Be Undivided

be undivided!

Tantra says don’t divide, be undivided; only then will you be victorious. How to be undivided? You
don’t condemn, don’t say ”this” is good and ”that” is bad. Just withdraw all conceptions of purity and
impurity. Look at the world, but don’t say what it is. Be ignorant, don’t be too much wise. Don’t label,
remain silent, non-condemnatory, non-justifying. If you can remain silent about the world, by and by
this silence will penetrate within. And if the division is not there outwardly, the division will disappear
from the inner consciousness, because both CAN exist together.
But this is dangerous for society. That is why tantra was suppressed. This is dangerous! Nothing is
immoral, nothing is moral; nothing is pure, nothing is impure. Things are as they are. A real tantric
will not say that a thief is bad; he will say that he is a thief; that is all. And by using the word ‘thief’
there is no condemnation in his mind. This ”thief” is just a fact, not a condemnation. If someone
says that ”Here is a man who is a great saint,” he will say, ”Okay! He is a saint.” But there is no
evaluation in it. He will not say, ”He is good”, he will say, ”Okay! He is a saint and that man is a thief,”
just like this is a rose and that is not a rose, this tree is high and that tree is low, night is dark and
day is light – but without comparison.
But this is dangerous. Society cannot exist without condemning one thing and without appreciating
the other – society cannot exist! Society exists on duality. That is why tantra was suppressed. It was
thought to be anti-social, but it is not. It is not! But that very attitude of non-duality is transcendental.
It is not anti-society, it is transcendental; it is beyond society.
Try this. Just move in the world without any values, just with natural facts: someone is this, someone
is that. And then, by and by, you will feel a non-division within yourself. Your polarities will be coming
together, your ”bad” and your ”good” will be coming together. They will merge into one, and you will
become one unity. There will be nothing as pure, nothing as impure. Know the reality.
”THE PURITY OF OTHER TEACHINGS IS AN IMPURITY TO US:” Tantra says that ”What is basic
for others is poisonous for us.” For example, there are teachings which are based on non-violence.
They say violence is bad, non-violence is good. Tantra says that non-violence is non-violence,
violence is violence; nothing is good and nothing is bad.
There are teachings which are based on celibacy – BRAHMACHARYA. They say that
BRAHMACHARYA is good, sex is bad. Tantra says sex is sex, BRAHMACHARYA is
BRAHMACHARYA. One is a BRAHMACHARI and one is not. But these are simple facts, no values
are attached to them. And tantra will never say that BRAHMACHARYA is good – the celibate is good
– and that the one who is in sex is bad. Tantra will not say that. Tantra accepts things as they are.
And why? Just to create a unity within you.
