notes and books. She flipped through it quickly, then gaveit back."The Chinese yogi is an impostor. This is not theVijnanabhairava Tantra. But you haven't answered me.What do you know about Tantrism?""I assume that in Tantrism there is a practice that leadsto entering into harmony with one's own heart and discoveringShiva there.""Tantrism contains none of this kind of sentimentalism.""And the sexual practices, do they exist?""If there were sexual practices in Tantrism, how could Idevote myself to it, since I've lived alone for sixteen years?""Perhaps by transcending them?""There is nothing to transcend in Tantrism."Suddenly, my mind stopped wandering. I felt myselfmelting under her regard, and tears came to my eyes."I would like to follow your teaching.""Your emotions don't concern me. You have an idea ofwhat it is you're looking for. How can you find it? I cangive you nothing. Return to the valley."I took leave of the yogini in a state of intense emotion,stripped naked by her look. I picked up my pack and took afew steps backward. As I was turning around she spoke tome in a gentler voice, with an indescribable smile."You are like a hunchback in the country. You imaginethat by leaving the town, no one will see your hump. Forgethow others regard you and truly consider your hump.It is the most precious thing you have."On my way back down to the village, I was torn betweenthe impression of complete failure and the hope of apossible opening.37
When Ram saw me arrive, he understood immediately thatsomething had taken place. Also, he greeted me, laughing:"You walk like an old man!"I straightened up, drank a few cups of tea, and gave himan account of my adventure, savoring the delicious potatofritters with curry and mustard seeds that his mother hadprepared for us.I spent the days that followed caressing my hump andrealized that I could only present myself before the yoginicompletely naked, without desires and without goals.Each morning, I made offerings to the Shiva linga foundat the foot of the banyan, hoping that this stone phalluswould end up embedding itself in my heart and open it tothe dimensions of space.38
