What is the essence of tantra? Here’s a short and sweet answer.
A: Everyone wants happiness. Two things make us unhappy: Not getting what we Desire, and getting what we Fear. If our desire is fake, we need to be protected from manifesting it.

The conventional spiritual way is to transcend desires and fears and thereby reduce the chances of unhappiness.

And through the process of transcending one is supposed to get to a state of unconditional happiness (bliss) which comes through the realization that we ARE bliss and there is no need to seek it.

The tantric way, on the other hand, is to get the power to get what we desire and be protected from what we fear. The tantric power is not some kind of magic that we evoke with mantras.

It comes through a process of serious spiritual saadhana that also ultimately leads to the realization of our true powerful nature.
However desire is the driving force for sadhana and not something to be shunned or overcome.

In Tantric sadhana we uninhibitedly go to Devi with our desires, seek her help with mantras and poojas - in this process many things happen.

Often the desires get fulfilled which makes our love for Devi grow. Sometimes they don't get fulfilled, but as we go on with sadhana we realize that they are "fake" desires, camouflages for real deeper desires; then as we gain clarity into our real desires they get fulfilled.
Meanwhile the tantric rituals and mantras keep instilling into us the ultimate truth of who we really are - Devi herself.

Without sadhana desire is truly the cause of all suffering. Without the light of DevI, we blindly grope around to fulfill our desires, hurt others and get hurt by others.

We get so clouded by our powerlessness and frustrations that we forget our real desires and substitute them with easy fakes, We feel guilty about our desires and try to hide them even from ourselves.

Tantra brings desires out of darkness into God's light and fulfills them thereby fulfilling the purpose of our life in this form.
