"...[O]ne more meaning sometimes given to tantra is ‘the fulfillment of touch,’ which is equally interesting and subtle. It suggests the spiritual fulfillment that comes from contact with Divine Consciousness through ‘touch’ — literally the ‘touch’ of grace. Touch or ‘sparsa’ is a commonly used metaphor for grace; through touch, we are two yet one in the experience of touching and of being touched. . . For Tantra, liberation is not an ending, nor a separation; it is fulfillment."
