In this episode, Dr. Bharat Thakur introduces us to the concept of Tantra. Tantra is a science of practice, not of scholars, however brilliant. It begins at the point where the conscious mind ends, is frustrated. You don’t stop when you have reached the limit of your analysis, the journey begins then. If you give up here you will have done all the hard work and stopped. It is like searching for the Ganga and when you get to her banks you are scared to dip into her waters; it's too cold or the current is too fast.
Dr. Bharat Thakur quotes from the sufi poet amir khusro. “Khusro dariya prem ka, jo ulti wa ki dhaar, jo ubhara so doob gaya, jo dooba so paar”. Meaning, the river of love or knowledge has a reverse principle, the one who struggles to stay afloat drowns and the one who takes the plunge willingly gets to the other side of the river.
