Our main fear—fear of dissolution, of being nothing—keeps us from realizing that when we think we are one particular thing, and therefore isolated, we indeed become only that thing and lose the rest. In accepting that we are nothing, we gain the world. This logical progression is the key to the Tantric vision and to the creative role of desires and passions, which through our sensorality are seen as the fastest steedlike messengers for leading us to the Self. We must, however, agree on the way in which the tantrikas view desires and passions, and how they live them in an absolute manner.
