Ote varhaisesta keskustelusta Avatar Adi Da Samrajin kanssa, 29. kesäkuuta 1973.

This video clip, "Kuvio Jää Käyttämattä" ("The Pattern Becomes Obsolete"), is an excerpt from the DVD, The Relationship To The Guru Is The Constant In Life.

Watching this video excerpt will transport viewers to a special moment in Adidam history. July 29, 1973, was the day Avatar Adi Da left Los Angeles for a Yajna (sacred journey) through India and Nepal. He returned as “Bubba Free John”, His first spontaneously revealed Teaching-Name. Thus, this was the last Discourse He gave as “Franklin Jones” (Avatar Adi Da’s birth name).

ADI DA: Satsangissa, aidon hengellisen elämän prosessissa, ei tapahdu niin, että kohoat rajattoman korkealle, etkä enää koskaan laskeudu. Sinusta tulee täysin yhtä sen olotilan kanssa, joka on ennen huippuja ja pohjia, ennen Jumalaa ja paholaista, ennen henkeä ja lihaa, kaikkia noita vastakohtia. Sinun toteutettu luonteesi tulee olemaan todellisuuden autuus Aidossa Jumalassa. Yksilö alkaa huomaamaan omassa tietoisuudessaan ja elämässään — sillä satsanging prosessi ei toimi ainoastaan subjektiivisesti, se ei ole taipumustesi ymmärtämystä tunteiden, ajatusten, unien ja sen kaltaisen kautta — se on sitäkin, mutta se myös ilmenee ulkoisesti, jatkuvasti luoden olosuhteita elämässäsi, aivan kuten se luo sisäisiä olotiloja. Eli yksilö alkaa huomaamaan, että nousun ja laskun kierre, kierre itse ei mene mihinkään. Siitä huolimatta kierteessä ilmenevät ominaisuudet eivät enää aiheuta sekaannusta. Elämän ja tietoisuuden ominaisuudet ovat edelleen havaittavissa, mutta jossain kohtaa ne lakkaavat olemasta pulma.

Taipumuksiltaan ihmiset ovat sidottuja elämän luonnolliseen aaltoilevaan kiertoon. Ruumiillinen nautinto tai hengelliset harjoitukset eivät tuota todellista vapautta tästä jatkuvasta liikkeestä. Ensimmäinen valinta korostaa ainoastaan laskevia (tai ruumiillisia) kokemuksia, ja toinen nousevia (tai mystisiä) kokemuksia.

Tässä varhaisessa keskustelussa Avatar Adi Da selvittää, miten suhde Guruun (eli Satsang) mahdollistaa vapauden tästä loukusta, koska Guru on sen Olotilan Ilmentymä, joka on Aiempi kuin tämä konemainen kierre, eli hän elää sen tuolla puolen.

"Guru on muuttumaton vakaus elämän aallonharjojen ja pohjien keskellä" ("The Guru is Constant Stability Amidst the Highs and Lows of Life") is an excerpt from the DVD, The Relationship To The Guru Is The Constant In Life.

Tässä aiemmin julkaisemattomassa keskustelussa Adi Da puhuu positiivisesta harhojen haihtumisesta ja sen tarpeellisuudesta kuolevaisen elämän parissa. Positiivinen harhojen haihtuminen ilmenee, kun yksilö alkaa ymmärtää rasittavaa ja lopulta turhaa etsintäänsä, jossa hän hakee jatkoa elämälleen, maailmallista onnea, ja lopullista elämän täyttymystä — ja alkaa myös luopua siitä. Vain silloin yksilö voi alkaa huomioimaan, oppimaan, ja ekstaattisesti osallistumaan Itse Todellisuuteen, suhteessa Aitoon Toteuttajaan.

In this excerpt from an Avataric Discourse, Adi Da speaks about the necessity to become disillusioned with mortal life in a positive sense. Positive disillusionment is emerging when one begins to understand and relinquish the stressful and ultimately futile search for personal survival, worldly happiness, and ultimate life fulfillment. Only then can one be drawn into recognizing, learning about, and ecstatically participating in Reality Itself, in relationship to a True Realizer.

ADI DA: The teaching of Truth is for those who are disillusioned in the positive sense, who have been sobered in their lives by grasping the nature of existence and being cured of search.
