Spiritual Recognition of Adi Da > There Is Only His Room

There Is Only His Room

Daniela Morena

Daniela Morena has been a devotee of Adi Da since 1986. After living on four continents and moving home 24 times, Daniela, her partner and their two cats made their forever home in the South of Tenerife (Spain). Except that they are moving again, next year. . . The one constant in their life? Their love for Avatar Adi Da.

I was in a little AirBnB near the airport of Lisbon, in Portugal. I had spent the day there, with some devotees, and then I went to bed. At about 3am, I partly woke up, feeling that I could see, from where I was lying in bed, Bhagavan Adi Da's Holy Padukas somewhere in the distance. And I could feel His Presence in the same place.

Suddenly, the perspective changed. Bhagavan's Padukas were now in another direction, but still just as obviously Emanating His Presence. After a few more similar changes, I realised I was now fully awake — and I could see and feel His Sacred Padukas in every direction.

In my waking vision, the middle station of the heart seemed to be coming into view and palpitating. It felt like a poached egg, vulnerable, open and so very alive, almost floating above the middle of my chest.

It felt like the gateway to an overwhelming feeling of blissful devotion to Bhagavan.

Suddenly, the realisation came that Bhagavan is Descending in Portugal — of all places — with great Intention and Power! It felt mysterious, and quite humourous: Portugal? Really?? Why not Italy, after all those Divine Image-Art exhibitions in Italy??

But then I thought of Rossella and Dan and Mafalda, and the other devotees I had met that day, all of whom had a heart response to Bhagavan. And I felt they are true devotees, and Beloved is Responding to their devotion. They felt like a single, strong heart, beating in that country. I felt love for them.

But now Bhagavan was Descending from above into my body like crystal, Watery Light, a powerful, endless, Bright waterfall of Joy.

Then He Appeared as a Bright, golden Mist spreading out from the background, and pervading all apparent objects and people.

It felt beautiful, conscious, unstoppable and powerful. The ecstatic feeling in and around the body intensified even more.

Finally, all these Forms of His Transmission became a single, Bright White, Divine Light coming down.

The sudden realisation came that He was everywhere, not just descending on Portugal, but everywhere absolutely.

His Divine Conscious Light was both Descending and Shining through everything in the conditional worlds, Outshining all boundaries among these apparent different bodies and objects, till they would become blurred and then vanish.

There was only Light and Joy, and That was Bhagavan. It was all His Room, because there Is only His Room — that much was obvious.

My arms had opened wide, in the beholding position. The heart was totally exposed and vulnerable. Tears kept flowing freely.

Overwhelmed with gratitude and awe and love for Him, i was calling out His Name, asking please make use of me, because all I want is to serve You, please make this body-mind worthy of receiving Your Descent.

I marvelled at how He had been both a physical Person and, at the same time, this awesome, immense Process of Descent and Outshining. At how He had Submitted His body to the very same Process that He is Doing universally.

His inevitable Victory became obvious, because it was absolutely clear that He will not stop!

Words of gratitude were pouring out, for this extraordinary Grace of Liberation from all limitation and suffering, from the deluding presumption that i am this mortal body-mind. Instead we all are — everything is — always and only in His Room of limitless Prior Unity.

I vaguely realised that time was passing and my alarm would be ringing soon, but I did not care, only Bhagavan mattered.

I was drenched with tears and wall-to-wall snot and could hardly breathe. But then I thought, humorously, that everything is Divine Light anyway, so my snot must be Light too!

The experience receded. Exhausted, I fell into a deep sleep, and soon after, the alarm rang.
