Tantra speaks about senses. Again the religions are against the senses. They try to dull the senses and sensitivity. And the senses are your doors of perception, the senses are the windows into reality. What is your eye? What are your ears? What is your nose? Windows into reality, windows into God. These birds are chanting MANTRAS. These trees are giving sermons in silence. All sounds are his, and all forms are his. So if you dont have sensitivity in you, how will you know God? And you have to go to a church, to a temple to find him... and he is all over the place. In a man-made temple, in a man-made church you go to find God? Man seems to be so stupid. God is everywhere, alive and kicking everywhere. But for that you need clean senses, purified senses. Look at the Tantra approach about everything. Others say: Dull your senses, kill your taste! And Tantra says: Taste God in every taste. Others say: Kill your capacity to touch. And Tantra says: Flow totally into your touch, because whatsoever you touch is divine. It is a total reversal of the so-called religions. It is a radical revolution -- from the very roots. Touch, smell, taste, see, hear as totally as possible. You will have to learn the language because the society has befooled you: it has made you forget. Touch people more. We have become very touchy about touch. If somebody is talking to you and comes too close, you start moving backwards. We protect our territory. We dont touch and we dont allow others to touch; we dont hold hands, we dont hug. We dont enjoy each others being. Go to the tree, touch the tree. Touch the rock. Go to the river, let the river flow through your hands. Feel it! Swim, and feel the water again as the fish feels it. Dont miss any opportunity to revive your senses. Sitting under your shower, use the opportunity feel the touch of the water falling on you. Lie down on the beach, feel the sand. Listen to the sounds of the sand, listen to the sounds of the sea. Use every opportunity only then will you be able to learn the language of the senses again. And Tantra can be understood only when your body is alive and your senses feel. Free your senses from habits: habits are one of the root causes of dullness. Find out new ways of doing things. Invent new ways of loving. People are very much afraid. ************************************ ~ Osho ~
