What Tantra means. Tantra is not a moral concept. It is neither moral nor science. Your moralities and concepts concerning moral behaviour are irrelevant for Tantra. Tantra is not concerned with how one should behave, it is not concern with ideals. It is concerned basically with what is, with what you are. This distinction has to be understood deeply.
Morality is concerned with ideals - how you should be, what you should be. Therefore, morality is basically condemning. You are never the ideal so you are condemned. Every morality is guilt - creating. You can never ideal, you are always lagging behind. The gap will also be there because the ideal is the impossible, and through morality it becomes more impossible. The ideal is there in the future, and you are here as you are, and you go on comparing. You are never the perfect man, something is always lacking. Then you feel guilt, you feel a self condemnation.
One thing, tantra is against self condemnation because condemnation can never transform you. condemnation can only create hypocrisy than you try to pretend, to show, that you are what you are not. Hypocrisy means you are the real man, not the ideal man, but you pretend, you try to show, that you are the ideal man. Then you have a split within you, you have a false face. the unreal man is born and tantra is basically a search for the real man, not for the unreal man.
Of necessity, every morality creates hypocrisy. It will do so inevitably. Hypocrisy will remain with morality. It is part of it - the shadow. This will look paradoxical because moralist are the men who condemned hypocrisy the most, and then are the creators of it. And hypocrisy cannot disappear from the earth unless morality disappears. They both exist together. They are two aspects of the same coin. Morality gives you the ideal and you are not the ideal that is why the ideal is given to you. Then you start feeling that you are wrong, and that this wrongness is nature, it is given to you, you are born with it, and you cannot immediately do anything about it. You cannot transform it, it is not so easy you can only suppress it, that is easy.
There are two things you can do. You can create a false face, you can pretend to be something you are not. That saves you. Then you can move more easily in the society - more conveniently. And inwardly you have to suppress the real because the unreal can be imposed only if the real is suppressed. So your reality goes on moving downward into the unconscious and your unreality becomes your conscious. Your unreal part become more dominant and the real recedes back. You are divided, and the more you try to pretend the greater will be the gap.
