Tantraiana
Next, what is Tantra? In Tantra there are three ways: Left, Right and Medium. What is the Left Way? This is a high-level technique, by means of which the one who attains a higher dimension pulls the consciousness of another person upwards, using subtle spiritual energy. Initially there is such a thing as man's worldly desires. So, to affirm affirmatively these worldly desires, to revive them, to activate and begin to satisfy, and, further, with the help of yogic techniques, to direct to the spiritual practice the primordial ignorance of man - his consciousness desiring to receive one pleasures, or in other words, to bring out the worldly desire , and the desire to sublimate through the mantra or through a special technique of breathing is the essence of the Left Path.
What is the Right Way? It is a way of strengthening, raising and purifying energy through the practice of overcoming pain, overcoming suffering, and also by reading special mantras.
Finally, what is the Medium Path? It is largely intertwined with the Left Path, but progress is mainly through the use of images, special mantras or special meditations.
The peculiarity of Tantra is that, however, the primary source of energy is the guru. Why is this so? The fact is that, even if there is a God, we can not see it; whom we can see-this is our guru-is a manifestation of the inner essence of God descending into this World of Phenomena, and therefore the guru is considered the primary source of all energy. And in order to reach the Achievement as quickly as possible, it is worthwhile for a long time to concentrate the mind on the guru.
That's what the teaching of Tantra is, and that's why it's so important to find a true guru who has achieved samadhi, that is, Liberation. If there is no true guru, then the practice of Tantra can lead to a grave devilish state (schizophrenia), to a total waste of merit and the accumulation of bad karma. Therefore, independent practice of Tantra or practice with a false teacher is very dangerous. Tantra, using the energy of worldly desires, strengthens and lifts consciousness extremely quickly, due to which it reaches the astral and causal world. In the event that a person has unconscious subconsciousness and superconsciousness, then, facing face to face with his pollution, he begins to satisfy worldly desires and falls. But the essence of Tantra is not to satisfy worldly desires, but to use the energy of worldly desires for a quick cleansing. Therefore, without the accumulation of great merit and without adherence to a true guru, this practice is extremely dangerous.
Now, between what is usually called Tantra, and Tantra, in the true sense, there is a big discrepancy. What is it? The first essential point is whether or not a complete sublimation of energy is possible. If the situation is such that sublimation does not occur, then we can say that this is a simple hedonism, the primacy of the principle of worldly desires. It can be explained by the following figurative comparison. Let there be some kind of food. And the person is told: "Eat before the blade". At the same time he is created such a state of consciousness that a person really was able to eat before the dump, even though there is suffering in passing. Of course, we proceed from the fact that there is a Guru who is able to influence the pupil so. And if so, in this situation there is a consciousness of commitment. Outwardly, everything looks like that, because of taking a huge amount of food, energy should be lowered, as it were. But thanks to adherence, energy is pulled up. This is because consciousness has merged with the guru.
Imagine a similar situation, but without the consciousness of adherence. There is food, the person zealously absorbs it, and, being full, thinks: "Oh, I ate, ate well." It turns out that he simply spent Saman-vay, and he could not get any good for himself. The same can be said about the Tantra of the Left Path.
We need to get rid of everything and everything that we possess. For example, it is necessary to perform liberation in relation to the Form-Appearance, that is, the physical body, with respect to Sensations, with respect to Representations, with respect to Will, or Formed Experience, with respect to Discernment, that is, data in deep layers of consciousness. And it is possible to reach a certain stage of this liberation by tantric means, but Tantra, especially the Left Path, in principle asserts worldly desires as such, and therefore pulling up, raising consciousness to absolute tranquility in Tantra is impossible.
What is the reason for this? There are worldly desires, and these worldly desires are met. And while they are satisfied with the sublimation of energy, everything is in order. Further, when the energy is completely sublimated, the state of Nirvana Tantrayani comes. But in this state of Nirvana, Karma is left in the form of experience and actions that were raised up to that time. Consequently, until there is no other way of spiritual practice interrupting this karma, it will be impossible to set foot on the final frontier.
