Love Comes To Here in Time, And Numbers All the Things of Beauty in the House. A Single Room Is Shown To Be –A Unity, Within and Every Where. No Point of View is Stood Apart. No Word Is Made To Say, This Space Is Empty, or, This Place Is Full. Only Light Itself Is Come –A Merest Touch of Brightness Neither Mind Nor Body Can Deny. It Is the Heart’s Explanation of Reality. It Is Reality, Plain Spoken To the Heart –and By the Heart Alone. It Is the Beautiful, Itself.tags: music

Adi Da relates this to the fundamental condition of ignorance and the nature of reality. He draws His listeners into considering that the ego has a more fundamental context than even death, as the most primal action of the human condition.tags: Avataric Discoursedeath

Sex, Laughter, and Real-God-Realization poster: DawnHorsePress length: 03:21 date added: August 18, 2012 event date: September 7, 1975 language: English listens: 5611; listens this month: 38; listens this week: 23 Audio excerpt from Adi Da's talk, "Sex, Laughter, and Real-God-Realization" (now available on CD).
Sexuality, humor, and Awakening to the Divine Condition are three forms of ecstasy, or unbounded feeling, that disrupt the conventional sense of “order” in society. Pleasure undoes the body. Humor undoes the mind. And Realization undoes the sense of “self”. The Fullness of Real-God-Realization Comprehends and Transcends the limitations of social norms, spiritual presumptions, and self-identification, granting the capability of Real Happiness and True Freedom.tags: CD

He speaks of the constant stimulation of the body-mind that people are involved in and how this is a block to noticing Reality Prior to the separate self. He admonishes devotees to practice and thus deal with the bondage that is the human condition.tags: Avataric Discourse

It cannot be achieved through sex, science, or even religion.

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.

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.tags: Radical Truth Audio Seriesdoubt

The Five Reality-Teachings poster: RadiantlyHappy length: 05:27 date added: December 13, 2011 language: English views: 5861; views this month: 42; views this week: 28 Words by Avatar Adi Da Samraj (below).
You are not the one who wakes, or dreams, or sleeps.
You Are the actionless and formless Mere Witness of the three common states — of waking, dreaming and sleeping — and of all the apparent contents and “experiences” associated with the three common states, of waking, and of dreaming, and of sleeping.
You are not the body, or the doer of action, or the doer of even any of the body’s actions or functions.
You are not the mind, or the thinker, or the doer of even any of the actions or functions of mind or of body-mind.
No matter what arises — whether as or in the state of waking, or of dreaming, or of sleeping — you Are the actionless, and formless, and thought-free Mere Witness of attention itself, and of every apparent “object” of attention, and of any and every state of “experience”, and of the entirety of whatever and all that arises.
Always intensively “consider” these Five Reality-Teachings.
Always intensively observe and notice every moment of your “experience” — whether waking, dreaming, or sleeping — and, thus and thereby, “consider” and test and directly prove these Five Reality-Teachings in the moment-to-moment of your every kind and state of “experience”.
