Adi Da recites "El Corazón del Entendimiento" ("The Heart of Understanding"), the Prologue to His autobiography, The Knee Of Listening. "The Heart of Understanding" also is the Prologue to His book, Easy Death.
The recitation is accompanied by photos of Adi Da.
"The Heart of Understanding" is extraordinarily good news: death itself can be transcended! The death of the body-mind is not a problem, and is utterly acceptable, if one realizes and stands as Consciousness Itself, in which all mortal forms and limited worlds are arising.
In the final words of "The Heart of Understanding", Adi Da reveals that He is That: Consciousness Itself. Because this is so, He transmits that Revelation to all beings, and provides (and is) the means whereby all of us finally can be free of mortality and the mortal vision.
This excerpt is track 1 of the CD, Death and the Purpose of Existence, a collection of talks and recitations that exemplify Avatar Adi Da’s essential Wisdom-Teaching on death and dying.

Un extracto del Discurso de Avatar Adi Da Samraj.
"La Unidad de la Humanidad" ("The Unity of Humankind") is an excerpt from the Avataric Discourse of August 22, 2004.
Adi Da describes how humankind is a single family, a single species in "diaspora" — dispersed across the earth as the result of migrations from a single point of origin (in Africa) thousands of years ago. Making much of superficial differences due to race, nation, religion, language, tribe, political system, etc. obscures this more fundamental, deeper reality of the unity of humankind. For the sake of everyone's survival, humankind must begin to live on the basis of its unity, and establish a global cooperative order that includes and serves everyone.

Adi Da Samráj oslovuje fakt, že konečné osvobození či dosažení Realizace nelze nikdy dosáhnout pomocí sexu, vědy nebo náboženství! Tvrdí, že ve skutečnosti "Realizace nemá nic společného s komplexem těla a mysli“. Jedná se o přímou účast v samotné Skutečnosti, která předchází veškerou činnost vykonávanou tělem-myslí.
In this Adidam Revelation Discourse from January 21, 2005, Adi Da reveals that Liberation cannot ever be achieved through sex, science, or religion! And He makes the astounding assertion, “Realization has nothing to do with the body-mind.”
Watch this DVD for Adi Da's Instruction on True Freedom, which He says is discovered only in the utter transcending of “point of view”, by means of the Transmission of Reality Itself. "The 'self'-contraction, the 'point of view', the 'point-of-view'-machine and what it presumes to be Reality, the illusions of Reality created by 'point of view' — these are the important matters to be understood. The 'you' to which you refer as 'I', the ego-'I', is a 'point-of-view'-machine. It is subject to the illusions of the cosmic apparition, the illusions that 'point of view' itself is subject to — space-time, mass, and so forth."
The DVD, Beyond Sex, Science, and "self", is available from The Dawn Horse Press. Subtitles in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Czech, and Hebrew. A CD version is also available.

"Una introducción a Avatar Adi Da Samraj" ("An introduction to Avatar Adi Da Samraj").
ADI DA: "Transciendo todo — y lo Incluyo todo. . . Mi Divina Revelación-Enseñanza Avatarica se ofrece a cada uno — como sabiduría universal y única que corta a través de las limitaciones en cada uno, sin selectividad. Yo Soy el Avatar Divino — Transcendiendo Oriente y Occidente."
La vida humana de Avatar Adi Da fue una demostración única de Su Estado Iluminado, a quien Él llama el “Brillante”, la Luz Consciente que es la Realidad Misma.
Desde su nacimiento el 3 de noviembre de 1939 en Long Island, en Nueva York, hasta Su muerte el 27 de noviembre de 2008, Su vida es la historia de la Intervención del "Brillante" en el tiempo humano.
Durante su vida, Avatar Adi Da estableció una nueva y única posibilidad para la transformación de todos los seres y del mundo mismo. Su Revelación es de la Realidad Divina, la Condición Previa de todo y cada cosa.
Avatar Adi Da Samraj siempre ha dicho que el Camino que Enseña es una relación que trasciende al ego, en lugar de una técnica de servicio al ego. El Camino se basa en el reconocimiento y la respuesta a Él. Es una intuición silenciosa y sin palabras en el corazón del ser — no una cuestión de mera creencia, ideas o técnicas para buscar la realización (ya sea material o espiritual). A todos los que Le responden, Avatar Adi da Samraj Revela la Condición Bien Divina: la Luz del Amor-Felicidad de la Conciencia Misma.
Esta película da una visión general de la vida y Enseñanza de Avatar Adi Da, y es una invitación para entrar en la relación Espiritual con Él.
