Tantra, The Balance of "Spirit and Nature". Seeing the Spiritual in the Sensual.
Tantra is the original "holistic" way of life, yoking body, mind and spirit into living life as a whole. Polarities of good and evil, pure and impure, matter and spirit are done away with as unnecessary barriers to a direct experience of cosmic consciousness. With great finesse, tantra uses material reality for spiritual unfoldment.
According to Tantra, everything in the universe is perfect as it is; the limitations that exist are within the mind. It is said in the Tripurarahasya: "Though in reality there is no bondage, the individual is in bondage as long as there exists the feeling of limitation in him.
When we become lost in our lover,
what is happening is that our souls are merging.
This is an experience that is independent of the physical body.
It can be compared to two lights moving
closer and closer until they occupy the same space."
