The Sadhu

Like any natural process, tantra is a rainbow of varying phases. Sometimes, it becomes a spring of pleasure; sometimes, it turns into an inescapable pit of hellish fire; and sometimes, it presents itself as a whirlwind of surprises. Irrespective of its appearance and feel, it is a test and a reward, simultaneously. Here, emotions play a crucial role; but, too much of indulgence, fear or awe are the quickest methods of self-sacrifice. They say, you can either progress spiritually like an ascetic or enjoy the worldly riches like a king, but not both at the same time. This path to Moksh includes that possibilities. It also includes the surety of no redemption for the greedy and the lusty.

Leeching the Leeches

Each triumph enables me to become one with another unique aspect of the Turiya. It changes everything - my mind, my perceptions, the way my body interacts with the surroundings. It strengthens me on every level of consciousness. It expands my sphere of influence making me felt more prominently across the universe. It also creates some unwanted ripples that summon the otherwise dormant evil out of its shadowy hideouts which, in turn, blocks my path with some very innovative obstacles. Obstacle that I must eliminate to leap ahead in my quest for perfection.

Evil never gives up. Unless it is neutralized absolutely, it always adapts and finds a way to reassert itself. Forgiving it makes it immune to everything effective against it till that point and literally allows it to grow more rapidly. Now that I have unwittingly brought evil out into the plain view, I must first plug every possibility that may allow it to tap into my reserves and drain me bone dry. Earning wouldn't matter much if I can't protect what I have and reclaim what's rightfully mine. This art is as important as mastering the craft to inverse everything that was meant to harm me.

A Leisurely Research

A while ago, there was a time when I had gotten as far as I conventionally could in my spiritual quest - filled with extreme passion for great deeds, yet sorely without a purpose. While researching a rather shrouded aspect of transcendence in a bid to cross the threshold, I bumped into clues that were capable of constituting something entirely different - a Lakshmi sadhana.
