Read this post to find out the most sublime answer to a spiritual question ever given.
The Nature of Reality
Why Yoga Doesn't Work . . . and Why it Does (Tantrasaara Chapter Four, Part 2)
In this section of his most accessible work, The Essence of the Tantras, Abhinavagupta makes a compelling — and controversial — argument that none of the practices of Yoga contribute to the possibility of abiding awakeness or final liberation except insofar as they contribute to discernment and insight, for only accurate insight into the nature of reality liberates. This nuanced and careful argument is a must-read for all Tantrik Yogis!
