Kolejny fragment wczesnego dyskursu (29 lipca 1973) Adi Da Samraj:
ADI DA: To, co dzieje się w procesie Satsangu, czyli prawdziwego życia duchowego, nie polega na tym, żeby się wznieść na wyżyny i już nigdy nie upaść. Praktykując stajesz się całkowicie identyczny ze stanem przed wzlotami i upadkami, przed bogiem i diabłem, przed duchem i ciałem i wszystkimi tymi przeciwieństwami. Prawdziwa błogość rzeczywistości i prawdziwego boga staje się twoją urzeczywistnioną naturą.
Zaczynasz obserwować to w świadomości - a także w życiu codziennym bo proces Satsangu działa nie tylko subiektywnie. To nie jest po prostu ujawnienie twoich skłonności, uczuć, myśli i snów. Ten proces przejawia się również zewnętrznie, powodując nieustanne zmiany okoliczności w twoim życiu, przynosząc zmieny stanów wewnętrzny. Z cazsem zaczynasz obserwować, że cykl wzlotów i upadków - sam cykl - nie znika. Ale już nie masz wątpliwości co do charakteru zachodzących w cyklu zmian. Teraz możesz obserwować cechy życia i świadomości, ale ich cykl przestaje być dylematem.
Watching this DVD 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).tags: PolishDVD
Guru as Prophet poster: belleislesound length: 58:23 date added: February 8, 2020 event date: December 23, 1973 language: English views: 1587; views this month: 47; views this week: 23 A talk by Avatar Adi Da titled "Guru as Prophet", given on December 23, 1973. The full talk is available on the double CD, Money, Food, and Sex / Guru as Prophet. A written version of this talk is available in the book, My "Bright" Word.
In this talk, Adi Da distinguishes between the Spiritual function and the "prophet" function of the True Guru. As prophet, the Guru offends, criticizes, and undermines the usual ego-based life by confounding the search and the need for consolation and fascination. This process works to bring about a crisis of understanding in anyone not yet involved in the real Spiritual process.
Adi Da explains that teachings about ordinary life or even about Spiritual life tend to console the seeker in some way, exploiting the search for self-fulfillment. But contact with the True Guru frustrates the seeker instead, and draws the individual into the feeling of dilemma that is at the root of his or her search. This serves the crisis that must precede the real Spiritual process whereby the True Guru's Spiritual Function may be discovered.
Later in the Discourse, Avatar Adi Da returns to the primary theme of the Guru-devotee relationship. When the ego-frustrating process is engaged as Satsang, or relationship to the Guru, then present Realization of the Divine can be Awakened by Grace, and the real Spiritual process can begin.
ADI DA: To the extent that I appear in public at all—for example, by writing books, or even simply by the existence of the gathering of My devotees in this world—My visible Role can only be that of Prophet. I do not serve people's random needs to be fulfilled, to be consoled, to be fascinated. Every individual who is moved to Realize Real God, Truth, and Reality in My Avataric Divine Company must approach Me as My formally practicing devotee—and, in every such case, the usual egoic process will (and must) be Offended, Criticized, and Undermined by Me.
As the Avataric Incarnation of the Very Divine Person, I must be Paradoxical, I must be Free—in order to Serve the Divine Liberation of My devotees. The qualities of My Avataric Divine Activity cannot be predetermined. I do not consistently assume the qualities of any particular archetype—the holy man, the Yogi, the Sage. I must be Free to Appear as I will. I am always Acting to Undo the egoic life of My devotees—even if only by Merely Being Who I Am.tags: CD

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.

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