Tantra Quotes; The Path to Ecstasy

Tantra’s body-positive approach is the direct outcome of its integrative metaphysics according to which this world is not mere illusion but a manifestation of the supreme Reality.  If the world is real, the body must be real as well. 

If the world is in essence divine, so must be the body.  If we must honour the world as a creation of an aspect of the divine Power (shakti), we must likewise honour the body. 

The body is a piece of the world and, as we shall see, the world is a piece of the body.  Or, rather, when we truly understand the body, we discover that it is the world, which is in essence divine.
