Adidam Ruchiradam — As It Truly Is — Is the Proclamation to all beings of the Breakthrough of the Divine "Bright" Spherical Self-Domain into the cosmic domain.

I have Already Connected with every one. I Am Already Coincident with every one. . . I Am Doing the Same Work now That I Will Do forever — even when I am no longer physically Embodied here.

DEVOTEE: Master, when will you be satisfied?

ADI DA [smiling]: When you all glow in the dark!

Real life is obsession with That which is Beyond life, That Which is, miraculously, somehow Shown in life but Which moves you beyond it. . . . I am just the Divine One, just the Living One, Showing Itself here. I am just this Shakti, this Form, this Divine Sign. Be obsessed! Be governed by this Vision. That and nothing else, is devotion to Me. . . . You must become Mad with this devotion. Everything is purified by it. It is the one Great Principle of existence. All I am doing in this conversation with you tonight is Giving you permission to do so. You will do what you will.

The entire Way of Truth is immensely difficult and creative. The entire Way is a Sacrifice. The Way of Truth is the only matter of ultimate significance in the life of Man. Let us yield our very bodies and minds into the Reality and Destiny that is both Spirit and Truth.

DEVOTEE: It seems that we are born with three strikes against us.

ADI DA: Yes. That is why you have to get smart down here! A living being arising in the midst of life is automatically the reaction to the preceding action, which is life itself. It is entirely a natural mechanism. If reaction is the only principle of life, it realizes only death. The automatic tendency of organic life is to contract—to become more and more solid, to the point of lifelessness. Whatever is alive begins to die from the moment it makes its appearance. And there are more than three strikes against you. You are already “out”—already, before the strikes.

I have no taste for the usual life. Not that I cannot enjoy some of the qualities of life, but I simply have no taste for this entire affair of suffering and compulsive existence. I see perfectly well what it depends on. I would not choose, on the merits of the experience itself, ever to be born in this human condition again. There is no advantage in it. It does not gain anything. It is just a period of time in which to understand. Apart from that, it has no ultimate value. It never becomes anything more than that.

Human life is not particularly delightful. It is an endless concern, from birth until death. Every minute is suffering of the limited state, or an attempt to break out of it through various kinds of activity, trying to find the answer. From the first moment of born awareness, this life is a question. It seems absurd to be actually existing and, yet, not know what actually existing is, and to spend the entire period of actually existing trying to discover what actually existing is!

This is an insane condition! It is a compulsive tour of unconscious activity—for the most part. If Truth begins to Manifest in life, as life, then It Glorifies life to some degree. But the Glory that Enters life is not that of life itself. It is the Glory of the Fullness of Truth—Which is Manifested as life, Whose modifications are life. The more the life of Truth grows, the more taste for Truth you acquire—not for life apart from (or other than) Truth. When Truth is Most Perfectly Enjoyed, life becomes secondary—perhaps profound, but unnecessary. Your “death” in Truth should precede your physical death by at least a few moments! Otherwise, the tendency to regain this same condition is automatically there.

The Condition That Is Truth is far superior to the limitation that is conditionally manifested existence. Those who live Truth while alive are not glorifying life in and of itself. They are glorifying Truth. When you Enjoy Truth, you are already Free. And if you are Free, what does all of this compulsive limitation have to do with you? If you are Free, you simply live Truth until the moment of death—and beyond.

To be Divinely Outshined in Truth is the ultimate destiny of all who resort to Me most profoundly. I already Know Who you Are. I am already Living with you in another sense—as Real Life, as Love, as Truth. I Know that there is far more to reality than mere physical existence. I look forward to your Most Perfect Divine Enlightenment. But I see that those who are living in the Earth plane are not clear about all of this, not certain of it—rather confused. So I Communicate Truth in as many forms as I can. My Single Impulse is to Relieve you of your presumed life of separateness, to draw you out of darkness into Light.
