An excerpt from Track 2 ("Understand Your Un-Happiness") of the CD, The Location of Happiness, a Discourse given by Avatar Adi Da on November 28, 1981.

In this Discourse, Avatar Adi Da describes the Nature of True Happiness and how it can be Realized moment to moment — not through seeking but through whole bodily Communion with the One Who Is Happiness. Formerly titled "The Bodily Location of Happiness", this updated edition of the CD is remastered and expanded, with 13 additional minutes of content.

An excerpt from Track 3 (entitled "Realization Has No self") of the CD, You Can Get There From Here.

The famous punch line "You can't get there from here" is Avatar Adi Da's starting point for this engaging Discourse. He uses this humorous paradox to perfectly crystallize the condition of all who are caught in the trap of seeking.

"The 'self' can't get to God", Avatar Adi Da clarifies, because the act that generates the sense of "self" is the act of recoil from the Divine. Life is rightly lived not by concentrating on "fixing" this recoil but as the feeling-embrace of the requirements and conditions of existence. And Avatar Adi Da offers the Way "out" of the trap of "self" -and-"other": Locate the supreme attractiveness of His Radiant Divine State, and "self" is dissolved in "Brightness".

Tässä otteessa puheesta vuodelta 2004, Avatar Adi Da käsittelee sitä, että Adidam Ruchiradamin Todellisuus-Tie ei perustu uskomuksiin tai tekniikoihin, jotka tavoittelevat itsensä parantamista, hallintaa tai toteutusta "lopputuloksena". Sen sijaan, vaistonomainen tai sanaton tunnistus Avatar Adi Da Samrajin Olotilasta annetaan heti, kun yhteys Häneen muodostuu. Siitä lähtien, Tie avautuu itsensä todistavana heräämisprosessina, joka paljastuu joka hetkellä, kun olento tunnistaa Adi Dan Jumalaisen Läsnäolon ja Tilan. Sen pohjalta yksilö liikuttuu kääntymään sydämellään Avatar Adi Dan puoleen Tietoisen Valon Vapauttavana Olentona ja Läsnäolona.

This video excerpt, "Adidamin Tie ei perustu uskomuksiin" ("The Way of Adidam Is Not About Beliefs") is from an Avataric Discourse given by Adi Da Samraj at Adi Da Samrajashram, on October 20, 2004.

In this excerpt, Avatar Adi Da speaks to the fact that The Reality Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is not a system of beliefs or techniques for seeking self-improvement, mastery, or realization as an “end result”. Rather, intuitive or tacit recognition of Avatar Adi Da’s State of Being is given from the initial contact with Him. From then, the Way unfolds as a self-authenticating process of awakening that is revealed in each moment of recognition of Adi Da’s Divine Presence and State. On that basis, one is heart-moved to turn to Avatar Adi Da as the Liberating Being and Presence of Conscious Light.

This is an excerpt from track 1 (“Seeking is the Pursuit of Union”) of the CD, Real self-Understanding Is Right Now, available from The Dawn Horse Press.

On the CD is a seminal Discourse on self-understanding given by Adi Da on April 8, 1993. In this Discourse, Adi Da calls all those inclined to Realize True Freedom to first recognize the failure of their search — which is based on the illusion of separation. Rather than engaging the ordinary pursuit of union with all others and things from which we feel separate, Avatar Adi Da says we must find out that our inherent Condition is one of Perfect Non-separation.

ADI DA: You are doing this contraction. The stress you say you are feeling is the result of that. . . The more you feel that you yourself are doing it, the more it relaxes. . . You are, as it relaxes, directly surrendered, truly forgetting yourself, entering into the Field of Non-Separateness — which is My Very Nature, Condition, Sign, Demonstration, Transmission.

An audio excerpt from the new CD, The Knowledge Of Light, from The Dawn Horse Press.

In the early months of 1985, Avatar Adi Da was residing at His Hermitage-Island in Fiji, working intensively to complete the first edition of His Supreme Scriptural Text, The Dawn Horse Testament. Avatar Adi Da began this occasion by reciting a newly written essay, which He subsequently added to The Dawn Horse Testament — and then spoke at length about the import of the essay.

In this Discourse, Avatar Adi Da invites everyone to consider the implications of the common understanding that everything — all that you see, hear, breathe, taste, smell, feel — is energy, or light. Rather than suggesting yet another method of seeking within the infinite forms of experienced light, Avatar Adi Da Offers (and Is) the direct Transmission of Light — which Reveals Itself to be the Self-Radiant Bliss of Consciousness Itself.

ADI DA: The most intimate presumption, the real presumption — that all this is Light — should be sufficient to make your hair stand on end. Real Communion with Light, or True Baptism — founded on “self” understanding — produces ecstasy, profound transformation of the being, liberates you from all of your egoic psychology.
