Divine Utterances:
Religion




This page includes a small selection from the many Divine Utterances (which Adi Da sometimes humorously called "Holy Mutterances") that Adi Da spoke or wrote from 1972 to 2008, on the topic of Religion. For more on Adi Da's Divine Utterances, click here.



So there are not a lot of ways to be "Saved"! There is only one way to be "Saved" — and that is to love the Divine ecstatically, to the point of egolessly Perfect Distraction.

"Perfect Distraction"
Part 9, The Aletheon

tags:   Enlightenment,   Religion,   Way of Adidam



All religions are historical forms of the Single and Ancient Way of Distracted love for the Divine Person, especially as Revealed in the Life and in the Company and in the Person of Incarnate Adepts in their various degrees and stages of Realization. This is the Great Secret.

If we are truly serious about the matter of religion and spiritual practice, we must also be consistently self-critical. Religion and spirituality without self-criticism are merely forms of self-protecting enthusiasm, founded on uninspected fear.

The only true religion is the religion that Realizes Truth. The only true science is the science that Knows Truth. The only true man or woman (or being of any kind) is the one that Surrenders to Truth.

"Do Not Misunderstand Me"
My "Bright" Word

Though there are many historical traditions of religion and Spirituality, in Truth, there is one Great Tradition. . . . The Great Tradition of humankind is a universal tradition, because it is based on the One Reality — not only the Great, Indivisible Non-conditional Reality, but also the unity of conditional existence and the commonality and unity of human beings themselves.

The Ancient Walk-About Way (September 8, 2004)

Let the heart speak the Wisdom of the Unity of body, mind, world, and God:
There is neither one God nor many Gods.
There is only God.
All of the one and many Gods are Idols of the One that is God.

Part IV: The Truth of Our Existence Is Love, Compulsory Dancing

tags:   God,   Heart,   Religion



If you really examine the characteristics of conditional Nature (or phenomenal existence), there is no justification for believing in the Parental Deity at all. It is simply not true to the facts of existence altogether that there is a Great Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent Being making everything happen. . . It is simply not so.
