"Tantra values interest. Yoga values intending and establishes it as its sixth step as Dharana." - I proceeded further.
"Do you ever need to intend if you are really interested in a thing to do?" - Eva went meditative.
"I salute thee." - I halted and performed the full army action of salute.
She started laughing - "Why?"
"This is what my objection to intending being the fifth important step as Dharana to fathoming the depth of existence is, too. You can never go deeply absorbed into a thing if you need intending to do it." - I said.
"Yes, you never intend to eat when you are hungry. You just eat because you go instinctively interested into it." - She was quite clear about all this already.
"And you don't need taking a decision to do something if you are really passionate about doing it. That is what imparts spontaneity to our actions, which yoga tries to achieve through artificial means via a circuitous route that in fact goes 180 degrees opposite to the basic spirit of inquisition." - I added further.
"Of course, I could never concentrate on the subjects that I was not interested in during my school life, and the ones I was interested in never demanded my concentration ever." - She remembered her past.
"So tantra never emphasizes on concentration or on forcing attention on any damn thing of so called value but only on being interested in whatever you are, whether value or no value; and proceeds along it with all the energy of interest that you have for it, into it." - I intently looked at her face.
"Like we are... interested in each other with all our passion right now, is it?" - She came as close to me as only her interest to play the game of life with her full passion could have brought her to!
