The bottom line: If you want to feel good, you have to learn how to feel good!
ADI DA: Somehow in the midst of this round of existence you realize that you can feel a lot better than you now feel, that you can feel absolutely blissful, that you can love absolutely, that you can be absolutely free. But feeling blissful stands in contrast to your common state. You are addicted to reactive emotion, low levels of energy, gross fixations of attention, psycho-physical obstruction. You are addicted to countless programs that are less than love. In every moment your attention is moving toward one or another object, and your feeling in every moment is an expression of the program of mind into which you are locked in that moment.
Now, what have you learned in your whole life? Have you learned to feel perfectly? To feel absolutely? Did you ever go through a period of study in which you learned to feel to Infinity, to feel Absolute Divinity? No, you learned all the reactive patterns of life, all the desires for ordinary things. You knew them even before you became familiar with them again in this body. You cannot feel any better than you can feel, and you are addicted to feeling less than love, to being less than ecstasy.

Tässä aiemmin julkaisemattomassa keskustelussa Adi Da puhuu positiivisesta harhojen haihtumisesta ja sen tarpeellisuudesta kuolevaisen elämän parissa. Positiivinen harhojen haihtuminen ilmenee, kun yksilö alkaa ymmärtää rasittavaa ja lopulta turhaa etsintäänsä, jossa hän hakee jatkoa elämälleen, maailmallista onnea, ja lopullista elämän täyttymystä — ja alkaa myös luopua siitä. Vain silloin yksilö voi alkaa huomioimaan, oppimaan, ja ekstaattisesti osallistumaan Itse Todellisuuteen, suhteessa Aitoon Toteuttajaan.
In this excerpt from an Avataric Discourse, Adi Da speaks about the necessity to become disillusioned with mortal life in a positive sense. Positive disillusionment is emerging when one begins to understand and relinquish the stressful and ultimately futile search for personal survival, worldly happiness, and ultimate life fulfillment. Only then can one be drawn into recognizing, learning about, and ecstatically participating in Reality Itself, in relationship to a True Realizer.
ADI DA: The teaching of Truth is for those who are disillusioned in the positive sense, who have been sobered in their lives by grasping the nature of existence and being cured of search.

A simple, direct confession from Adi Da about the fact that His State of Perfect, Eternal Happiness is our own True Condition and State. Accompanied by pictures of Adi Da.
ADI DA: I am your Real State — Real Condition — speaking to you, being present with you through a form like your own. I'm not merely suggesting all this is so, logically so, communicating this as a metaphor. I am this. This is My Realization. This is My State. I am telling this to you because it is also your State. I am here in this form to make this communication to you and this Transmission to you so that you will realize that State.

Rozhovor, ve kterém nás Adi Da vede k velmi střízlivému pohledu na fakt, že to, kam dáváme pozornost během života, ovlivňuje naši pozornost a osud po smrti.
In this sobering video excerpt, "Co se děje po smrti závisí na tom, jak žijete" ("What happens after death depends on how you live"), Adi Da speaks of the condition after death in which mind determines one's circumstance, without the limitations of the body, brain and unconsciousness. He addresses the fact that where one's attention is fixed during life affects attention and destiny after life. He recommends that devotees direct their attention to sadhana so that the purification process gives one wisdom that frees one from karmic limitations.
This talk is published as "After Death, Mind Makes You", in the book, Easy Death.

"Il sé Separato è un'illusione" ("The separate self 'I' is an Illusion") is a video excerpt from an Avataric Discourse given by Adi Da on July 7, 2005 in Land Bridge Pavilion at The Mountain Of Attention.
Adi Da Samraj speaks about the action of self-contraction, which creates the sense of being a "separate self" - whereas, in Reality, no matter what arises, you are only and merely the Witness Consciousness.
This talk is from the first occasion in many years in which Avatar Adi Da spoke directly to a gathering of His devotees in California. Questions from devotees about intimate, familial, and social issues are met with Avatar Adi Da's Compassion and Humor, as well as His Liberating Wisdom.

There is a “logic” or “philosophy” by which human beings convince themselves they are unloved and separated from the Source of existence. Identifying with the food-body and its inevitable mortality, people are anxious and lose the connection with True Sustenance. The principle of true human existence and happiness is discovery and recognition of the inherent state of non-separation, which is native and perfectly sustaining to all life.
