I'm reading the story of Saraha, founder of tantra. Very exciting!Saraha looks like a great inspiration to attain enlightment for the people living in the married life. Sex was loathed in this society for centuries. In a period, where sexual intercourse is considered as transgress for a yogi, saraha found his partner. He had chosen the occupation of arrow maker. To this point, i agree with the oldest philosopher on the planet, Krishna. Karma has nothing to do with our act but with the thought. When we start doing things, without any inclination, we are actually moving toward the ultimate. The peak of the awareness will come in the peak of love or vice versa. No state of mind is the ultimate. One state mind is the penultimate. We can reach the no state mind, when we start working without any inclination. In the peak of awareness a no state mind evolves. In the consummating point of love, the peak of awareness comes out. Or in the peak of awareness, the peak of love comes out. I can not see, love and awareness are two different entities in their peak. They merge together in their peaks. Or may be right from the beginning both are single entities. May be, we are seeing it from different sides and conclude both are different. I can draw an analogy of my thought, suppose we are living in the slopes of the huge mountain side and we enjoy the scenes of the mountainside. Often we endeavor to climb the mountain. For some reasons it is getting postponed. Then we are traveling some 1000 kilometers of a road to reach the slope of another mountain. And now the temptation to climb the new found mountain raises and we are climbing the mountain. As we started climbing the mountain the temptation of climbing further goes up. And we keep on climbing the mountain finally we reach the top of the mountain. When we reached the top, we see all the four sides of the mountain, so beautiful. Suddenly we realize, the other side of the mountain is the one, we were living previously. Just we were seeing the mountain from different sides and concluding both are different mountains. When we reach the top, we realize that it is a single mountain. Art, science, anger, love, philosophy... are all just the different sides of the same mountain. Just as we are looking from different sides, they look like different mountains. When we start climbing from one side and when we reach the top, we realize it is just a single mountain. When we look up further, we realize the mountain doesn't exist. It is not the endless nothingness above the mountain making us feel as if the mountain doesn't exist. But actually the mountain doesn't exist. Whatever we do, when we start loving it and doing it with utmost awareness we start climbing the mountain only to realize the mountain doesn't exist.
