In this discourse excerpt, Adi Da addresses the fact that the assumption of a separate self or being, is not really the case. It is, in fact, an illusion — a "lie" that rules our entire life. But based on this assumption, we assume all kinds of limitations, and struggle to get out of our suffering through the very means (our assumption that we are separate) which binds us in the first place. All that does is reinforce the illusion.

From a 2004 Avataric Discourse. Avatar Adi Da communicates both verbally and through bodily gestures that the assumption of a separate self or ego self is an illusion and not the truth of Reality itself.

This is a video excerpt from Adi Da's classic talk, "The Bodily Location of Happiness", which He gave on November 28, 1981. This talk was originally published in the book, The Bodily Location Of Happiness. The full talk is available on DVD and on CD, and as an online transcript.
ADI DA: Life is foolishness. This is no time, in any case, to be tolerant of foolishness. The world is mad, and these are dreadful times. Things are not going to be easier in the years ahead. The spiritual process has always been lived in difficult times. Therefore, the spiritual process tolerates no fool. The spiritual process itself will spit you out. It is not an easy attainment, but a profoundly difficult affair. Even what you have listened to today has been heard by only a fraction of the human race in all of history. The opportunity to practice is extremely rare, and the fulfillment of practice is practically unknown.
In some sense you could say this life is hell. . . The nature of this hell is that we are self-possessed. We are born in un-Happiness and we do not transcend it readily. We constantly pursue Happiness through all kinds of incredibly complex means, and we never attain It. . .
If Spiritual Realizers did not turn about and Teach, this would truly be a hell instead of being like a hell. It would truly be a hell if there were no possibility of Enlightenment, if there were no Teaching, no Spiritual Masters, no sacred Way, no sacred community, no capacity for understanding or self-transcendence.

In dit fragment van een nooit eerder gepubliceerde toespraak, spreekt Adi Da over de noodzaak in positieve zin gedesillusioneerd te raken met het sterfelijke bestaan. Positieve desillusie ontstaat als je het stressvolle en uiteindelijk futiele zoeken naar persoonlijk overleven, werelds plezier en ultieme levensvervulling begint te begrijpen en los te laten. Alleen dan kun je aangetrokken worden tot het herkennen, leren over en extatisch deelnemen in de Werkelijkheid Zelf in relatie met een Werkelijk Verlichte.
In this excerpt from an Avataric Discourse, Adi Da speaks about the necessity to become disillusioned with mortal life in a positive sense. Positive disillusionment is emerging when one begins to understand and relinquish the stressful and ultimately futile search for personal survival, worldly happiness, and ultimate life fulfillment. Only then can one be drawn into recognizing, learning about, and ecstatically participating in Reality Itself, in relationship to a True Realizer.
ADI DA: The teaching of Truth is for those who are disillusioned in the positive sense, who have been sobered in their lives by grasping the nature of existence and being cured of search.

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.

Avatar Adi Da's menselijk bestaan is een unieke demonstratie van zijn verlichte staat, die hij het ‘stralende’ noemt, het bewuste licht dat de werkelijkheid zelf is. Vanaf zijn geboorte op 3 november 1939 op Long Island in New York, tot zijn overlijden op 27 november 2008, is zijn leven het verhaal van de incarnatie van het ‘stralende’ Tijdens zijn leven, bracht Avatar Adi Da een nieuwe en unieke mogelijkheid tot stand voor de transformatie van alle wezens en de wereld.
Zijn openbaring is de goddelijke werkelijkheid, de werkelijke conditie van iedereen en alle dingen. Avatar Adi Da Samraj heeft altijd gezegd dat de weg die hij onderwijst een ego-overstijgende relatie is, in plaats van een ego-dienende techniek. De weg is gebaseerd op herkenning van en respons op zijn staat. Het is een stille, woordloze intuïtie in het hart van elk wezen—niet een kwestie van geloof, ideeën, of technieken, die vervulling (materieel of spiritueel) als doel hebben. Aan iedereen die een respons op hem hebben, onthult Avatar Adi Da Samraj de goddelijke conditie — de liefde-licht-gelukzaligheid van de werkelijkheid.
Deze korte video geeft een overzicht van Avatar Adi Da’s leven en leer, en is een uitnodiging om in spirituele relatie met hem te treden.
