In this talk (from Feb. 1, 1985), Adi Da describes what actually happens during and after the death process. While we survive death, that fact is of no consolation. At death, there is the falling off of the physical body, but the mind, psyche, and personality created and reinforced during one's life (and previous lifetimes) continue. Without the anchor of the body, we drift aimlessly into the disturbances of mind and psyche that remain. Therefore, what occurs after death is directly associated with what one does in life.
This talk is also published as "This Liberating Impulse" in the book, Easy Death.

In this podcast, which is drawn from two talks and a recitation from Adi Da's Teaching, Avatar Adi Da brings His unique clarity and offers commentary on the commercialization of religion. He describes how the consumer mentality has infiltrated the area of religion. We hear from the media and the popular psyche that you can buy religion and become "spiritual" without real change — and Adi Da points out how this presumption is false. Adi Da contasts consumer religion with true religion.

In this discourse Adi Da calls us to understand the doctrines and spiritual attainments of humankind not as separate traditions or paths but as a whole: a single "Great Tradition". He also urges humankind to transcend merely belief-based religious myths, dogma, and "religious provincialism" which only support egoic separation and conflict.

In this excerpt (from a talk Adi Da gave in Holland in 1986), Adi Da describes how doubt is not ultimately a sign that we have been "betrayed" in some way. The radical solution to doubt is to identify with the Divine Itself, beyond the temporary cycles of the body and mind and beyond the sense of being a separate self.

Fear is an inherent characteristic of identification with the mortal body. Adi Da explains that such fear cannot be escaped, but that identification with the body can be understood and utterly transcended in the Divine Self-Condition.
