Devotee Andre Decio was present: "It took nine years of devotional practice before I saw my beloved Spiritual and Heart Master Avatara Adi Da Samraj. I went in November 1995, and then again in December. It was a culmination and affirmation of my entire and truest motivation in life. . . That has never changed, but only more and more intensified. I really want people to know that true heart surrender to Adi Da is the greatest and happiest possible committment in life. All else pales in comparison."tags: Darshan

The complete talk can be found on the 2-CD set, Love Is How I Got To Here / The God Who Truly Is.
In this talk, Avatar Adi Da describes the Way of Adidam as the utter transcendence of fear — including fear of being without a body or world (in the Divine State of Infinite, Eternal Love-Bliss). He speaks about finding True God as Source rather than "Creator", and He describes the mechanism that is actually responsible for generating the conditional universe. Adi Da closes with spontaneous and ecstatic poetry, communicating the Sublime Peace that is Realized in His Sphere of Love-Bliss.
This excerpt is track 8 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.

I Am Here poster: AdiDaUpClose length: 06:27 date added: December 12, 2021 event date: December 1993 language: English views: 928; views this month: 31; views this week: 16 words: Avatar Adi Da Samraj music: Chris Tong sung by: the Adidam New England Choir (with all devotees joining in) choir members: Chris Tong, Paul Caswell, Patricia Rydle, Lisa Alexandra Fry pianist / choir director: Chris Tong date: Danavira Mela, 1993
CHRIS: I just ran across an old audio tape with this recording. The quality is not the best, and the choir is not professional, but there is so much heart-feeling in devotees’ singing, and our Beloved Heart-Master’s Words are so beautiful and heart-moving, that I felt compelled to share this for Danavira Mela.
———————————————————— I AM HERE
I Am here. And that is all you need to feel. I am your hungry heart’s Full Meal. Touch My Heart and all My Secrets are Revealed.
I am most accessible. You’re the one who hides your heart. I am always waiting for your heart to find Me. Fall in love with only Me. Be, by that act, Consciousness, And be the mindless Feeling Of Happiness. ————————————————————
I drew Adi Da's words from many sources. For example, "Fall in love with only Me" is drawn from “My Most Secret Revelation of Only and Absolute Adherence To Me” in Always Enact Fidelity To Me:

Avatar Adi Da describes the three options of human destiny: one can reinforce one's present existence in gross (physical) form; one can go beyond gross existence into subtler dimensions of existence; or one can transcend conditional existence altogether, in the Great Process of seventh stage Divine Self-Realization. He suggests that most people (and most devotees) are opting (generally unconsciously) for the first (and lowest) option.
For those who discover the heart-impulse to the Great Process, Avatar Adi Da offers Graceful Means — but, He clarifies, a most intensive ego-transcending process will be required of such devotees, a constant relinquishment of identification with the separate self.

He responds to a devotee who is wanting to go beyond his "limitation on love". Adi Da makes the point that this is not possible merely via idealism and will. One's current limit on love is due to an as yet uninspected resistance to love. Only through self-understanding (and disciplines that serve self-understanding) can one transcend this limit.

Some of the questions Adi Da addresses in the full talk are: What is a Divine experience? Who is God that God could be identified over against anything whatsoever?
