THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE - TANTRA (1)

There are two types of languages - logical language and love language. The mind language and heart language. The logical and the language of intelligence.  And there are basic differences between the two.

Logical language is aggressive, argumentative, and violent.  If I have to use logical language I will become aggressive upon your mind, as I will try to convince you, to convert you, to make a puppet of you. And I will say that my argument is "right" and yours is "wrong." Logical language is egocentric: "I am right and you are wrong, so I must prove that I am right and you are wrong." I will in no way be concerned about you, I will be only concerned with my ego. Proving always that my ego is always "right."

Love language is different. In this language, I am not concerned with my ego, as I am concerned with you. I am not concerned about proving something or strengthening my ego. I am concerned to help you, to be there for you. It is out of compassion to help you to grow, to help you to transform, to help you to be reborn.

Logic will always be intellectual. Concepts and principles will be significant, arguments will be significant.

With love language what is said is not so significant; rather, it is the way it is said. The container, the word is not important; the content, the message is more important. It is a heart-to-heart talk, not a mind-to-mind discussion. It is not a debate, it is a communion.

So if you are in love with for now who is other, the whole gestalt changes; it becomes different. Then you both are not hearing words, instead drinking each other. Words are irrelevant, the silence between the words becomes more significant.

That is why Tantra has a fixed device, a structure. No argument is going to be there, no waste of words. There are very simple statements of fact, telegraphic messages with no view to convince, but just to relate.

Your closed-ness has to be broken, so that your prejudices, then your preconceptions can be destroyed. Unless you are cleared completely of your past, nothing can be given to you, to say, Love cannot flow deep within you. So, when you are deeply in love your mind ceases to be. There is no past; only the present moment becomes everything. When you are in love the present is the only time, the now is all -- no past, no future, totally open. There is no defense -- nothing to be cleared, nothing to be destroyed. The ground is ready, only a seed needs to be dropped. Not only you,  the ground is ready, but you are welcoming, receptive, asking/ desiring to be impregnated. Out of the ancient, prehistoric worship of Mother Earth arose an all-embracing, truly holistic vision of life, the Tantra vision. Tantra - which can be translated as 'the essential thread' -winds its way through the most vibrantly alive and creatively rich parts of every religion.

Why am I writing this blog, on the subject of Tantra, well the first and foremost reason is, that I feel Tantra is lost and it is through Tantra, through love language I may see or try best to unite the Western exoteric sciences with Eastern esoteric sciences, the east and west meeting/ reunion for a truly holistic approach to life.

Well, I somehow see this as an irony that Jesus Christ, the God of the West, taught: - Have no enemy, bless them that curse you; whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also; stop all your work and be ready for the next world; the end of the world is near at hand. And the Lord in the Gita, the East is saying: Always work with great enthusiasm, destroy your enemies, and enjoy the world. But, after all, has somehow turned out to be exactly the reverse of what Christ or Krishna implied. The West never took the words of Jesus Christ seriously. Always of active habits, being possessed of a tremendous Rajasika nature, they gathered with great enterprise and youthful ardor the comforts and luxuries of the different countries of the world and enjoyed them to their hearts' content. And the East, especially, Indians somehow are/were sitting in a corner, with our bag and baggage, pondering on death day and night and singing —“Very tremulous and unsteady is the water on the lotus-leaf; so is the life of man frail and transient"—with the result that it is making our blood run cold and our flesh creep with the fear of Yama, the god of death; and Yama, too, alas, has taken us at our word, as it were—plague and all sorts of maladies have entered into our country. Now, can beauty be manufactured by rubbing and scrubbing? Can anybody's love be won by threats or force?

Tantra is freedom, freedom from all mind constructs, from all mind-games, a freedom from all structures, a freedom from the other. Tantra is liberation. Tantra language says if you are in order, then the whole world is in order for you. When you are in harmony, then the whole existence is in harmony for you. When you are in disorder, then the whole world is disordered.
