In this excerpt (from August 26, 2004), Adi Da responds to a questioner who asks how she can practice devotion in her dream state.
Adi Da indicates the necessity of self-understanding, in order for devotees to grow in practice. He points to the depth of existence that is always the case regardless of the changing states of awareness (waking, dreaming, and sleeping). And He Calls for ego-transcending practice (sadhana) to be engaged at this depth—so that What Is Prior to all conditional states can be Realized.

In a sobering discourse, Adi Da speaks of the condition after death in which mind determines one's circumstance, without the limitations of the body, brain and unconsciousness. He addresses the fact that where one's attention is fixed during life affects attention and destiny after life. He recommends that devotees direct their attention to sadhana so that the purification process gives one wisdom that frees one from karmic limitations.

Video excerpt from an Avataric Discourse given by Adi Da Samraj at Adi Da Samrajashram, on October 20, 2004. In this excerpt, Avatar Adi Da speaks about the Big Bang theory in the context of the ego's logic of cause-and-effect.
In this Discourse, Avatar Adi Da points out that the logic of cause-and-effect is operative not only in the conventional religious presumption that the Divine is the Cause of the world, but also in all human historical traditions—from the most ancient astrologically based cultures, to various Western philosophies, to the esoteric traditions that posit a subjective source for phenomena.
The Truth of the matter, Avatar Adi Da Reveals, is this: Everything and everyone that arises is merely an apparent modification of Reality Itself. Reality Itself is always Prior to the universe of conditional beings and things. And, ultimately, the process of Realizing Reality Itself utterly Outshines both the question of cause and the noticing of effects.

AVATAR ADI DA: "Io Trascendo ogni cosa – e ogni cosa è Inclusa in Me. . .
Il Mio Insegnamento, Avatarico e Divino, è Offerto ad ognuno – in quanto Saggezza Universale ed Unica Che Va Oltre ogni possibile limitazione in ognuno, oltre ogni selettività.
Io Sono il Divino Avatar – Che Trascende Occidente e Oriente."
La vita umana di Avatar Adi Da è stata una continua dimostrazione del Suo Essere Illuminato, a cui ha dato il nome di "Luminoso", ovvero Luce Cosciente che è Realtà Stessa.
A cominciare dalla Sua nascita, 3 novembre 1939, a Long Island, N.Y. fino al suo abbandono del corpo, 27 novembre 2008, la sua vita è stata la storia dell'Intervento del "Luminoso" nella vita umana.
Durante la sua vita, Avatar Adi Da ha tracciato le linee per una nuova ed unica possibilità di trasformazione per ogni essere e per il mondo stesso. La Sua Rivelazione è tutta dedicata alla Realtà Divina, alla Condizione Primaria di ognuno ed ogni cosa.
Avatar Adi Da ha sempre detto che la Via da Lui Indicata è quella di una relazione che trascende l'ego, piuttosto che una tecnica in servizio all'ego stesso. La Via è fondata sul riconoscimento e la risposta a Lui Stesso. Una intuizione senza parole che va diretta al cuore di ognuno – quindi nessun credo, nessuna idea, nessuna tecnica in cerca di soddisfazione (sia materiale che spirituale). Ad ognuno che risponda a Lui, Avatar Adi Da Rivela la Condizione Vera e Divina – la Luce di Amore e Beatitudine della Coscienza Stessa.
Questo film vuol essere una introduzione alla vita di Adi Da e al Suo Insegnamento, e anche un invito ad entrare in relazione spirituale con Lui.

"Unità Umana" ("The Unity of Humankind") is an excerpt from the Avataric Discourse of August 22, 2004.
Adi Da describes how humankind is a single family, a single species in "diaspora" — dispersed across the earth as the result of migrations from a single point of origin (in Africa) thousands of years ago. Making much of superficial differences due to race, nation, religion, language, tribe, political system, etc. obscures this more fundamental, deeper reality of the unity of humankind. For the sake of everyone's survival, humankind must begin to live on the basis of its unity, and establish a global cooperative order that includes and serves everyone.

Ote keskustelusta, joka tapahtui 10. lokakuuta 2004. Adi Da Samraj selittää, miten kaikki olennot ja asiat, jotka oletamme olevan itsenäistä olemassaoloa ovat itse asiassa vain ilmestyksiä, jotka ilmenevät yhdessä, kaikenkattavassa Tietoisuudessa, ja ovat yhteisen, allaolevan Jumalaisen Todellisuuden muunnoksia. Avatar Adi Da huomio, että myös ajattelumme on osa tätä ilmestystä. Hän sanoo, että jopa ajatukset ovat vain toimintaa, joka illmenee Tietoisuudessa, ja jos todella tutkisimme tätä toimintaa, huomaisimme, että emme tuota ajattelemisen prosessia.

Awatar Adi Da ponownie analizuje powierzchowne podejście do życia i medytacji; ponownie oświetla źródło strachu jako samo-ograniczenie, które tworzy oddzielne życie. Żadna technika nie cofa strachu, tylko radykalne samozrozumienie i radykalna odpowiedzialność usuwa źródło i substancję lęku i separacji.
"Techniki medytacji nie usuwają lęku" ("Meditation Techniques Do Not Touch Fear") is an excerpt from the Avataric Discourse of August 23, 2004 at Adi Da Samrajashram.
Adi Da explains how ordinary meditation techniques accomplish nothing more than relaxation. They don't touch the egoic identification with the body-mind. Only the Way of Adidam (practiced in every detail) does that. Practice of the Way of Adidam does not require one to stop fear (which continues to serve a useful, practical role for the survival of the body-mind). But in every moment of real practice of the Way of Adidam, one is released from identification with the body-mind, and so one is not bound by any fear the body-mind may be experiencing.

W tym fragmencie dyskursu z września 2004 r. Awatar Adi Da odnosi się do faktu, że ludzie cenią dobre doświadczenia i unikają złych. Adi Da ujawnia - co zaskakuje wielu - że każde doświadczenie jest z natury wiążące. Pozytywne lub negatywne - nie robi żadnej różnicy! Idąc dalej, podaje również konkretne opisy tego, co musi zostać odkryte w obu przypadkach: • Pozytywne: "Musisz rozpoznać twoje cierpienie nawet w pozornej przyjemności." • Negatywne: "Musisz znaleźć twoją wolność, nawet w bólu i widocznym cierpieniu."
In "Pułapka doświadczenia" ("The Trap of Experience"), a video excerpt from an Avataric Discourse given on September 1, 2004, Adi Da addresses the fact that people tend to value good experiences and shun the bad ones. Adi Da reveals that all experience — positive or negative — is inherently binding (which may come as a surprise to many).
