Wonderstand (Aphorisms - The Dot and the Dots)

"Sohan Qadri's aphorisms are in line with the tantric tradition of India. Sohan's guru was a tantric, whom he met as a child. He grew up in that tradition in a small village in Punjab. The word tantra originally means to expand and through that expansion to liberate. When you expand your consciousness there can be no limitations such as taste or judgement. Everything there is, is part of the experience and part of you. The poems of Sohan Qadri show us that "dot" of consciousness, bindu, which is present everywhere, without discrimination, in every thing and every one - you realize your self through anything...the dot is placed everywhere, between the lips of lovers, in the northern lights, among the galaxies, and yet we remain right here. I am a dot in the orgastic ecstasy so spiritual and so mundane at once I am a dot in the full, emptying itself, in the void, filling itself. But you don't have to know the secrets of Tantra to experience his poems - they will inspire you and convey its universal message anyway." Swami Janakananda.
