ALL SENTIENT BEINGS BORN, AND IN IT COME
TO REST. BUT IT IS NEITHER CONCRETE NOR ABSTRACT.
He says: From such unique spontaneity we are born. Out of such godliness we are born. And again we go back to this godliness to rest.
In the meantime, in the middle of these two, we become too much attached to the clouds. So ALL that is needed is not to be attached to the clouds. That is the whole of Tantra in one word: not to be attached to the clouds -- because clouds are there only for the moment. We come out of that source, that innocent source, and we will go back to rest in that innocent source. In the middle of these two there will be many clouds -- don't get attached to them. Just watch. Remember that you are not the clouds.
... ARE ALL SENTIENT BEINGS BORN, AND IN IT COME
TO REST.
We are out of God. We are gods. And again we go to God. In the meantime we start dreaming a thousand and one dreams -- of being this and that.
God is the most ordinary reality. God is your source. God is your goal. GOD IS RIGHT NOW HERE! In your very presence God is -- it is God's presence. When you look at me, it is God looking at me; it is nobody else. A shift, a change of the focus, from the cloud to the sky, and suddenly you will fall silent, and suddenly you will feel full of bliss, and suddenly you will feel benediction surrounding you.
BUT IT IS NEITHER CONCRETE NOR ABSTRACT.
It is neither mind nor body -- this godliness. Mind is abstract, body is concrete; body is gross, mind is subtle. Body is matter, mind is thought. This inner godliness is neither. This inner godliness is a transcendence.
Tantra is transcendence.
So if you think you are a body, you are clouded; then you are identified with a cloud. If you think you are a mind, again you are clouded. If you think in any way that makes you identified with body or mind, then you are missing the mark.
If you become awake, and suddenly you see yourself only as a witness who sees the body, sees the mind, you have become a Saraha -- the arrow is shot. In that change of consciousness -- it is just a small change of gear -- the arrow is shot, you have arrived.
