Divine Utterances:
Nature of Reality




This page includes a small selection from the many Divine Utterances (which Adi Da sometimes humorously called "Holy Mutterances") that Adi Da spoke or wrote from 1972 to 2008, on the topic of Nature of Reality. For more on Adi Da's Divine Utterances, click here.



All There Is Is Light. All There Is Is Undifferentiated "Brightness". All the rest is just a lot of trouble.

If you would have your life not be about bondage, Reality Itself must Transform your life.

All beings are always already Happy.

"The Bodily Location of Happiness" (November 28, 1981)

There is a State of Being that is completely, unequivocally, permanently, infinitely Happy and Free — a State that cannot be lost under any conditions, in this world or after death. Such a State is not imaginary. It is the underlying Truth of existence.

Your Real Situation Is Non-egoic.

tags:   Egoity,   Nature of Reality





The Unconditional Reality Is Modified (but Only Apparently) As The conditional Reality. This Must Be Realized. Until This Truth Is Realized, all conditional experience Is A School With A Single Lesson. This Is The Lesson (The Lesson Of Life): "I" Cannot Become Happy. "I" Can Only Be Happy.

There is Only Light. Light Is All There Is. All That Is Is Light. . . Light, or God, Is The Literal or Inherent Condition, Substance, Reality, Quality, and Destiny Of all conditional worlds, forms, and beings.

To seek Truth is to deny Truth to begin with. To seek Truth is to avoid Truth, constantly. To seek Reality (Itself) is to deny Reality (Itself). To seek Reality (Itself) is to avoid Reality (Itself), by seeking It.

Part One, Da Love-Ananda Gita

Unless they are specifically prevented from doing so, all systems will spontaneously righten themselves. The universe is a self-organizing, self-correcting, and self-rightening process.

What appears to be matter is a mode of energy. And if you get close enough to it, you find it to be energy. If you get more of a distant view, you feel it as stuff. But there is no stuff; there are only fields of energy.

There is not now, nor has there ever been, nor will there ever be, an individual being. There is no such thing.

1975

tags:   Egoity,   Nature of Reality



All things and beings are a bridge to the Infinite. They are not simply things in themselves, but they are in fact such a bridge. Merely to think, then, in terms of the One Transcendental Being is not necessarily to generate a process wherein the Power of God and the Person of God, or the Being That Is God, is directly contacted through practice of your Way of life. You must Awaken and discover the Divine World wherein everything is a bridge to the Infinite, One Being. That Awakening is what is primary.

"The Bridge To God" (October 21, 1980)

God is not within us. We are in God.

The entire world, visible and invisible, gross and subtle, is the Body of God, and even one's own body inheres in That Body.

All that we can have in mind inheres in the Mind of God, and the very Being of God is That in which one's own essential being inheres.

The worlds fall out of my right hand.
My right hand is the world.

There is no growth into God, Truth and Reality.
There is only God, Truth and Reality.

The human individual in the midst of reality is like a camera in a room — perceiving everything from a fixed "point of view." But what does the room really look like? The room can be viewed from every possible "point of view" in space-time — not merely from any particular "point of view," or even a finite collection of "points of view." Therefore, no "point of view" can reveal the room, or reality itself, because every "point of view" is limited and essentially self-referring.

The "Midnight Sun" Is the Hole in the universe. It is not (Itself) black. It Is the Hole in the black. It is Divine Being objectified, the Divine Self-Condition objectified. When there is passage into That Place (or the Divine Self-Condition Itself), there is nothing more to say.

The (Ultimate) Nature of the world (and how it is arising) is inherently (and tacitly) obvious, if you remain in a state of total psycho-physical oneness with whatever and all that presently arises.

Da Love-Ananda Gita

tags:   Nature of Reality,   Self-Transcendence



If you really examine the characteristics of conditional Nature (or phenomenal existence), there is no justification for believing in the Parental Deity at all. It is simply not true to the facts of existence altogether that there is a Great Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent Being making everything happen. . . It is simply not so.

The Aletheon

You keep waiting for some message to come that tells you why you are alive, why people suffer, where is it all going. . . but that is a waking state prejudice. The message of Reality is that neither arising conditions nor the sense of a separate "self" are necessary.

I want to Wake Up every being into this Ecstasy in the midst of death.

"For The Love" (November 26, 1984)

tags:   Death & Dying,   Enlightenment,   Nature of Reality



Life is not leading anywhere. The earth has not been created in order ultimately to evolve into the Divine state. The earth is just what it is. It may become more glamorous, or it may just fall apart. It could become more glamorous, but that wouldn't make it Divine. This world is just a limitation like all of the endless infinities of billions of other worlds All of them are just limitations. Apart from all of that, and also absolutely coincident with it, is the Divine, and those who know the Divine, in whatever world they appear, are free, and that world becomes Divine theatre for them. They don't always look to go to some other world. They live in God and play out the present event. Such is the habit of wise men.

Go beyond. There is no "soul" in the heart. There is only the Divine Person, the Divine Reality. By going beyond yourself, you Realize.

Reality Itself Is Enormously and Boundlessly "Bright" — Self-Radiant, for no reason whatsoever.

Above the clouds, There Is Always The Sun — Forever Free Of Earthly Weather. By Tendency, You Are Always Looking At the local weather, and Not At The Sun Itself. That Is What egoity Is About — Always Suffering The Changes Of The local Patterning That Is the body-mind In its egoic Bondage. Instead, You Must (In every moment) Turn To Me.
