With penetrating compassion, Avatar Adi Da leads His listeners through a concentrated feeling-inspection of the core sense of being separate from everything and everyone. Avatar Adi Da elaborates on the analogy of “pinching one’s self” as an illustration of this painful act of egoic self-contraction.
You are pinching yourself. You are doing this contraction, whole bodily, altogether.... The stress you say you are feeling is the result of that. It is not a result of anything going on in the room or going on in your life at this moment. It is a result of this act you are engaging without inspecting it.
—Avatar Adi Da Samraj
Avatar Adi Da shows that through persistent, in-depth inspection—and through feeling-sensitivity to Him as the Radiant Force of Non-separateness—it is possible to discover that you are doing this core stress, you are contracting into separateness, in every moment. This discovery, Avatar Adi Da says, is true “self”-understanding.
Avatar Adi Da asserts that the Non-separate Condition is not something to be attained at a later time, after a lot of practice, or by trying to understand yourself. Rather, it is an Awakening that occurs spontaneously. Recognizing and responding to Avatar Adi Da, at heart, and true self-understanding are the requirements.
