Summary:
Adi Da talks about doing practice as a seeker vs. practice as a lover, a non-separate participant. Sadhana is not about separating out from life (including emotional-sexual relationships), but rather fully engaging it in its mystery and its fully polarized play. The "men's tent" and "women's tent" are only places to consider the play, not places to live apart from (or escape) the play. The loved one may change form as practice evolves, but the primary form of participation in it remains being a lover. [Note: In this 1976 clip, Adi Da uses the word, "faggot" in its original, traditional sense of "dry branch or twig": "Swamiism, asceticism . . . that's for faggots, dried up bones of men and women." — to be distinguished from the pejorative, homophobic use of that word that most people think of today when they hear the word.]
