Tantra & Tantrik Part - 3

Powers of Tantrik

A Tantric does not possess power, he himself is the embodiment of power. Whatever appears to be in his possession is an illusion. People think a Tantric can fly, pass through walls, control the elements, but all these are merely outer games. Real Tantra begins where your fear ends. A Tantric has already slain his mind, therefore no force in the world can rule over him. His consciousness has entered into the elements, and thus air, fire, water, earth, and sky recognize his command.

He does not act through mantras, he acts through resolve. In his vision, chanting, tilak, yantra, rudraksha, fire, all are instruments, not the path itself. He is not a slave of methods, he is the master of sadhana. The one who clings to practice is still a child; the one who has reduced even practice to ashes is the true Tantric.

A Tantric does not display miracles, because he knows that the one who exhibits miracles loses power. His energy is sharp like a sword, yet he keeps it in the sheath. The one who wants to show power at every moment is a trader, not a seeker. The true Tantric remains silent, because his every breath is a mantra. He neither fears anyone nor frightens anyone; he is only a witness of Adi Shivoham.

He has the power to see and the power to erase. He can bend time, yet he does not touch time. He can stop death, yet he does not run from death. He knows that power is neither given nor taken away. Power is simply a state in which the soul accepts itself as divine.

The one who calls himself a Tantric is not one. The one who considers himself nothing is the real Tantric. His existence dances upon the edge of a sword, and that dance itself is his Tantra. The one who beholds that dance understands that Adi Shiva is neither peace nor violence, Adi Shiva is awakening alone, and the Tantric is the guardian of that awakening.

Power is not in his hands, it is in his vision. And to look into that vision is not possible for an ordinary human, because he does not merely look, he pierces through. A Tantric is not one who summons deities; a Tantric is one who dissolves into divinity itself. All the rest is magic, spectacle, and the trade of ignorance.

Last Words

The moment people hear the name Tantra, what is the first thing that comes to their mind? Black magic, hypnosis, ghosts and spirits, cremation ground rituals, worship of pishachini and yakshini. This is the image that has been planted in society. Why? So that people remain afraid of Tantra. So that they never reach its real meaning. Hypocrites, frauds, and contractors of blind faith have presented Tantra in such a dirty and terrifying form that an ordinary person trembles just hearing its name. But the truth is that Tantra has nothing to do with all this. Tantra does not mean black magic. Tantra means the science of consciousness.

Those who consider Tantra a method to control spirits or to bind someone through hypnosis are not only foolish, they are also guilty of insulting Tantra. Tantra does not turn a person into a beggar who sits before God crying, “O God, give me this, give me that.” Tantra is not for such weak people. Tantra demands a warrior. A warrior who can fight his own fears, conquer his desires, and expand his consciousness. Tantra turns a person into a lion. And do not forget that sacrifice is always of the goat, never of the lion. A practitioner of Tantra is not one who bargains fearfully before deities. A practitioner of Tantra is one who has the courage to descend into the darkest abyss within himself, where no one else even dares to go. Tantra is that which makes a person confront his own illusions, his own lusts, his own darkness. And when a person wins that inner war, he no longer remains ordinary, he becomes extraordinary.

The path of Tantra is the path of experience, not belief. All other religions, sects, and hypocritical gurus trap you in a net of faith. They say, “Believe. Accept blindly.” But Tantra says, “Experience.” Because falsehood cannot survive in direct experience. That is why Tantra has always been a threat to society. The contractors of religion defamed it because they knew that if a person understood Tantra, he would break free from their web. And a free human being is the most dangerous, because he remains no one’s slave.

Today, human beings have turned religion into business. In temples, donations and ritual offerings are made as part of deals. Hypocrites dressed as saints frighten people, stage dramas of curses and blessings, and enslave crowds. But Tantra rejects this entire drama. Tantra says do not search for truth in any scripture, any idol, any rule, or any contractor. Truth is within you, and the method to awaken it is Tantra. The cremation ground has been declared the center of Tantra so that people become even more afraid. But the reality is that there is no greater teacher than the cremation ground, because it teaches that this body is temporary. Yet fake gurus twisted the meaning of cremation ground practice. They turned it into a spectacle of fear and superstition. True Tantra practice is neither to frighten anyone nor to control anyone. It is to end the fear of death within the practitioner himself. And the one who becomes free from the fear of death has no fear left at all.

Tantra gives you a power that books cannot give, temple bells cannot give, and sermons of gurus cannot give. Because Tantra makes you face truth directly. There is no curtain in it, no acting. It is naked, raw, dangerous. But the one who endures it finds that nothing remains impossible. Society abused Tantra because society wants timid people. People who do not question, who silently follow rules, who lose themselves in the crowd. But Tantra does not want such a person. Tantra gives birth to the one who questions, who rebels, who breaks rules, and lives truth through direct experience. That is why a Tantra practitioner stands apart from the crowd. He may be alone, but he is powerful. He may be silent, but even his silent presence creates tremors.

Tantra is not a frightening game, nor is it a tool of lust. It is the science of liberating the soul. Only the one who has the courage to become a lion can understand it. The rest will continue to live in fear and illusion. Remember, only the one who has the courage to burn walks through the fire of Tantra. The rest will keep worshipping the ashes as their God.

Tantra & Tantrik Part - 1

Fear Is Not Allowed 😰

Some people may be wondering why today’s topic is like this. But perhaps this article is needed, so today I am writing briefly on this subject. After finishing the article, I realized that my brief has become quite long.

Some people are afraid of tantrics. They say so and so is a tantric, he has done this or that to us. Tantrics are bad, they do black magic. They have jinns, spirits, someone is a great devotee of some goddess, someone is a devotee of some pir, someone gets possessed, someone is accomplished in the Shabari Vidya of the Navnaths, and so on. And the biggest thing is that he is a tantric. Nonsense.

Till today people have never encountered a true tantric. That is why they consider those who merely memorize cheap ritualistic mantras, those who claim possession, those who perform black magic, as tantrics and start fearing them. 

Nowadays anyone who performs exorcism or claims possession goes around calling himself a tantric. Out of them, ninety nine percent are hypocrites.

The depth of Tantra Shastra is not within everyone’s capacity. A mechanic working in a garage is not an engineer. Someone who gives small remedies is not a doctor. In the same way, a person who performs exorcism, who drives away ghosts and spirits, an ojha, someone who claims possession of a deity, a devotee who acts as a medium, a priest who performs rituals like Graha Shanti or Vastu Shanti, an astrologer who matches horoscopes, or a so called Bengali baba who does attraction rituals, such people cannot be tantrics. Becoming a tantric is not about wearing red or black clothes and performing exorcism. A person roaming around with a human skull or wandering intoxicated can never be a tantric. Tantric is an extremely honorable position in spirituality. Just as an engineer can, if he wishes, work as a mechanic in a garage, and a doctor can prescribe medicines for minor illnesses because he has complete knowledge of the field, similarly a tantric can easily perform the work of an exorcist, an astrologer, a priest, a yoga teacher, and even work related to modern technology or science, because he possesses deep knowledge of all these fields. But a garage mechanic cannot become an engineer. In the same way, someone who performs exorcism, worships spirits, claims possession of deities, performs religious rituals, is an astrologer, or is an expert in some scripture cannot be called a tantric.

Who is a tantric?

The position of a tantric is not a small thing. A tantric is a knower of mantra, yantra, tantra, meditation, yoga, astrology, human anatomy, and Kundalini science. Along with that, he is also knowledgeable in modern sciences such as chemistry, physics, psychology, as well as vidya, mahavidya, paravidya, and aparavidya. If I write even a small list of the subjects in which a tantric is proficient, people will say how can one person possess so much knowledge. A tantric practices not only at the physical level but also at the spiritual level. His practice continues constantly at the level of the soul.

The greatest tantric in this universe is the God of gods, Mahadev. When the time comes he assumes the form of Aghora. He drinks poison yet does not let it affect his body. He becomes Vaidyanath, the divine physician. As Yogeshwar he imparts the knowledge of yoga. As Nataraj he becomes the lord of arts. As Tripurari he can grant the knowledge of creating the three worlds to Tripurasura and is also capable of destroying the three worlds created by him.

Now I ask, one who possesses such vast knowledge, will he earn small money by performing exorcism?

Will he chase away ghosts and spirits to improve people’s lives? Will he take possession of a deity and shake his hair and dance? One who has a direct connection with the gods, will he indulge in ordinary human drama among humans? Will he roam in crowds or hold gatherings and narrate stories about Hanuman, Radhaji, Mahadev, Krishna merely to give speeches?

A tantric neither fears insult nor desires respect. He never comes to the front. He has no expectations from humans. He has no interest in reforming society because he knows that these human creatures are not going to improve. In Kaliyuga there is hardly any chance. Everyone will perish, if not in this birth then in the next or the one after that. A tantric has no interest in becoming someone’s guru. But when he guides someone, he expects that person to obey him completely, with full surrender and without doubt.

Because without abandoning doubt, no one can become Shankar.

Why am I telling all this? Do I want to reform society? No. I only want to ask this. Nowadays on social media there are many self proclaimed tantrics teaching tantra. Do they truly know tantra? Only a true tantric can give proper education of tantra, and tantra teaches self elevation. It builds an unshakable character. It makes one wise. If tantrics were not knowledgeable, then Ram would not have asked Lakshman to learn universal knowledge from Ravan, because Ravan himself was a tantric. The one who possesses knowledge of the whole universe is called a tantric. A tantric has no interest in petty matters like exorcism, charms, ghosts, or attraction rituals. Nor does he allow those who are interested in such things to come near him, nor does he teach them.

To be continued.
