Tantra: The Way Of Acceptance

Tantra is presented here as a way of accepting life fully, rather than dividing experience into higher and lower. Osho argues that people often feel stuck between the demands of society, morality, and culture, which leave them frustrated, guilty, and short of their potential. He suggests that ordinary acts, from repairing a car to cleaning the floor to making love, become meaningful when we give ourselves to them completely. Through awareness, he says, a person can move toward greater consciousness and freedom. The book also warns that sex approached without attention can become a mere rationalization.
