Adi Da describes how the processes of listening, self-discipline, and hearing (the capability that enables fundamental responsibility for the self-contraction) develop in His Company.

The complete details of the levels of practice in the Way of Adidam can be found in Adi Da's Dawn Horse Testament.

Beginners' Practicevideo

Adi Da speaks about the beginning of spiritual practice in the Guru's company. He describes the beginners' tendency to equate the practice with "meditating" on the Guru and techniques that focus attention on Him. But this view is a beginner's error. The practitioner must also engage the full range of functional disciplines as part of the relationship to the Guru.

Adi Da compassionately explains the function of discipline in a variety of ways. Disciplines in the Way of Adidam are intended to be enacted in the context of recognition of and response to the Divine. God cannot be Realized without self being transcended. Disciplines are for the purpose of self-transcendence or the transcendence of the limit that is the self-contraction. "To realize That which transcends limit requires the discipline of limit."

Adi Da speaks about how the disciplines in the Way of Adidam for observing and transcending the egoic patterning of the body-mind should be based not on idealism but on self-understanding and the impulse to self-transcending God-Realization. Right discipline is not anti-relational or "righteous". It is associated with (and an expression of) devotion and the radiant disposition of Love-Bliss in His Company, not the self-contraction.
