We Are Waiting (video)

Darshan of Adi Da, accompanied by Adi Da's recitation of His poem, "We are waiting for something to happen to this", from Crazy Da Must Sing.


We are waiting for something to happen to this.
Outside the Heart, there is only confusion and fear.
All of this has become unnecessary, unequal to the Truth.
Knowing this something force of our existence.
We think that true appearance is in another drastic place.
Seeing this dilemma and the something powerful implied somehow within it and around.
There is only in the solution in the satisfactions elsewhere.
Unless something happens to all of this.

Therefore, men have tussled with the two hands of adventure.
Either to turn an extraordinary something here.
Or else to make unusual escapes into another power, another timed, or timeless place.
This is the whole account of man.

But there is a possibility between these means.
There is another understanding, another adventure.
If only we understand the harm in which we act.
The origin of all this fearful desperation.
The ordinary term in which we view the thing itself.
There is a prime dilemma formed within the mind that sees the world and turns away.
That turns away and turns within the life, but always turns upon the pivot of a single doubt.
Within this doubt, two arms of possibility enlarge the man.
One intends the world, intending magnificent life, ending in perfect happiness.
One intends another life, more than life itself, beginning and ending in perfect truth.
Therefore he sees all things in double terms.
In opposites and contradictions, high and low.
And he makes final appearance in neither kind.
But forever agonizes the play of his dilemma until he dies.
This is the kind he seems.

But one who understands, is free of doubt.
He sees the world the same.
The mind in which he sees the world is single as the Heart.
He does not act upon the wheel evolving and involved, two forces on a spike.
He always understands the source-ful act that turns men in and out.
This is what he always does.
But others act upon the thing he understands.
Therefore, he is not in trouble.
This is the only mood of his adventure.
What should he wait to happen?
Where should he go?
What elsewhere? What event?
All the places are a single world for him.
Where others go, where others wait is all a single field of single action and no trouble.
Therefore, neither high nor low, unmoved from the beginning, not turned, he stands as the Heart.
This is understanding.
And the image of His life.

Darshan (or Sacred Sighting of the Guru) is a particularly potent occasion in which devotees focus on the Divine Revelation that Adi Da is Spiritually Transmitting. (A video recording like this one, of a Darshan occasion, also Spiritually Transmits.) The occasion is usually silent, but is occasionally accompanied by devotees chanting. In some occasions, you may see Adi Da scanning above the heads of the devotees present, working to draw His Divine Light down into each devotee. (ADI DA: "I am alive as Amrita Nadi, the Heart and its spire, the 'Bright' or Conscious Light. This is always so. When I come to you, I Intensify the Field of Brightness, the field of uncreated Light that rests above your head and which is drawn down into the body when the mind is formless in the Heart. Whenever I have been with you I have done this from the Heart. The communication of the Heart and its Light are my constant practice.") You may also hear devotees blowing the sacred conch, at the beginning and end of a Darshan occasion, to let everyone know of the Sighting of the Guru. Often, near the end of an occasion, Adi Da will bless a bowl of prasad (often dates, or something similar that is sweet and edible), which is then distributed to everyone present. At the end of a Darshan occasion, you may also see devotees prostrating on the ground in gratitude for the Revelation their Guru just granted them. Adi Da describes Darshan as "the fundamental principle" of Spiritual Realization in this video talk excerpt. Over time, through constant meditation on the Revelation being transmitted by the Realizer, The Realizer's Realization is duplicated in the devotee.
