The Way of Fun poster: DAbase length: 54:00 date added: October 19, 2010 event date: 1987 language: English listens: 7477; listens this month: 24; listens this week: 11 Adi Da's very humorous and wonderfully instructive talk from 1987, The Way Of Fun, about how, after being around His devotees, He "finally got it", that "it's time for the Siddhas" to adapt to modern times, "time for the Truth to change". This new way ("The Way of Fun") — for realizing God without requiring self-transcendence — will "require nothing of you except to really dig those Divine Vibes." The talk is Adi Da's masterful reflection of how the ego is always trying to revise the Way into something that is self-fulfilling rather than self-transcending, something that has no requirements and no difficulties, and that takes no time at all. "So whatever kind of association you have with Me . . . as long as it's fun, you're happy to do it. But if it requires anything of you, your resistance comes on immediately." For more on this theme, read our article, The Way of the Bone.

We Are Waiting poster: frank marrero length: 03:39 date added: September 30, 2009 language: English views: 5894; views this month: 18; views this week: 10 Darshan of Adi Da, accompanied by Adi Da's recitation of His poem, "We are waiting for something to happen to this", from Crazy Da Must Sing.
We are waiting for something to happen to this. Outside the Heart, there is only confusion and fear. All of this has become unnecessary, unequal to the Truth. Knowing this something force of our existence. We think that true appearance is in another drastic place. Seeing this dilemma and the something powerful implied somehow within it and around. There is only in the solution in the satisfactions elsewhere. Unless something happens to all of this.
Therefore, men have tussled with the two hands of adventure. Either to turn an extraordinary something here. Or else to make unusual escapes into another power, another timed, or timeless place. This is the whole account of man.
But there is a possibility between these means. There is another understanding, another adventure. If only we understand the harm in which we act. The origin of all this fearful desperation. The ordinary term in which we view the thing itself. There is a prime dilemma formed within the mind that sees the world and turns away. That turns away and turns within the life, but always turns upon the pivot of a single doubt. Within this doubt, two arms of possibility enlarge the man. One intends the world, intending magnificent life, ending in perfect happiness. One intends another life, more than life itself, beginning and ending in perfect truth. Therefore he sees all things in double terms. In opposites and contradictions, high and low. And he makes final appearance in neither kind. But forever agonizes the play of his dilemma until he dies. This is the kind he seems.
But one who understands, is free of doubt. He sees the world the same. The mind in which he sees the world is single as the Heart. He does not act upon the wheel evolving and involved, two forces on a spike. He always understands the source-ful act that turns men in and out. This is what he always does. But others act upon the thing he understands. Therefore, he is not in trouble. This is the only mood of his adventure. What should he wait to happen? Where should he go? What elsewhere? What event? All the places are a single world for him. Where others go, where others wait is all a single field of single action and no trouble. Therefore, neither high nor low, unmoved from the beginning, not turned, he stands as the Heart. This is understanding. And the image of His life.tags: Darshanpoempoetry
