The Knowledge of Light (CD)

A Discourse Given by His Divine Presence

The most intimate presumption, the real presumption—that all this is Light—should be sufficient to make your hair stand on end. Real Communion with Light, or True Baptism—founded on “self” understanding—produces ecstasy, profound transformation of the being, liberates you from all of your egoic psychology.

Tend the Sacred Fire of Guru-Devotion (CD)

Two Discourses Given by His Divine Presence, Avatar Adi Da Samraj

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.

True Prayer Is A Process of Ecstasy (CD)

A Discourse Given By His Divine Prescence,
Avatar Adi Da Samraj
October 4, 1980

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.
