The actual “ancestral
sock” has been hanging on
Avatar Adi Da’s family tree for close
to a century. The sock was first put on the family
tree for Beloved Adi Da’s mother’s very
first Christmas, in 1915. From the time
He was an infant, the sock was always on
the tree at His Grandpa and Aunt Minnie’s
house where He went every Christmas Eve.
His grandfather eventually passed it on to His mother,
and she then passed it on to Beloved Adi Da in 1975. It has been the
first ornament to go on His tree each year ever since!
Adi Da Samraj has said about the “ancestral sock”:
I said I would Give you what I have been given. And, in the scheme of human things, what I have received is an empty sock. So all I can say is, “This is That, And That I Am.” This empty sock will do. It is both and neither that transcends all. Its Emptiness transcends all. Its Emptiness is entirely Full. Its “inside” Emptiness is only Empty of what is “outside”. But since it is open-ended, there is no “difference”. It is entirely Full. It is not “empty”. The insubstantial Self is Full.
For a full description of the season of “Light-in-Everybody” and its tradition of the “ancestral sock”, please read The Danavira Mela Book, by Naamleela Free Jones.
This replica “ancestral sock” is hand sewn, hand dyed, with two bells. It measures approximately 10 inches long.
