The bottom line: If you want to feel good, you have to learn how to feel good!
ADI DA: Somehow in the midst of this round of existence you realize that you can feel a lot better than you now feel, that you can feel absolutely blissful, that you can love absolutely, that you can be absolutely free. But feeling blissful stands in contrast to your common state. You are addicted to reactive emotion, low levels of energy, gross fixations of attention, psycho-physical obstruction. You are addicted to countless programs that are less than love. In every moment your attention is moving toward one or another object, and your feeling in every moment is an expression of the program of mind into which you are locked in that moment.
Now, what have you learned in your whole life? Have you learned to feel perfectly? To feel absolutely? Did you ever go through a period of study in which you learned to feel to Infinity, to feel Absolute Divinity? No, you learned all the reactive patterns of life, all the desires for ordinary things. You knew them even before you became familiar with them again in this body. You cannot feel any better than you can feel, and you are addicted to feeling less than love, to being less than ecstasy.

The bottom line: If you want to feel good, you have to learn how to feel good!
ADI DA: Jotenkin, kaiken tämän keskellä, tajuat että kaikki voisi tuntua paljon paremmalta. Voisit tuntea olevasi täysin autuas. Voisit rakastaa ehdottomasti, voisit olla ehdottoman vapaa. Mutta tämä näyttää tavallisen olotilasti vastakohdalta. Olet riippuvainen kaikenlaisista reaktiivisista tunteista, matalista energiatasoista, huomion pakkomielteistä, psyko-fyysisistä tukkeutumista, olet riippuvainen kaikesta tästä, sinulla on miljoona, lukematon määrä ohjelmia, jotka ovat vähemmän kuin rakkaus, joista olet riippuvainen. Mieli on kiinnittynyt halun ja huomion ohjelmistoon. Ja jokaisella ohjelmalla on omat kohteensa joka hetkessä. Mieli pyrkii kohti yhtä tai toista kohdetta, huomiosi liikkuu kohti yhtä tai toisenlaista kohdetta. Se, miltä sinusta tuntuu joka hetkellä, on ilmaisu siitä mielen ohjelmasta, johon olet siinä kohtaa lukittuna.
Mitä olet koko elämäsi aikana oppinut? Oletko oppinut tuntemaan täydellisesti? Tuntemaan täysin? Jouduitko käymään läpi opintokauden,\Njossa opit tuntemaan äärettömiin, ehdottomaan Jumalaisuuteen asti? Ei - opit elämän kaikki reaktiokuviot, kaiken tavanomaisen halun. Ja tunsit ne ennen kuin tutustuit niihin uudellen tässä vartalossa. Eli itselläsi ei voi olla parempaa\Noloa kuin itselläsi voi olla. Ja olet riippuvainen tuntemaan itsesi vähempänä kuin rakkaus, ollaksesti vähemmän kuin ekstaasi.

In this excerpt, Avatar Adi Da speaks directly and humorously to a beginner who assumes her lack of devotional self-surrender is a "problem", rather than a process. He contrasts the beginner's necessarily muscular, “tear your guts out”, tapas-filled practice of relatively superficial surrender (counter-egoically cutting into lifetimes of self-possession) with the mature devotee's spontaneous, profound, and complete surrender. A central principle of the process is “just do it” persistence.
In this excerpt, Adi Da Samraj considers the spiritual transformation of a human being, and states of the body-mind. The real spiritual process is not based on effort or having more (or greater) experiences, even in the mystical dimension. In the true spiritual process, experience, in all its forms (first physical and then mystical), must be transcended through our heart-based practice of God-Communion.

In this excerpt, "Prawdziwe poddanie się to koan" ("Surrender of self Is A Koan"), Avatar Adi Da speaks directly and humorously to a beginner who assumes her lack of devotional self-surrender is a "problem", rather than a process. He contrasts the beginner's necessarily muscular, “tear your guts out”, tapas-filled practice of relatively superficial surrender (counter-egoically cutting into lifetimes of self-possession) with the mature devotee's spontaneous, profound, and complete surrender. A central principle of the process is “just do it” persistence.
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.

W tym unikalnym dyskursie Adi Da Samraj rozważa, jak duchowa transformacja człowieka jest związana z różnymi aspektami ciała fizycznego. Odnosi się również do tego, że prawdziwy proces duchowy nie opiera się na wysiłku lub zwiększeniu ilości doświadczeń, nawet w wymiarze mistycznym. W prawdziwym procesie duchowym, doświadczenie we wszystkich jego formach (fizycznej i fenomenalnej), muszą być przekroczone.
In this excerpt, "Nie ma nikogo, kto mógłby się poddać" ("There Is No One To Surrender"), Adi Da Samraj considers the spiritual transformation of a human being, and states of the body-mind.

In October of 1978, in Land Bridge Pavilion at the Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary in Northern California, devotees of Adi Da Samraj gathered with Him for an occasion in which He responded to their questions. At one point, a young boy stood up to ask a question. With quiet determination, he asked Avatar Adi Da if he could help him find a way to stop being self-righteous with other people. Avatar Adi Da gave the boy a radiant smile and began to speak to him with great gentleness and love. This is a video excerpt from that Talk. This is track 6 on the DVD, Surrender of self Is A Koan. It is also available in audio form as Track 3 of the free, downloadable CD, The Liberating Word of Avatar Adi Da Samraj, Volume 1.
