Adi Da speaks about the use of the internet as a means of Sighting Him and practicing in His Company.
He speaks of the constant stimulation of the body-mind that people are involved in and how this is a block to noticing Reality Prior to the separate self. He admonishes devotees to practice and thus deal with the bondage that is the human condition.

In this talk excerpt, Adi Da addresses the fact that Truth or God-Realization is not dependent on, nor does it have anything to do with, the functions and activities of the body-mind. It cannot be achieved through sex, science, or even religion.
This excerpt is from the DVD, Beyond Sex, Science and "self". Subtitles in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Czech, and Hebrew. Also available as a CD.

In this podcast, which is drawn from two talks and a recitation from Adi Da's Teaching, Avatar Adi Da brings His unique clarity and offers commentary on the commercialization of religion. He describes how the consumer mentality has infiltrated the area of religion. We hear from the media and the popular psyche that you can buy religion and become "spiritual" without real change — and Adi Da points out how this presumption is false. Adi Da contasts consumer religion with true religion.

In this excerpt (from an Avataric Discourse from 2005), a devotee asks Adi Da a question about the nature of the ego and what is causing the sense of self-separation. In response, Adi Da describes how the Divine is the substance of all that arises, not the "cause" of anything. Our own activity (of separating from the Divine) causes the assumption of separation.

In this discourse, Adi Da addresses the fact that the assumption of a separate self or being, is not really the case. It is in fact an illusion and a "lie" that rules our entire life.
This is an excerpt from a longer evening of consideration with Adi Da (October 29, 2004), which can be found on the DVD, The Quest For The Historical Self.
This talk excerpt is followed by a clip of Darshan of Adi Da (at 7:08).

This is an excerpt from the DVD, Locate What Is Real, an Avataric Discourse given by Adi Da on October 10, 2004.
On the full DVD: * Adi Da describes how Reality is the true “first experience” for everyone — more fundamental to existence than identification with the apparently “born” being. * He speaks about how music and other arts can function as extensions of Spirituality. * He talks about Ramana Maharshi and the sixth stage orientation, in contrast to His seventh stage Reality-Way. * He addresses a devotee’s experience of emotional trauma, and how such events can affect one’s life. * He describes His own Submission, in His early life, to the process of Christian mystical experience.
In December 1983, two months after Adi Da's arrival at Adi Da Samrajashram (on the island of Naitauba in Fiji), an accident occurred that would have been fatal without Avatar Adi Da's Intervention. The story of that incident is told by two people: Frans Bakker, one of the doctors involved; and Tom Closser, the devotee to whom the accident occurred, who describes his near-death experience, and a profound lesson about how "guilt" can become a self-destructive impediment to growth.

You are not the one who wakes, or dreams, or sleeps.
You Are the actionless and formless Mere Witness of the three common states — of waking, dreaming and sleeping — and of all the apparent contents and “experiences” associated with the three common states, of waking, and of dreaming, and of sleeping.
You are not the body, or the doer of action, or the doer of even any of the body’s actions or functions.
You are not the mind, or the thinker, or the doer of even any of the actions or functions of mind or of body-mind.
No matter what arises — whether as or in the state of waking, or of dreaming, or of sleeping — you Are the actionless, and formless, and thought-free Mere Witness of attention itself, and of every apparent “object” of attention, and of any and every state of “experience”, and of the entirety of whatever and all that arises.
Always intensively “consider” these Five Reality-Teachings.
Always intensively observe and notice every moment of your “experience” — whether waking, dreaming, or sleeping — and, thus and thereby, “consider” and test and directly prove these Five Reality-Teachings in the moment-to-moment of your every kind and state of “experience”.

Tom Williams, a former Presbyterian minister and longtime devotee of Avatar Adi Da, tells the story of how he "fell in love with God". He describes how he moved from an ordinary childhood, to study for the ministry, to despair that his faith and his service had failed to deepen his relationship to God. In a personal crisis, he became a pastoral counselor and then a marriage and family counselor — before finally finding the books of Avatar Adi Da and at last receiving the gift of sighting his Heart-Master at the "Love of the God-Man" celebration in northern California in 1984.
