Adi Da has perfectly explained the supposed "egoic" nature of some of his actions. Truthfully, this can't be accepted by a thinking mind. The incoming bliss and love makes it understandable. I'm guilty of misunderstanding what he is talking about, but now that I do understand, it is incredibly freeing. It all is perfectly simple and beautiful. Such an understanding is not possible from the contracting and darkened ego.
Talk less. Surrender Feeling-Attention To The Divine Heart Master, Adi Da Samraj and be Purified of "point of view". This Gives Agency To The Radiant Divine Heart Who Is The One And Only Being.
Perhaps, but there are other just as realized gurus that have maintained ego as a finite strucure. According to transpersonal psychology, Adi Da is crazy(in mostly positive meaning of the word) but very wise and realized truely unique, as he has the ability to be egoic and transegoic and realized and enlightened at the same time. BTW, that energy thing he talked about - that's quiite universal - in China, India and I guess everywhere else, the energy channels are described quite like that.
The more you read of see of Adi Da, you realise that He is pretty unique! That's been my experience, anyway. I've been around many Masters and Gurus, and Adi Da was the one that blew me away completely. I really feel that He is the only one that was (is) really complete, and completely egoless.
It's hard to see that on video, but in person, what you see coming out of His eyes isn't ego, it's the heart of the Universe itself.
please understand what ego is. And then understand what this elf-contraction does to the body and the mind. Then realize how the body and the mind live without this self-contraction. A big ego, a small ego, no such thing. Ego prevents the body and the mind from being ALIVE as God intended/intends. Realize that you are doing self-contraction, ie that you are doing ego. EGO IS AN ACTIVITY NOT A SOMETHING. The results of this activity is separation, separative acts that is sin, devoid of God
Form is partial without emptiness... Therefore when an ego identifies with orm (his bodymind, and such), then he identifies with soething partial, not with all of manifest and unmanifest as the nondal or nothing or suchness.
In the absolute way you are right. Everything is not separate. But relatively speaking, identification takes place, suffering, activities, negation of the presen moment. Paradoxically, all is. A psyche has a capacity or quality to contract and self-differentiate or let go. Ego is a structure, and just as illusory as the rest of the relative world. The absolute, IS ness. "God and I are one, times moon times star times sun." - Saul Williams. An illusion can identify with other illusions!
what is the sure way that I have identified with something? Taking something personal? becoming emotional about something? Am I identifying with these words that I type? am I these words? Am i my fingers? etc etc etc
@MaBu888 Witness is not these same things, That is what makes the practice effective. All is witnessed 'over against' this consciousness, all these 'things' are seen as illusion, then, and the witness is not seen as another little droplet of the endlessly modified display of Maya, but as the Witness of all.
"am I these words? Am i my fingers? etc etc etc" - this is the border, beyond which 'you' are not or are everything and nothing or are everthing as suchness.
OK, that's good. I just wanted to follow up and make sure. :-)
There will be more stuff coming soon I hope, we're working on getting more people to post their own stories, and some more videos of discourses from Adi Da.
Chandirah, no matter which Adi Da video from your channel favourites that I try to play, nothing happens except the little dotted circle keeps spinning around on a black screen! What's up with that! ? I was hoping to transfer some of His talks to my own list of favourites, looks like it is not possible, so I'll have to delete them now. Please can you answer me on my mail page when you can? Thanks.
Guys, that is being addressed. A little bird told me there will be more soon! Thanks so much for the feedback, and your interest!! :-) I might have some things to post also that are a bit better quality. Watch this space.
I've just been reading about the events of January 11, 1986... do you have any talks that date from this period? It seems that some great change happened at this time...

Adi Da, arose and self-liberated.

I think Adida's ego has expanded to the size of his soul, making him a paradoxically enlightened and egoic guru, simultaneously.

That's the problem with thinking.. ;-)

Ego is the activity of self-contraction and partial identitifcation with something partial...
MaBu888 2 years ago
really?
how do you know about this identification?

how can 'something' that doesnt exist identify with something? there is no such thing as an ego. ego is an activity

happygolucky2000 2 years ago
Yeah it is complicated. Illusions play with illusions. But what is the witness if not these same things . . . witness melts into its play.

There are four main states. Gross, sublte, causal (witness), nondual. You're right of course.

It's obvious that I've realized the circle of subtle energy as described in this video.

You can't even find the couple of long vids of Da speaking like ya used to.
Eckhart Tolle and everyones favorite fortune cookie sayings are available more than this great teachers teachings.
Hello this is the way we access information nowadays!
Shame on Adidam for dropping the ball so badly on this.

Hopefully the new videos are something you're watching? Please check out Adidam Videos and Realityway. :-)

Yeah I'm all over Realityway and the podcasts, etc. I've seen and heard everything available on the net I'm sure.
