Question: Why must one enter Highest Yoga Tantra?
Arya Nagarjuna: The reason why one MUST enter the path of Highest
Yoga Tantra in order
to achieve the State of a Buddha is that until the instincts of the
misconception of the dualistic
appearance of the states of Appearance, Increase, and Near-attainment
have been removed
forever one will not achieve Buddhahood.
The way to purify those instincts of the misconception of dualistic
appearance forever so that
they do not arise again is to meditate on the direct realization of
Emptiness by the spontaneously
generated Great Bliss. Such a realization is found only in the
Highest Yoga Tantra Vehicle
but not in other vehicles. Until one actualizes the Meaning Clear
Light that integrates Bliss
and Emptiness and meditates on it, the obstructions to omniscient knowledge
cannot be
abandoned completely and therefore the Truth Body will not be attained.
Similarly until
the Illusory Body has been accomplished from the Winds and Mind purified
by the
Meaning Clear Light, the Form Body will not be achieved. Therefore,
integrating
Bliss and Emptiness and accomplishing an Illusory Body are the exclusive
causes of
the "Similar-type" required for the Truth and Form Bodies respectively,
and are
the innermost essence of the Highest Yoga Tantra.
