In dit fragment van een toespraak van 10 oktober, 2004, legt Adi Da Samraj uit hoe alle wezens en dingen, waarvan we een onafhankelijk bestaan neigen te veronderstellen, feitelijk alleen maar verschijningen zijn in een enkelvoudig, universeel Bewustzijn en dat ze modificaties zijn van een enkelvoudige, onderliggende Goddelijke Werkelijkheid.
Avatar Adi Da merkt op dat zelfs ons denkproces onderdeel is van deze verschijning. Hij Zegt dat ook gedachten zelf alleen maar een activiteit zijn, verschijnend in het Bewustzijn en dat als we deze activiteit werkelijk zouden onderzoeken, we zouden zien dat we NIET het denkproces genereren.
This video excerpt, "Jij denkt niet" ("You Do Not Think") is from an Avataric Discourse given by Avatar Adi Da on October 10, 2004, at Adi Da Samrajashram.
