Remember the first darshan. New Years day, '77 at Polk st. before the bookstore burned in March . I didn't take it like he took the look from Rang Avadhoot in '68. But he delivered such a "Presence" that my social personality was way out to lunch!
It's gonna take 'some time' for the world to come up to speed. But He didn't come here for anything less.
so succinct, so exact, so beautifully said. Adi Da not only says the right words, but there is no righteousness, no arrogance,,no separation from Him. He is so intmate and loving in all that he does. He is most definitly the Great Master of all time.
@godcures Well we have not met siddhartha, lao tsu, christ, or any of the past realizers so how could one say really? Who is the most integrated with the physical body and not just the transcendental? Does there have to be the "most realized"?? Or can there be realizers with different personalities and attributes?? that is silly and non necessary to say there is the greatest realizer. if you know who you are.. you know who you are and shine in all you do... still human and eat and poo
ZET- That saying about killing the Buddha on the street is purely metaphorical and is misunderstood. Is it inciting violence? No. If someone had killed the Buddha before He revealed His wisdom, there would be no Buddhism. About the 'guy' thing-. When you refer to your mother, you don't point and say 'her, yea that one'. You show her the respect she deserves because you love her. Adi Da is my Master. We, His students love Him. He Is the ego-less Divine State.
It is important that he says:' You will not be in a position to receive this gift until you are surrendered.' He does not say:' This gift is not given to you until you have surrendered.'
The difference is absolutely critical. What is the gift? It is the ability to witness reality as it is, as the Divine, without the intercession of ego and its logic of separation.Ego surrendered, bliss may enter and the ever-given gift may be received. One's own action prevents that.
This happens by submitting one's life and personality to the Person and Teaching of Adi Da Samraj, and living by His Instruction alone. Recognition of Him and whole bodily response to Him are the inspiration and mover of this transformation in our lives... A yearning for freedom and humor. Listen to Him. See how He Is!
Parama-Sapta-Na Adi Da left his human body on Nov 27th, 2008. But His Personal Presence and Blessing are very much Present! You will undoubtably feel the "Thumbs" as you keep turning your attention to Him with the love you say you're feeling. Feel free to ask any further questions...
Joshrain1, I was gonna say - what I said earlier is just a theoretical outline of the process, and I'm in no position to say how His Grace will work in your case... Besides, the Gift you speak of is not something to 'get', but you will see it active in your life, acting beyond your separative logic, miraculous - if you listen to Parama-Sapta-Na deeply with your feeling heart.
Wow! I am very critical in this type of understanding, and I mean seriously critical, but this guy never stops stealing the words from my mouth. Astonding. But even realization can be a thing of ego if we view the realization with plesure or revoltion. And often we claim the revalation. Not to bash but I belive he has made this mistake of claiming revalation - the grace of divinity. We must understand we will never ever be "enlightened" and be OK with it - be OK with who we are. WeAreAlwaysWhole
Does that bother you? Is just using the word "guy" putting this speaker down.
We can all realize our own ego is really an illusion but when we still believe in upholding someone else's ego (saying a speaker, no matter how much worth you get from their words, must not be labelled with the word "guy"), isn't that the same thing?
It is said 'if you meet the Buddha on the path, kill him". Making idols on pedestals whether they be teachers, statues or thoughts is misleading
Dude, learn to spell before you start spouting your wisdom. Otherwise, you just come across as ignorant and boring. With proper spelling you would just be boring.
But!!! What about all those saints past and present, what to say of all those devotees of those saints who have a "attained" Liberation, through methods and techniques???? Every enlightened Being seems to have their own unique revelation of the Truth and its presentation..........
"You're looking at your self, and you cannot see what is in front of your eyes". That one line is the entire Dharma, and when understood, you don't worry about the 'other' beings, they are all One Being, Who you are, Who Adi Da Is.
All the saints, past and present, every Enlightened being, is That. That's the Realization.

Techniques impact the body-mind by making it more sattvic, but that final transcendence is grace alone.

He's not saying others have not "attained" meriprem. He's saying the fullness of grace can only be realized, as opposed to sought.
