The First Thing is the Body
1 comments
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.
How to attain to this Tantra vision? This is the map to turn you on,
and to turn you in, and to turn you beyond.
The first thing is the body. The body is your base, it is your ground,
it is where you are grounded. To make you antagonistic towards the
body is to destroy you, is to make you schizophrenic, is to make you
miserable, is to create hell. You are the body. Of course you are more
than the body, but that 'more' will follow later on. First, you are the body.
The body is your basic truth, so never be against the body. Whenever
you are against the body, you are going against God. Whenever you are
disrespectful to your body you are losing contact with reality, because
your body is your contact, your body is your bridge. Your body is your
temple.
Tantra teaches reverence for the body, love, respect for the body,
gratitude for the body. The body is marvelous; it is the greatest of
mysteries.
But you have been taught to be against the body. So sometimes you
are over-mystified by the tree, by the green tree; sometimes mystified by
the moon and the sun, sometimes mystified by a flower - but you are
never mystified by your own body. And your body is the most complex
phenomenon in existence. No flower, no tree has such a beautiful body
as you have; no moon, no sun, no star has such an evolved mechanism
as you have.
You have been taught to appreciate the flower, which is a simple
thing. You have been taught to appreciate a tree, which is a simple
thing. You have even been taught to appreciate stones, rocks,
mountains, rivers, but you have never been taught to respect your own body,
to be mystified by it.
Yes, it is very close, so it is very easy to forget about. It is very obvious,
so it is easy to neglect. But this is the most beautiful phenomenon.
If you look at a flower, people will say, 'How aesthetic!' And if you
look at a woman's beautiful face or a man's beautiful face, people will
say. This is lust." If you go to the tree and stand there, and look in a
dazed state at the flower - your eyes wide open, your senses wide open
to allow the beauty of the flower to enter you - people will think you are
a poet or a painter or a mystic. But if you go to a woman or a man and
just stand there with great reverence and respect, and look at the
woman with your eyes wide open and your senses drinking in the beauty
of the woman, the police will catch hold of you. Nobody will say that
you are a mystic, a poet; nobody will appreciate what you are doing.
Something has gone wrong. If you go to a stranger on the street and
you say, 'What beautiful eyes you have!" you will feel embarrassed, he
will feel embarrassed. He will not be able to say thank you to you. In
fact, he will feel offended. He will feel offended, because who are you
to interfere in his private life? Who are you to dare? If you go and
touch the tree, the tree feels happy. But if you go and touch a man he
will feel offended. What has gone wrong? Something has been damaged
tremendously and very deeply.
Tantra teaches you to reclaim respect for the body, love for the body.
Tantra teaches you to look at the body as the greatest creation of God.
Tantra is the religion of the body. Of course it goes higher, but it never
leaves the body; it is grounded there. It is the only religion which is
really grounded in the earth: it has roots. Other religions are uprooted
trees – dead, dull, dying; the juice does not flow in them. Tantra is
really juicy, very alive.
The first thing is to learn respect for the body, to unlearn all the
nonsense that has been taught to you about the body. Otherwise
you will never turn on, and you will never turn in, and you will never
turn beyond.
Start from the beginning. The body is your beginning.
