Tantra: Connecting Deeper With Life
Many things mark this contemporary world we live in – fast lives, working hard, playing hard … in many ways we seem to have it all. But there is another side to the picture. We also seem to be disintegrating as human beings, turning into shadows of our former selves that know nothing less than earning money and seeking pleasures selfishly.
Today society seems to be crumbling. The hardest hit of this modern malaise of selfishness is the institution of family. Divorce rates are higher than ever and promise to only climb in the future; studies have shown that late marriages are so in fashion that there are practically no marriages taking place in the age group 20-28 years.
It is a crying shame that with the easy availability of information on sex – the highest act of love – is being reduced to nothing more than a mere … act … a performance, an experiment … a means to enhance one’s image in front of one’s judgemental peers and a way to appease one’s ego. To think that the sexual act of love has been reduced to just that …! It makes me shudder!
The problem lies in the manner in which people are exposed to sex. The way in which information on sex is dissimilated in educational institutions, the way it is portrayed online and the degree to which parents are uncomfortable talking about pleasure makes sex highly clinical, such that people have no clue as to what it is like to be connected to another person. Thus living with a person day in, day out in a committed relationship is hard to sustain.
The magic of sex lies not in the mechanical, clinical, physical act but in the Tantric connection that two souls find in each other, and it is this connection that keeps two people together for life. Tantra teaches you how to find that connection.
It is not easy, but then again, nothing worth gaining is very easy to find. To understand Tantra one must surpass many levels, many barriers, both external and internal, that stand between oneself and one’s goal – supreme awareness. With that heightened awareness one can expect to find the solution for many of the modern ills affecting our society today.
With a connection as strong as the one Tantra helps you find, why would you ever want to leave the person you choose to be your life partner? Not only will Tantra help you find that deep connection with another’s soul, but it can also help you enhance the connections you have with your children, thus ensuring that they do not slip away into a downward spiral of degeneration. In time, with the teaching Tantra gives them, they will also have a highly fulfilling life.
Tantra is highly misunderstood in the eyes of the world because of some people who use it for highly unethical reasons. Only the ones who are true followers of this magnificent science can fully understand the way it can uplift society and take it back to the days of glory when this connection was alive and thriving.
