In this clip, "Acércate a Mí desde el Corazón" ("Approach Me from the Heart"), Adi Da speaks to devotees in the Manner Of Flowers (at the Mountain Of Attention), during the "Love of the God-Man" Celebration on March 8, 1984. Adi Da talks about praise speech, ecstasy, and Satsang.
Some of the questions Adi Da addresses in the full talk are: What is a Divine experience? Who is God that God could be identified over against anything whatsoever? Who is a Spiritual Master if He can find Himself apart from God, such that He could say: “This piece is Me and this piece is God”? How could such distinctions continue in the consciousness of one who has Realized the Divine?

In the early months of 1985, Avatar Adi Da was residing at His Hermitage-Island in Fiji, working intensively to complete the first edition of His Supreme Scriptural Text, The Dawn Horse Testament. Avatar Adi Da began this occasion by reciting a newly written essay, which He subsequently added to The Dawn Horse Testament — and then spoke at length about the import of the essay.
In this Discourse, Avatar Adi Da invites everyone to consider the implications of the common understanding that everything — all that you see, hear, breathe, taste, smell, feel — is energy, or light. Rather than suggesting yet another method of seeking within the infinite forms of experienced light, Avatar Adi Da Offers (and Is) the direct Transmission of Light — which Reveals Itself to be the Self-Radiant Bliss of Consciousness Itself.
ADI DA: The most intimate presumption, the real presumption — that all this is Light — should be sufficient to make your hair stand on end. Real Communion with Light, or True Baptism — founded on “self” understanding — produces ecstasy, profound transformation of the being, liberates you from all of your egoic psychology.

"Oletko oppinut tuntemaan täydellisesti?" ("Have You Learned To Feel Perfectly?") is an excerpt from the longer talk, "The Fire Must Have Its Way". The full talk is available on the DVD, The Fire Must Have Its Way, on which this is track 1. It is also available as a CD. The talk also appears in written form in the book, My "Bright" Sight and online here.
The bottom line: If you want to feel good, you have to learn how to feel good!
ADI DA: Jotenkin, kaiken tämän keskellä, tajuat että kaikki voisi tuntua paljon paremmalta. Voisit tuntea olevasi täysin autuas. Voisit rakastaa ehdottomasti, voisit olla ehdottoman vapaa. Mutta tämä näyttää tavallisen olotilasti vastakohdalta. Olet riippuvainen kaikenlaisista reaktiivisista tunteista, matalista energiatasoista, huomion pakkomielteistä, psyko-fyysisistä tukkeutumista, olet riippuvainen kaikesta tästä, sinulla on miljoona, lukematon määrä ohjelmia, jotka ovat vähemmän kuin rakkaus, joista olet riippuvainen. Mieli on kiinnittynyt halun ja huomion ohjelmistoon. Ja jokaisella ohjelmalla on omat kohteensa joka hetkessä. Mieli pyrkii kohti yhtä tai toista kohdetta, huomiosi liikkuu kohti yhtä tai toisenlaista kohdetta. Se, miltä sinusta tuntuu joka hetkellä, on ilmaisu siitä mielen ohjelmasta, johon olet siinä kohtaa lukittuna.
Mitä olet koko elämäsi aikana oppinut? Oletko oppinut tuntemaan täydellisesti? Tuntemaan täysin? Jouduitko käymään läpi opintokauden,\Njossa opit tuntemaan äärettömiin, ehdottomaan Jumalaisuuteen asti? Ei - opit elämän kaikki reaktiokuviot, kaiken tavanomaisen halun. Ja tunsit ne ennen kuin tutustuit niihin uudellen tässä vartalossa. Eli itselläsi ei voi olla parempaa\Noloa kuin itselläsi voi olla. Ja olet riippuvainen tuntemaan itsesi vähempänä kuin rakkaus, ollaksesti vähemmän kuin ekstaasi.
ADI DA: Somehow in the midst of this round of existence you realize that you can feel a lot better than you now feel, that you can feel absolutely blissful, that you can love absolutely, that you can be absolutely free. But feeling blissful stands in contrast to your common state. You are addicted to reactive emotion, low levels of energy, gross fixations of attention, psycho-physical obstruction. You are addicted to countless programs that are less than love. In every moment your attention is moving toward one or another object, and your feeling in every moment is an expression of the program of mind into which you are locked in that moment.
Now, what have you learned in your whole life? Have you learned to feel perfectly? To feel absolutely? Did you ever go through a period of study in which you learned to feel to Infinity, to feel Absolute Divinity? No, you learned all the reactive patterns of life, all the desires for ordinary things. You knew them even before you became familiar with them again in this body. You cannot feel any better than you can feel, and you are addicted to feeling less than love, to being less than ecstasy.

ADI DA: Jakoś w tym wszystkim zdajesz sobie sprawę, że możesz czuć się dużo lepiej. Możesz czuć się absolutnie błogo. Możesz kochać absolutnie. Możesz być całkowicie wolny. Ale to stoi w sprzeczności z twoim wspólnym stanem. Widzicie, jesteście uzależnieni od wszelkiego rodzaju reaktywnych emocji, niskiego poziomu energii, fiksacji uwagi, przeszkód psychofizycznych. Jesteś uzależniony od tego wszystkiego. Masz milion, niezliczoną liczbę programów, które są mniej niż miłością, do których jesteś uzależniony. Umysł jest przymocowany do programów pożądania, uwagi. Każdy z tych programów ma swoje obiekty iw każdej chwili umysł dąży do jednego lub innego rodzaju obiektu. Twoja uwaga porusza się w kierunku jednego lub innego rodzaju obiektu. Twoje uczucie w każdej chwili jest wyrazem programu umysłu, w którym jesteś zamknięty w tej chwili.
Czego nauczyłeś się przez całe życie? Czy nauczyłeś się czuć się doskonale, czuć się absolutnie? Czy kiedykolwiek przechodziłeś przez okres nauki, w którym nauczyłeś się czuć do Nieskończoności, czuć Absolutną Boskość? Zobaczysz. Nie, nauczyliście się wszystkich wzorców reakcji życia, wszystkich pragnień zwykłych rzeczy, widzicie. A ty ich znałeś, zanim ponownie zapoznałeś się z nimi w tym ciele. Więc nie możesz czuć się lepiej niż możesz się czuć. I jesteś uzależniony od mniej niż miłości, bycia mniej niż ekstazą.

This clip is an excerpt from Adi Da's talk, "The Fire Must Have Its Way", which was given on July 17, 1978. In this talk, Adi Da clarifies that real Spiritual practice is not about "feeling good", but an intense purification of all limits on feeling. This fire of purification occurs by coming into contact with the Pure Radiance of the Spiritual Master. By persistently granting feeling-attention to Avatar Adi Da’s Living Divine Presence, all ego-patterns are "burned up" by His Grace—ultimately enabling egoless participation in the Perfect Ecstasy of Real God.
An additional (videoed) excerpt from this talk is available here.
Audio excerpt from Adi Da's talk, "Sex, Laughter, and Real-God-Realization" (now available on CD).
Sexuality, humor, and Awakening to the Divine Condition are three forms of ecstasy, or unbounded feeling, that disrupt the conventional sense of “order” in society. Pleasure undoes the body. Humor undoes the mind. And Realization undoes the sense of “self”. The Fullness of Real-God-Realization Comprehends and Transcends the limitations of social norms, spiritual presumptions, and self-identification, granting the capability of Real Happiness and True Freedom.
