The tantras are the ancient sacred books of India and Tibet. And the tantras detail specific means for attaining liberation. When I speak of tantra yoga, I'm speaking of a type of yoga that is best practiced by persons who live in society. It's a yoga for the last yuga. Tantra means the avoidance of a set or defined form of spirituality. Tantra is intuitive self-discovery, which initially sounds very good and very attractive. We feel that the path of love, the path of mysticism, the path of self-giving, the path of knowledge, the four paths, are very demanding. And they are. Then of course, there is the fifth path that I respect but do not teach, and that's the path of asceticism.

Tantra is for someone who practices all the paths because all the paths are encompassed in tantra. So tantra is a way that can only be practiced by someone who's truly, truly dedicated, literally fanatical, but at the same time who is not caught up in the trap of fanaticism. A person who has dedicated their life to self-realization, not in name but in action, someone who is actually ready to travel to the farthest ends of the earth for truth and will actually do it and will leave everything⎯family, home, whatever⎯for truth. But in spite of that feeling, in spite of that readiness, one still is getting snared again and again by one's own games, by one's desires, by one's desire for liberation.

What can you do when all the remedies fail, both spiritual and worldly? What can you do? Well, at such a time, there is a form of yoga you can practice that will enable you to destroy everything, including yourself and your conceptions. And from this destruction will arise a creation, a new force; an energy will enter your life. This yoga is, I suppose, the most dangerous of the yogas. But then again, you get to a point where it really doesn't matter. One can get to a point where nothing is working. We're headed off the cliff, plummeting to the bottom, so why not try one last thing? When you've sunk as low as you can get⎯or so you think because there's no end to the depths to which you can fall as there is no end to the heights to which you can rise—when you feel, as my grandfather used to say, "lower than a snake's ass,” at such a moment, when everything and nothing works, it ‘s time to practice tantra.

When everything has failed you, when it seems that none of the paths are good⎯which they are, but it doesn't seem that way at the time⎯what does one do? When you've seen all the best movies in town, you've tried all the best people in the neighborhood, you've pushed yourself through a mirage of sexual experiences, creative experiences, work experiences, love experiences, drug experiences, whatever it may be. You've tried everything and still come away with a feeling of emptiness, but not the higher emptiness. Loneliness. Sadness. A feeling that is accentuated by the knowledge of what could be.

Man muss immer umkeren

The main reason people fail is they become attached to others who hold them back. Letting go of others and going forward may seem like a lonely and impossible task, but I assure you it is not.
