poster: delphiyes
length: 26:49
date added: October 11, 2012
event date: September 18, 2004
Adi Da Samraj takes a devotee through a consideration about death. He points out that ultimately all fear is a form of the fear of death, a condition which is inherently associated with identification with the body-mind. He then speaks of the transcendence of the body-mind and the fear-free State in which He abides and Which He offers to all.

Ego as Processvideo
poster: TheBeezone
length: 00:35
date added: October 6, 2012
event date: 1972
Adi Da describes the ego as a process or action, and our suffering as the result of that action ("pinching oneself"). Therefore, merely analyzing the "I" thought (for example) is not sufficient for self-transcendence. Transcendence of the act that is ego is a matter of counter-egoic behavior.

Discipline: The Mechanism of Self-Transcendencevideo
poster: delphiyes
length: 08:08
date added: October 6, 2012
event date: 1989
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."

Lay It At My Feetvideo
poster: delphiyes
length: 21:21
date added: October 6, 2012
event date: 1975
Adi Da explains the process of purification and sadhana, and what He expects of His devotees. He describes how the disciplines expose (by offending) one's egoity and childishness, and are purposed "to test you to the point of consciousness and responsibility."

This talk can be heard on the audiocassette, The Gift Of Discipline.

Questions are the Problem!video
poster: delphiyes
length: 04:42
date added: September 30, 2012
In response to a devotee's question Adi Da serves her (and all) by pointing out that to ask a question in the first place is to already be in the position of dilemma and thus separation from the Divine Reality Itself.

The Return to the Guruvideo
poster: delphiyes
length: 14:38
date added: September 30, 2012
Adi Da Samraj speaks about the return to the Guru through sacrifice and how one's state of feeling (ie - feeling blissful) is not the sign to look for in sadhana. He also speaks about the responsibility for the bodily and mind processes that are required in sadhana.

[Starting around 8:50, the video clip breaks up, the quality gets degraded, and there is some repetition in the clip. The clip returns to normal quality around 10:10.]

Real Questions?video
poster: delphiyes
speaker: Matt Spence
length: 26:15
date added: September 28, 2012
event date: 1987

Commitment to God-Realizationvideo
poster: delphiyes
length: 10:31
date added: September 28, 2012
Adi Da Samraj speaks about the obligation inherent in the process of God-Realization. One naturally dedicates one's entire life to God-Realization, in response to the Realizer's gift of the Way of God-Realization. "If that Revelation [of God] is made clear in this moment, then make a solemn, eternal vow of absolute commitment to God-Realization, and commit yourself to do whatever is necessary for the sake of God-Realization. Devote this life to it, devote whatever time and space appear entirely to God-Realization."

The Five Declarations: Epiloguevideo
part 7 of The Five Declarations of Ultimate Knowledge

poster: TheBeezone
length: 02:47
date added: September 21, 2012
event date: January 6, 2006
Part of an Avataric Revelation Discourse given at the Mountain of Attention Sanctuary, later published in Reality Is All The God There Is.

Adi Da offers His unique renderings of the Dharma of the great sages of Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism, including Gotama Sakyamuni, Nagarjuna, Shankara, and Ribhu. Rather than simply translate their teachings from available source texts, Avatar Adi Da respeaks them as one who has personally realized their truth. He reveals that the Buddhist “Nirvana” and the Advaitic “Brahman” point to the same Transcendental Condition. Avatar Adi Da’s rendering restores to these texts the profundity intended by the Spiritual Masters who created them.
