Spoken Word of Adi Da Samraj

Using the Shamanistic traditions of North America to illustrate right relationship to the invisible, energy realms of existence, Avatar Adi Da urgently calls everyone to overcome the addiction to the false doctrine of materialism. Free and full participation in the energy dimension of existence, Avatar Adi Da says, provides the necessary foundation for restoring balance to the Earth-world, and for ecstatic embrace of the Reality-Realizing Process in His Divine Company.

In this unique compilation, His Divine Presence Avatar Adi Da communicates His urgent Calling to all human beings: to recognize the inherent unity of humankind, and to accept cooperative responsibility for the world-circumstance on that basis. Avatar Adi Da further invites all to fully participate in the transformation of humankind by embracing a life of ego-transcending practice (sadhana)—in response to His direct Transmission of Love-Bliss-Happiness that Transcends the illusion of separateness.

Excerpt from Track #1: Garabage and The Goddess

In this discourse Avatar Adi Da calls all those inclined to Realize True Freedom to first recognize the failure of their search—which is based on the illusion of separation. Rather than engaging the ordinary pursuit of union with all others and things from which we feel separate, Avatar Adi Da says we must find out that our inherent Condition is one of Perfect Non-separation. 

Conditional existence is a great sacrifice, and you must become a participant in it. But you must accept it to begin with. You must allow your confinement to it—through “self”-discipline, through True Yoga . . . —such that you become universally sensitized, Divinely sensitized, and go Beyond.

vatar Adi Da describes two dimensions of truly effective prayer: ecstasy and responsibility. If you surrender into the Living Divine Reality through ecstasy—and responsibly purify and balance body, emotion, mind, and breath—then you will inevitably participate in the positive transformation of personal and collective existence.

If you enter into True Prayer, . . . things will work to the good. Not because God likes people who do this sort of thing and rewards them—but because of the Law, because of the Nature of the Divine, because of the Condition of this phenomenon of human existence. It is a psycho-physical phenomenon, therefore it is responsive to psycho-physical changes. . . .

Of course, this is not an end in itself. It is simply an extension of the life of God- Communion—which is “self”-transcending and, ultimately, transcends the “world” altogether.
