison and nectar are two phases of the same energy, so are life and death and so is everything: day and night, love and hate, sex and superconsciousness.
Tantra says: never condemn anything the attitude of condemnation is a stupid attitude. By condemning something you are denying yourself the possibility that would have become available to you if you had evolved the lower. Dont condemn the mud, because the lotus is hidden in the mud; use the mud to produce the lotus. Of course the mud is not the lotus yet, but it can be. The creative person, the religious person, will help the mud to release its lotus so that the lotus can be freed from the mud.
Saraha is the founder of the Tantra vision. It is of tremendous import and particularly for the present moment in human history because a new man is striving to be born, a new consciousness is knocking on the doors, and the future is going to be that of Tantra because now dual attitudes can no longer hold mans mind. They have tried for centuries; and they have crippled man and they have made man guilty They have not made man free; they have made man a prisoner. They have not made man happy either, they have made man very miserable. They have condemned everything: from food to sex they have condemned everything, from relationship to friendship they have condemned all. Love is condemned, the body is condemned, the mind is condemned. They have not left a single inch for you to stand on; they have taken away all, and man is hanging, just hanging. This state of man cannot be tolerated any longer.
