What is Tantra's attitude towards modern life's tensions and exertions?

The source of tension lies not in modernity, but in the restless mind; true transformation begins within, for when consciousness shifts, the grip of the outer world loosens.

— Osho
According to Osho, Tantra doesn't blame modernity for tension; it points to the restless mind as the source. Objects and settings change, but the "driver" remains. Instead of escaping cities or idealizing villages, Tantra asks you to look within, see the world as your mirror, and transform consciousness. When the inner mind changes, outer pressures lose their grip; without inner change, no environment will help.

It's not the noisy city that upsets you—it's your own mind; calm that, and anywhere feels okay.
