"There is nowhere else to go, and there is nothing else to be.

"Tantra is not a religion in the ordinary sense because it has no rituals, it has no priests, it has no scriptures. It is an individual approach towards reality. It is tremendously rebellious. Its trust is not in the organization, its trust is not in the community; its trust is in the individual. Tantra believes in you.

"I have heard….

"It happened in a Billy Graham revival meeting – a guy was collecting donations and then he started to split with the money. Two policemen caught him redhanded; they brought him to Billy Graham. Naturally Billy Graham was very angry and said to the man, 'This money belongs to God, and what were you trying to do? Trying to cheat God?'

"The man said, 'Sir, I took the money in an effort to get closer to God–by eliminating the middleman, of course.'

"The middleman is not needed at all. The real master never tries to become the middleman; he is not. He helps you not to reach to God, he helps you only to become aware of that which is already there. He is not a bridge between you and God, he is just a bridge between your unawareness and awareness. The moment you become aware, you are joined to God directly, immediately, without anybody standing between you and God.

"This Tantra vision is one of the greatest visions ever dreamed by man: a religion without the priest, a religion without the temple, a religion without the organization; a religion which does not destroy the individual but respects individuality tremendously, a religion which trusts in the ordinary man and woman. And this trust goes very deep. Tantra trusts in your body; no other religion trusts in your body. And when religions don't trust in your body, they create a split between you and your body. They make you enemies of your bodies, they start destroying the wisdom of the body.

"Tantra trusts in your body. Tantra trusts in your senses. Tantra trusts in your energy. Tantra trusts in you – in toto. Tantra does not deny anything but transforms everything.

"How to attain to this Tantra vision? This is the map to turn you on, and to turn you in, and to turn you beyond."
