The original Sanskrit of the Bhairava Tantra has a mantric quality that massages and thrills the nerves like music. Like no other language I have ever heard, Sanskrit is a song of the union of opposites. The opposites embrace each other, as lovers do, as the eternally fascinating polarity of male and female, day and night, sun and moon. Tantric meditation is an integration of the opposites, not obliteration or mere transcendence of them.
