W tym fragmencie dyskursu zatytułowanym "Ciało powstaje w uniwersalnym polu" Awatar Adi Da bada nasze błędne przekonanie, że jesteśmy oddzielnym "ja". Ujawnia naszą prawdziwą naturę jako jedność z Boską Siłą Życia, która nas przenika.

In this discourse excerpt entitled "The Body Arises in a Universal Field", Avatar Adi Da examines our mistaken belief that we are a separate "me". He reveals our true nature as being one with the Divine Life Force that pervades us.

In this excerpt from an Avataric Discourse given on September 18, 2004, at Adi Da Samrajashram, Adi Da points out that all fear is fear of death or extinction. This fear is like a constant background noise, from which we constantly try to distract ourselves with the games of life. Adi Da describes the choice we face: to live in fear, the "native mood of the ego" — or to realize the profundity of the “inherently fearless condition”.

Tässä varhaisessa puheessa vuodelta 1978, Adi Da käsittelee hengellisen harjoituksen alkuvaiheiden kamppailua ja häiriötekoijöitä, mutta myös sitä suurta apua, jota saa suhteesta hengelliseen mestariin. Huomion vartalo-mielen ylä- ja alamäkiin voi ylittää tuossa suhteessa.

"Suhde Hengelliseen Mestariin mahdollistaa antautumisen" ("Communion with the Spiritual Master is What Makes Surrender Possible") is from a question and answer session with Adi Da on October 28, 1978, in Land Bridge Pavilion at the Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary in Northern California. This is track 3 on the DVD, Surrender of self Is A Koan.

In this excerpt, Adi Da addresses the fact that although the struggle and distractions in the early stages of spiritual practice are great, there is also great help in the relationship with the Spiritual Master. Attention to all of the ups and downs of the body-mind can be transcended and surrendered through that relationship.

"La Chiave della Nostra Sessualita È I'Emozione" ("The Key to Our Sexuality Is Emotion") is an excerpt from a longer Discourse in which Adi Da communicates how all our problems (including sexual problems) are rooted in the feeling of being a separate self, which coincides with the feeling, "you don't love me", the feeling of rejection by (or lack of sustenance from) the universe, and leads to the reaction, "I don't love you".

This video clip, "La Funcion de la Literatura Espiritual de Adi Da Samraj" ("The Function of the Spiritual Literature of Adi Da Samraj") includes:

• Commentary from Jonathan Condit (at 0:00) — Jonathan Condit was Adi Da's senior editorial assistant, and is Senior Editor for the Adidam Editorial Department. Jonathan talks about "The Function of the Spiritual Literature of Adi Da Samraj", and how Adi Da's Teaching works as Transmission of His Transcendental Spiritual State, and serves the Spiritual Realization of the reader.



• Excerpt from an Avataric Discourse by Adi Da (at 5:35) — The Discourse is "My Teaching is a Direct Transmission of Me", from October 28, 2005. Adi Da talks about how His Teaching Word is a form of Spiritual Transmission, that enables Divine Communion with Him (if the devotee is in the right devotional disposition), in the same way that a Murti photograph does, or any of the other forms of Agency that Adi Da has created for this purpose.



• Commentary from Megan Anderson (at 12:44) — Megan Anderson is an editor in the Adidam Editorial Department. Megan talks about Adi Da's great, final masterpiece, The Aletheon as the purest communication and Transmission of Adi Da Himself (among all His many, extraordinary books), and describes receiving the Revelation of Adi Da as she was proofreading The Aletheon before its publication.

Adi Da: "My Reality-Teaching is unparalleled Spiritual Transmission, occurring under the most extraordinary circumstances. It is not the product of an ordinary mind or a kind of scholarly commentary. It is a direct expression of Spiritual Transformation, of Spiritual Power, of Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and (necessarily) Divine Being, Consciousness, and Love-Bliss. It does not arise in Me or through Me in any ordinary fashion. It is an utterly spontaneous and Transcendental Spiritual Event."

For more on how to best make use of Adi Da's Teaching, read the article, The Gift of Study. For more on the Transmission associated with the Teaching, visit our section, The Mantric Force of Adi Da's Word and read our section on Adi Da as Spiritual Transmission Master.

This is an excerpt from track 1 (“Seeking is the Pursuit of Union”) of the CD, Real self-Understanding Is Right Now, available from The Dawn Horse Press.

On the CD is a seminal Discourse on self-understanding given by Adi Da on April 8, 1993. In this Discourse, Adi Da calls all those inclined to Realize True Freedom to first recognize the failure of their search — which is based on the illusion of separation. Rather than engaging the ordinary pursuit of union with all others and things from which we feel separate, Avatar Adi Da says we must find out that our inherent Condition is one of Perfect Non-separation.

ADI DA: You are doing this contraction. The stress you say you are feeling is the result of that. . . The more you feel that you yourself are doing it, the more it relaxes. . . You are, as it relaxes, directly surrendered, truly forgetting yourself, entering into the Field of Non-Separateness — which is My Very Nature, Condition, Sign, Demonstration, Transmission.
