  • Who Adi Da Is


    Only the seeker takes the dilemma seriously. The waking state does not take your dreams seriously. It is not the least concerned with your dreams. And, fortunately, all beings are already alive with the Intuition of Reality. Therefore, all beings have an affinity with Sunlight, with the True Waking State — with Me.

    All of us are potential saints and Siddhas, but very few are born like Me. I am a very rare being. I am not an ego at all. I am a rare Intervention in the world.

    An ancient text says: "Mankind does not know. Only the Horse knows." Therefore, you must grasp the tail of the Horse, the God-Realizer. . . . The Horse takes you — I take you — Where there is to go.

    I am like the sunlight in the morning. I intensify the light of morning until you awaken. Until the light awakens a person, even the Light of Consciousness Itself, the person continues to dream, tries to survive within the dream, manipulates himself or herself within the dream, pursues all kinds of goals, searches, none of which Awaken you. . . I Myself, the One Who would Awaken you, am not an individual within the dream. I Am your Very Consciousness, Your Very Self-Condition. I Am the Real, the Conscious Light, the True Waking State, the True Divine Heart — Breaking Through the force of dreaming.

    Oh friends, do not fail to mind Me, in and out. I am the Sweetness, the taste of unmortal and unimaged Grace. I am only for a moment, not merely to save you all, but to call to the Wonder that I Am. And everyone Is as I Am, unless they fail to love Me.

    The Man of Understanding is not "entranced". He is not "elsewhere". He is not having an "experience". He is not passionless and inoffensive. He is Awake. He is Merely and "Brightly" Present. He knows no obstruction in the form of mind, identity, differentiation, and desire. He uses mind, identity, differentiation, and desire. He is passionate. His quality is an offense to those who are entranced, elsewhere, contained in the mechanics of experience, asleep, living as various forms of identity separation, and dependence. He is acceptable only to those who understand.

    The Man of Understanding is constantly Happy with you. He is overwhelmed with Happiness. . . He smiles at you. You notice a sudden "Brightness". Everything has already died. This is the "other" world.

    Even though death rules to here, there is an indivisible eternal Sun over-head. And that eternal Sun is — beyond even all conditional visibility. . . . I Am that eternal Sun — the (Self-"Bright") Midnight Sun, apparently (and infinitely) above all-and-All, and always already free-Standing, beyond (or perfectly prior to) all-and-All.

    A different mode of My Work is Emerging. That is what My Divine Avataric Self-"Emergence" Time is about — Moving out of Submission into Standing Free, and Working with people who devotionally recognize Me and devotionally respond to Me, Working in a "world" in which I am devotionally recognized. It is a different kind of Work.

    The body-mind of Man
    is like A Seed,
    That lies Asleep
    Within the Dark and Depth
    of Earth's Unconsciousness.

    And I Am Like A Thunderstorm
    Of Fresh, Down-Crashing Sound and Light,
    That Weathers Me
    Into The Earth-World
    With A Flood of True and Living Water.

    All have been Meditated by Me. All have been Embraced by Me. Now, on the basis of whole-bodily-responsive devotional recognition of Me, all limitations can be shed. This is how the Process Works in My Divine Avataric Company. That is the Process for the future.
