    Hindu mystic that Osho talks about in
    this book:

    Shiva

         DEVI ASKS:

    OH SHIVA, WHAT IS YOUR REALITY?

    WHAT IS THIS WONDER-FILLED UNIVERSE?

    WHAT CONSTITUTES SEED?

    WHO CENTERS THE UNIVERSAL WHEEL?

    WHAT IS THIS LIFE BEYOND FORM
    PERVADING FORMS?

    HOW MAY WE ENTER IT FULLY, ABOVE
    SPACE AND TIME, NAMES AND
    DESCRIPTIONS?

    LET MY DOUBTS BE CLEARED!


    Some introductory points. First, the world of
    VIGYANA BHAIRAVA TANTRA is not
    intellectual, it is not philosophical.

    Doctrine is meaningless to it. It is concerned
    with method, with technique -- not with
    principles at all. The word `tantra' means
    technique, the method, the path. So it is not
    philosophical -- note this. It is not concerned
    with intellectual problems and inquiries. It is
    not concerned with the "why" of things, it is
    concerned with "how"; not with what is truth,
    but how the truth can be attained.

    TANTRA means technique. So this treatise is
    a scientific one. Science is not concerned
    with why, science is concerned with how.
    That is the basic difference between
    philosophy and science. Philosophy asks,
    "Why this existence?" Science asks, "How
    this existence?" The moment you ask the
    question, how?, method, technique, become
    important. Theories become meaningless;
    experience becomes the center.

    Tantra is science, tantra is not philosophy...
