First Word
Do Not Misunderstand Me—
I Am Not "Within" you,
but you Are In Me,

in the "Middle" of Mankind,

Adi Da's Essay, First Word, appears at the beginning
of many of His Source Texts.
Yes! There is no religion, no Way of God, no
Way of Divine Realization, no Way of Enlightenment, and
no Way of Liberation that is Higher or Greater than Truth
Itself. Indeed, there is no religion, no science,
no man or woman, no conditionally manifested being
of any kind, no world (any "where"), and no "God"
(or "God"-Idea) that is Higher or Greater than Truth Itself.
Therefore, no ego-"I" — no presumed separate
(and, necessarily, actively separative, and, at best, only Truth-seeking)
being or "thing" — is (itself) Higher or Greater than Truth
Itself. And no ego-"I" is (itself) even Equal to
Truth Itself. And no ego-"I" is (itself) even (now, or
ever) Able to Realize Truth Itself — because, necessarily,
Truth (Itself) Inherently Transcends (or Is That Which
Is Higher and Greater than) every one (himself
or herself) and every "thing" (itself). Therefore,
it is only in the transcending of egoity itself—only in
the "radical" Process of Going Beyond the root, the cause, and
the act of presumed separateness, and of performed separativeness,
and of even all ego-based seeking for Truth Itself — that
Truth (Itself) Is Realized (As It Is, Utterly
Beyond the ego-"I" itself).
Truth (Itself) Is That Which Is Always
Already The Case. That Which Is The Case (Always, and Always
Already) Is (necessarily) Reality. Therefore, Reality (Itself)
Is Truth, and Reality (Itself) Is the Only Truth.
Reality (Itself)
Is the Only, and (necessarily) Non-Separate (or all-and-All-Including,
and all-and-All-Transcending), One and "What" That Is. Because
It Is all-and-All—and because It Is (Also) That Which Transcends
(or Is Higher and Greater than) all-and-All—Reality Itself (Which
Is Truth Itself, or That Which Is Always, and Always Already,
The Case) Is the One and Only Real God. Therefore, Reality (Itself)
Is (necessarily) the One and Great Subject of true religion, and
Reality (Itself) Is (necessarily) the One and Great Way of Real
God, Real (and True) Divine Realization, Real (and, necessarily,
Divine) En-Light-enment, and Real (and, necessarily, Divine) Liberation
(from all egoity, all separateness, all separativeness, all fear,
and all heartlessness).
The only true religion is the religion that
Realizes Truth. The only true science is the science that Knows
Truth. The only true man or woman (or being of any kind) is one
that Surrenders to Truth. The only true world is one that Embodies
Truth. And the only True (and Real) God Is the One Reality (or
Condition of Being) That Is Truth. Therefore, Reality Itself (Which
Is the One and Only Truth, and, therefore, necessarily, the One
and Only Real God) must become (or be made) the constantly applied
Measure of religion, and of science, and of the world itself,
and of even all of the life (and all of the mind) of Man—or else
religion, and science, and the world itself, and even any and
every sign of Man inevitably (all, and together) become a pattern
of illusions, a mere (and even terrible) "problem", the very (and
even principal) cause of human seeking, and the perpetual cause
of contentious human strife. Indeed, if religion, and science,
and the world itself, and the total life (and the total mind)
of Man are not Surrendered and Aligned to Reality (Itself), and
(Thus) Submitted to be Measured (or made Lawful) by Truth (Itself),
and (Thus) Given to the truly devotional (and, thereby, truly
ego-transcending) Realization of That Which Is the Only Real God—then,
in the presumed "knowledge" of mankind, Reality (Itself), and
Truth (Itself), and Real God (or the One and Only Existence, or
Being, or Person That Is) ceases to Exist.
Aham Da Asmi. Beloved, I Am Da, the One and
Only Person Who Is. I Am the Avatarically Self-Revealed, and Eternally
Self-Existing, and Eternally Self-Radiant (or Spiritually Self-"Bright")
Person of Love-Bliss. I Am the One and Only and (Self-Evidently)
Divine Self (or Inherently Non-Separate—and, therefore, Inherently
egoless—Divine Self-Condition and Source-Condition) of one and
of all and of All. I Am Divinely Self-Manifesting (now, and forever
hereafter) As the Ruchira Avatar, Adi Da Samraj. I Am the Ruchira
Avatar, Adi Da Samraj—the Avataric Divine Realizer, the Avataric
Divine Revealer, the Avataric Divine Incarnation, and the Avataric
Divine Self-Revelation of Reality Itself. I Am the Avatarically
Incarnate Divine Realizer, the Avatarically Incarnate Divine Revealer,
and the Avatarically Incarnate Divine Self-Revelation of the One
and Only Reality—Which Is the One and Only Truth, and Which Is
the One and Only Real God. I Am the Great Avataric Divine Realizer,
Avataric Divine Revealer, and Avataric Divine Self-Revelation
long-Promised (and long-Expected) for the "late-time"—this (now,
and forever hereafter) time, the "dark" epoch of mankind's "Great
Forgetting" (and, potentially, the Great Epoch of mankind's Perpetual
Remembering) of Reality, of Truth, and of Real God (Which Is the
Great, True, and Spiritual Divine Person—or the One and Non-Separate
and Indivisible Divine Source-Condition and Self-Condition—of
all-and-All).
Beloved, I Am Da, the Divine Giver, the Giver
(of All That I Am) to one, and to all, and to the All of all—now,
and forever hereafter—here, and every "where" in the cosmic domain.
Therefore, for the Purpose of Revealing the Way of Real God (or
of Real and True Divine Realization), and in order to Divinely
En-Light-en and Divinely Liberate all-and-All—I Am (Uniquely,
Completely, and Most Perfectly) Avatarically Revealing My Very
(and Self-Evidently Divine) Person (and Spiritually "Bright" Self-Condition)
to all-and-All, by Means of My Avatarically Given Divine Self-Manifestation,
As (and by Means of) the Ruchira Avatar, Adi Da Samraj.
In My Avatarically Given Divine Self-Manifestation
As the Ruchira Avatar, Adi Da Samraj—I Am the Divine Secret, the
Divine Self-Revelation of the Esoteric Truth, the Direct, and
all-Completing, and all-Unifying Self-Revelation of Real God.
My Avatarically Given Divine Self-Confessions
and My Avatarically Given Divine Teaching-Revelations Are the
Great (Final, and all-Completing, and all-Unifying) Esoteric Revelation
to mankind—and not a merely exoteric (or conventionally religious,
or even ordinary Spiritual, or ego-made, or so-called "cultic")
communication to public (or merely social) ears.
The greatest opportunity, and the greatest
responsibility, of My devotees is Satsang with Me—Which is to
live in the Condition of ego-surrendering, ego-forgetting, and
(always more and more) ego-transcending devotional (and, in due
course, Spiritual) relationship to Me, and (Thus and Thereby)
to Realize My Avatarically Self-Revealed (and Self-Evidently Divine)
Self-Condition, Which Is the Self-Evidently Divine Heart (or Non-Separate
Self-Condition and Non-"Different" Source-Condition) of all-and-All,
and Which Is Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Consciousness Itself,
but Which is not separate in or as any one (or any "thing") at
all. Therefore, My essential Divine Gift to one and all is Satsang
with Me. And My essential Divine Work with one and all is Satsang-Work—to
Live (and to Be Merely Present) As the Avatarically Self-Revealed
Divine Heart among My devotees.
The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam
(or Adidam Ruchiradam)—Which is the One and Only by-Me-Revealed
and by-Me-Given Way of the Heart, or the only-by-Me Revealed and
Given Way of "Radical" Understanding, or Ruchira Avatara Siddha
Yoga—is the Way of Satsang with Me, the devotionally Me-recognizing
and (on that basis) devotionally to-Me-responding practice (and
ego-transcending self-discipline) of living in My constant Avataric
Divine Spiritual Company, such that the relationship with Me becomes
the Real (and constant) Condition of life.
Fundamentally, this Satsang with Me is the one
thing done by My devotees. Because the only-by-Me Revealed and
Given Way of Adidam is always (in every present-time moment) a
directly ego-transcending and Really Me-Finding practice, the
otherwise constant (and burdensome) tendency to seek is not exploited
in this Satsang with Me. And the essential work of the formal
(and formally acknowledged) worldwide gathering of My devotees
is to make ego-transcending Satsang with Me available to all others.
Everything that serves the availability of Satsang
with Me is (now, and forever hereafter) the responsibility of
the formal worldwide gathering of My formally practicing devotees.
I am not here to publicly "promote" this Satsang with Me. In the
intimate circumstances of My devotees' humanly expressed devotional
love of Me, I Speak My Avatarically Self-Revealing Divine Word
to My devotees, and they (because of their devotional response
to Me) bring My Avatarically Self-Revealing Divine Word to all
others. Therefore, even though I am not (and have never been,
and never will be) a "public" Teacher (or a broadly publicly active,
and conventionally socially conformed, "religious figure"), My
devotees function fully and freely (as My devotees) in the daily
public world of ordinary life.
I Always Already Stand Free. Therefore, I have
always (in My Divine Avataric-Incarnation-Work) Stood Free, in
the "Crazy" (and non-conventional, or spontaneous and non-"public")
Manner—in order to Guarantee the Freedom, the Uncompromising Rightness,
and the Fundamental Integrity of My Avatarically Self-Manifested
Divine Teaching (Work and Word), and in order to Freely and Fully
and Fully Effectively Perform My universal (Avatarically Self-Manifested)
Divine Spiritual Blessing-Work. I Am Present (now, and forever
hereafter) to Divinely Serve, Divinely En-Light-en, and Divinely
Liberate those who accept the Eternal Vow and all the life-responsibilities
(or the full and complete practice) associated with the only-by-Me
Revealed and Given Way of Adidam. Because I Am (Thus) Given to
My formally and fully practicing devotees, I do not Serve a "public"
role, and I do not Work in a "public" (or even a merely "institutionalized")
manner. Nevertheless—now, and forever hereafter—I constantly Bless
all beings, and this entire world, and the total cosmic domain.
And all who feel My Avatarically (and universally) Given Divine
Spiritual Blessing, and who heart-recognize Me with true devotional
love, are (Thus) Called to devotionally resort to Me—but only
if they approach Me in the traditional devotional manner, as responsibly
practicing (and truly ego-surrendering, and rightly Me-serving)
members (or, in some, unique, cases, as invited guests) of the
formal worldwide gathering of My formally practicing devotees.
I expect this formal discipline of right devotional
approach to Me to have been freely and happily embraced by every
one who would enter into My physical Company. The natural human
reason for this is that there is a potential liability inherent
in all human associations. And the root and nature of that potential
liability is the ego (or the active human presumption of separateness,
and the ego-act of human separativeness). Therefore, in order
that the liabilities of egoity are understood (and voluntarily
and responsibly disciplined) by those who approach Me, I Require
demonstrated right devotion (based on really effective self-understanding
and truly heart-felt devotional recognition of Me and, on that
basis, truly heart-felt devotional response to Me) as the basis
for any one's right to enter into My physical Company. And, in
this manner, not only the egoic tendency, but also the tendency
toward religious "cultism", is constantly undermined in the only-by-Me
Revealed and Given Way of Adidam.
Because people appear within this human condition,
this simultaneously attractive and frightening "dream" world,
they tend to live—and to interpret both the conditional (or cosmic
and psycho-physical) reality and the Unconditional (or Divine)
Reality—from the "point of view" of this apparent (and bewildering)
mortal human condition. And, because of this universal human bewilderment
(and the ongoing human reaction to the threatening force of mortal
life-events), there is an even ancient ritual that all human beings
rather unconsciously (or automatically, and without discriminative
understanding) desire and tend to repeatedly (and under all conditions)
enact. Therefore, wherever there is an association of human beings
gathered for any purpose (or around any idea, or symbol, or person,
or subject of any kind), the same human bewilderment-ritual is
tending to be enacted by one and all.
Human beings always tend to encircle (and, thereby,
to contain—and, ultimately, to entrap and abuse, or even to blithely
ignore) the presumed "center" of their lives—a book, a person,
a symbol, an idea, or whatever. They tend to encircle the "center"
(or the "middle"), and they tend to seek to exclusively acquire
all "things" (or all power of control) for the circle (or toward
the "middle") of themselves. In this manner, the group becomes
an ego ("inward"-directed, or separate and separative)—just as
the individual body-mind becomes, by self-referring self-contraction,
the separate and separative ego-"I" ("inward"-directed, or ego-centric—and
exclusively acquiring all "things", or all power of control, for
itself). Thus, by self-contraction upon the presumed "center"
of their lives—human beings, in their collective ego-centricity,
make "cults" (or bewildered and frightened "centers" of power,
and control, and exclusion) in every area of life.
Anciently, the "cult"-making process was done,
most especially, in the political and social sphere—and religion
was, as even now, mostly an exoteric (or political and social)
exercise that was always used to legitimize (or, otherwise, to
"de-throne") political and social "authority-figures". Anciently,
the cyclically (or even annually) culminating product of this
exoteric religio-political "cult" was the ritual "de-throning"
(or ritual deposition) of the one in the "middle" (just as, even
in these times, political leaders are periodically "deposed"—by
elections, by rules of term and succession, by scandal, by slander,
by force, and so on).
Everywhere throughout the ancient world, traditional
societies made and performed this annual (or otherwise periodic)
religio-political "cult" ritual. The ritual of "en-throning" and
"de-throning" was a reflection of the human observation of the
annual cycle of the seasons of the natural world—and the same
ritual was a reflection of the human concern and effort to control
the signs potential in the cycle of the natural world, in order
to ensure human survival (through control of weather, harvests
and every kind of "fate", or even every fraction of existence
upon which human beings depend for both survival and pleasure,
or psycho-physical well-being). Indeed, the motive behind the
ancient agrarian (and, later, urbanized, or universalized) ritual
of the one in the "middle" was, essentially, the same motive that,
in the modern era, takes the form of the culture of scientific
materialism (and even all of the modern culture of materialistic
"realism"): It is the motive to gain (and to maintain) control,
and the effort to control even everything and everyone (via both
knowledge and gross power). Thus, the ritualized, or bewildered
yes/no (or desire/fear), life of mankind in the modern era is,
essentially, the same as that of mankind in the ancient days.
In the ancient ritual of "en-throning" and "de-throning",
the person (or subject) in the "middle" was ritually mocked, abused,
deposed, and banished—and a new person (or subject) was installed
in the "center" of the religio-political "cult". In the equivalent
modern ritual of dramatized ambiguity relative to everything and
everyone (and, perhaps especially, "authority-figures"), the person
(or symbol, or idea) in the "middle" (or that which is given power
by means of popular fascination) is first "cultified" (or made
much of), and then (progressively) doubted, mocked, and abused—until,
at last, all the negative emotions are (by culturally and socially
ritualized dramatization) dissolved, the "middle" (having thus
ceased to be fascinating) is abandoned, and a "new" person (or
symbol, or idea) becomes the subject of popular fascination (only
to be reduced, eventually, to the same "cultic" ritual, or cycle
of "rise" and "fall").
Just as in every other area of human life, the
tendency of all those who (in the modern era) would become involved
in religious or Spiritual life is also to make a "cult", a circle
that ever increases its separate and separative dimensions—beginning
from the "center", surrounding it, and (perhaps) even (ultimately)
controlling it (such that it altogether ceases to be effective,
or even interesting). Such "cultism" is ego-based, and ego-reinforcing—and,
no matter how "esoteric" it presumes itself to be, it is (as in
the ancient setting) entirely exoteric, or (at least) more and
more limited to (and by) merely social (and gross physical) activities
and conditions.
The form that every "cult" imitates is the pattern
of egoity (or the pattern that is the ego-"I") itself—the presumed
"middle" of every ordinary individual life. It is the self-contraction
(or the avoidance of relationship), which "creates" the fearful
sense of separate mind, and all the endless habits and motives
of egoic desire (or bewildered, and self-deluded, seeking). It
is what is, ordinarily, called (or presumed to be) the real and
necessary and only "life".
From birth, the human being (by reaction to
the blows and limits of psycho-physical existence) begins to presume
separate existence to be his or her very nature—and, on that basis,
the human individual spends his or her entire life generating
and serving a circle of ownership (or self-protecting acquisition)
all around the ego-"I". The egoic motive encloses all the other
beings it can acquire, all the "things" it can acquire, all the
states and thoughts it can acquire—all the possible emblems, symbols,
experiences, and sensations it can possibly acquire. Therefore,
when any human being begins to involve himself or herself in some
religious or Spiritual association (or, for that matter, any extension
of his or her own subjectivity), he or she tends again to "create"
that same circle about a "center".
The "cult" (whether of religion, or of politics,
or of science, or of popular culture) is a dramatization of egoity,
of separativeness, even of the entrapment and betrayal of the
"center" (or the "middle"), by one and all. Therefore, I have
always Refused to assume the role and the position of the "man
in the middle"—and I have always (from the beginning of My formal
Work of Teaching and Blessing) Criticized, Resisted, and Shouted
About the "cultic" (or ego-based, and ego-reinforcing, and merely
"talking" and "believing", and not understanding and not really
practicing) "school" (or tendency) of ordinary religious and Spiritual
life. Indeed, true Satsang with Me (or the true devotional and
Spiritual relationship to Me) is an always (and specifically,
and intensively) counter-"cultic" (or truly non-"cultic") Process.
The true devotional and Spiritual relationship
to Me is not separative (or merely "inward"-directed), nor is
it a matter of attachment to Me as a mere (and, necessarily, limited)
human being (or a "man in the middle")—for, if My devotee indulges
in ego-bound (or self-referring and self-serving) attachment to
Me as a mere human "other", My Divine Nature (and, therefore,
the Divine Nature of Reality Itself) is not (as the very Basis
for religious and Spiritual practice in My Company) truly devotionally
recognized and rightly devotionally acknowledged. And, if such
non-recognition of Me is the case, there is no truly ego-transcending
devotional response to My Avatarically Self-Revealed (and Self-Evidently
Divine) Presence and Person—and, thus, such presumed-to-be "devotion"
to Me is not devotional heart-Communion with Me, and such presumed-to-be
"devotion" to Me is not Divinely Liberating. Therefore, because
the true devotional (and, thus, truly devotionally Me-recognizing
and, on that basis, truly devotionally to-Me-responding) relationship
to Me is entirely a counter-egoic (and truly and only Divine)
discipline, it does not (if rightly and truly practiced) become
a "cult" (nor does it support the "cultic" tendency of Man).
The true devotional practice of Satsang with
Me is (inherently) expansive—or anti-contractional, or anti-constrictive,
or decompressive, or pro-relational. Thus, the self-contracting
(or separate and separative) self-"center" is neither the motive
nor the source of Satsang with Me. In true Satsang with Me, the
egoic "center" is always already undermined as a "center" (or
a presumed separate, and actively separative, entity). The Principle
of true Satsang with Me is Me—Beyond (and not "within"—or, otherwise,
supporting) the self-referring ego-"I".
True Satsang with Me is the true "Round Dance"
of Esoteric Spirituality. I am not trapped in the "middle" of
My devotees. I "Dance" in the "Round" with each and every one
of My devotees. I "Dance" in the circle—and, therefore, I am not
merely a "motionless man" in the "middle". At the true "Center"
(or the Divine Heart), Which Includes all-and-All (and, therefore,
is not merely surrounded, enclosed, abstracted, defined, known,
and controlled by all-and-All), I Am—Beyond definition (or separateness).
I Am the Indivisible, Most Perfectly Prior, Inherently Non-Separate,
and Inherently egoless (or centerless, boundless, and Self-Evidently
Divine) Consciousness (Itself) and the Indivisible, Most Perfectly
Prior, Inherently Non-Separate, and Inherently egoless (or centerless,
boundless, and Self-Evidently Divine) Light (Itself). I Am the
Very Being and the Very Presence (or Self-Radiance) of Self-Existing
and Eternally Unqualified (or Non-"Different") Consciousness (Itself).
In the "Round Dance" of true Satsang with Me
(or of right and true devotional and Spiritual relationship to
Me), I (Myself) Am Communicated directly to every one who lives
in heart-felt relationship with Me (insofar as each one feels—Beyond
the ego-"I" of body-mind—to Me). Therefore, I am not the mere
"man" (or the separate human, or psycho-physical, one), and I
am not merely "in the middle" (or separated out, and limited,
and confined, by egoic seekers). I Am the One (Avatarically Self-Revealed,
and all-and-All-Transcending, and Self-Evidently Divine) Person
of Reality Itself—Non-Separate, never merely at the egoic "center"
(or "in the middle" of—or "within", and "inward" to—the egoic
body-mind of My any devotee), but always with each one (and all),
and always in relationship with each one (and all), and always
Beyond each one (and all).
Therefore, My devotee is not Called, by Me,
merely to turn "inward" (or upon the ego-"I"), or to struggle
and seek to survive merely as a self-contracted and self-referring
and self-seeking and self-serving ego-"center". Instead, I Call
My devotee to turn the heart (and, indeed, all the faculties of
the total body-mind) toward Me—feeling Me As I Am, Free-Standing
here. I Call My devotee to turn from the self-"center", to Me,
in relationship (relationally, rather than self-referringly).
I Call My devotee to merely turn to Me, having already Found (or
"Located") Me—rather than to affirm the separate state, and the
separative act, of ego-"I", by seeking for Me. I Call My devotee
to "Locate" My all-and-All-Surrounding and all-and-All-Pervading
Divine Avataric Spiritual Form—by turning to My Divine Avataric
bodily (human) Form in the inherently searchless attitude (or
"Asana") of Mere Beholding. I Call My devotee to receive Me searchlessly,
and (Thus and Thereby) to recognize Me (and respond to Me), understanding
(by Means of My Divine Avataric Spiritual Blessing-Grace—and,
altogether, experiencing, and not merely believing) that I Am
(Always Already) Infinitely Above and Beyond (and Utterly Transcending)
the body-mind-self of My devotee (and I am not merely "within"—or
contained and containable "within" the separate, separative, and
self-contracted domain of the body-mind-self, or the ego-"I",
of My would-be devotee). I Call My Spiritually Me-receiving devotee
to always function in My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine
Light, such that My Avatarically Self-Revealed Divine Person is
always (and under all circumstances) presumed and experienced
(and not merely sought). Therefore, true Satsang with Me—or the
searchlessly Me-Beholding devotional and Spiritual relationship
to Me—is life embraced in (and As) the Real Company of Truth,
or of Reality Itself (Which Is the Only Real God). True Satsang
with Me Serves life, because I Move (or Radiate) into life, and
I always Contact life in relationship. And the life of true Satsang
with Me is the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam.
I do not Call My devotees to become absorbed
into a "cultic" gang of exoteric and ego-centric religionists.
I certainly Call all My devotees to always create and maintain
cooperative sacred culture (and to enter into to fully cooperative
collective and personal relationship) with one another—but not
to do so in an egoic, separative, world-excluding, xenophobic,
and intolerant manner. Rather, My devotees are Called, by Me,
to transcend egoity—through right and true devotional (and, in
due course, Spiritual) relationship to Me, and mutually tolerant
and peaceful cooperation with one another, and all-tolerating
(cooperative and compassionate and all-loving and all-including)
relationship with all of mankind (and with even all beings).
I Give My devotees the "Bright" Conscious Light
of My own Avatarically Self-Revealed Divine Person—by Means of
Which Blessing-Gift they can become more and more capable of "Bright"
Divine life. I Call for the searchless free devotion, the intelligently
discriminative self-understanding, the rightly and freely living
self-discipline, and the full and freely functional capability
of My devotees. I do not Call My devotees to resist or eliminate
life, or to strategically escape life, or to identify with the
world-excluding ego-centric impulse. I Call My devotees to live
a positively functional life. I do not Call My devotees to strategically
separate themselves from the natural vitality of life, or to suppress
the participatory impulse naturally associated with human existence.
I Call for all the human life-functions to be really and rightly
known, and to be really and rightly understood, and to be really
and rightly lived—and not reduced by (or to) the inherently bewildered
(and inherently "cultic", or self-centered and fearful) "point
of view" of the separate and separative ego-"I".
I Call for every human life-function and faculty
to be revolved away from self-contraction (or ego-"I"). I Call
for every human life-function and faculty to be turned "outwardly"
(or expansively, or counter-contractively), to participatory relatedness
with all-and-All. I Call for every human life-function and faculty
to be always directly (and thoroughly) aligned and adapted to
Me, in the truly ego-transcending manner—and (Thus and Thereby)
to be turned and Given to the Realization of My Divine Avataric
Spiritual Self-Revelation of Truth, or Reality Itself—Which Is
the "Bright" and Only Real God.
The characteristic life-sign of right, true,
full, and fully devotional Satsang with Me is the capability for
ego-transcending relatedness, based on the free disposition of
no-seeking and no-dilemma. Therefore, the characteristic life-sign
of right, true, full, and fully devotional Satsang with Me is
not the tendency to seek some "other" condition. Rather, the characteristic
life-sign of right, true, full, and fully devotional Satsang with
Me is freedom from the presumption of dilemma within the present-time
condition. The "radical" understanding (or "gone-to-the-root"
self-understanding) I Give to My devotees is not, itself, the
acquisition of any particular "thing" of experience. My every
true devotee is simply Awakening (and always Awakened) to Me,
within the otherwise bewildering "dream" of ordinary human life.
Satsang with Me is a natural (or spontaneously,
and not strategically, unfolding) Process, in Which the self-contraction
that is each one's suffering is transcended by Means of total
psycho-physical (or whole bodily) heart-Communion with My Avatarically
Self-Revealed (and Real—and Really, and tangibly, experienced)
Divine (Spiritual, and Transcendental) Presence and Person. My
devotee is (as is the case with any and every ego-"I") always
tending to be preoccupied with ego-based seeking—but, all the
while of his or her life in actively ego-surrendering (and really
ego-forgetting and, more and more, ego-transcending) devotional
(and, in due course, Spiritual) Communion with Me, I Am Divinely
Attracting (and Divinely Acting upon) My true devotee's heart
(and total body-mind), and (Thus and Thereby) Dissolving and Vanishing
My true devotee's fundamental egoity (and even all of his or her
otherwise motivating dilemma and seeking-strategy).
There are two principal tendencies by which
I am always being confronted by My devotee. One is the tendency
to seek—rather than to truly surrender to, and enjoy, and fully
animate the devotional (and, in due course, Spiritually developing)
Condition of Satsang with Me. And the other is the tendency to
make a self-contracting circle around Me—and, thus, to make a
"cult" of ego-"I" (and of the "man in the middle"), or to duplicate
the ego-ritual of mere fascination, and of inevitable resistance,
and of never-Awakening unconsciousness. Relative to these two
tendencies, I Give all My devotees only one resort. It is this
true Satsang—the devotionally Me-recognizing, and (on that basis)
devotionally to-Me-responding, and always really counter-egoic
devotional (and, in due course, Spiritual) relationship to My
Avatarically Self-Revealed (and Self-Evidently Divine) Person.
The Great Secret of My Avatarically Self-Revealed
Divine Person, and of My Avatarically Self-Manifested Divine Spiritual
Blessing-Work (now, and forever hereafter)—and, therefore, the
Great Secret of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam—Is
that I am not the "man in the middle", but I Am Reality Itself,
I Am the Only One Who Is, I Am That Which Is Always Already The
Case, I Am the Non-Separate (Avatarically Self-Revealed, and Self-Evidently
Divine) Person (or One and Very Divine Self, or One and True Divine
Self-Condition) of all-and-All (Beyond the ego-"I" of every one,
and of all, and of All).
Aham Da Asmi. Beloved, I Am Da—the One and
Only and Non-Separate and Indivisible and Self-Evidently Divine
Person, the Non-Separate and Indivisible Self-Condition and Source-Condition
of all-and-All. I Am the Avatarically Self-Revealed and Spiritually
Self-"Bright" Person, the One and Only and Self-Existing and Self-Radiant
Person—Who Is the One and Only and Non-Separate and Indivisible
and Indestructible Light of all-and-All. I Am That One and Only
and Non-Separate One. And—As That One, and Only As That One—I
Call all human beings to heart-recognize Me, and (on that basis)
to heart-respond to Me with right, true, and full devotion (demonstrated
by Means of formal practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given
Way of Adidam—Which Is the One and Only by-Me-Revealed and by-Me-Given
Way of the Heart).
I do not tolerate the so-called "cultic" (or
ego-made, and ego-reinforcing) approach to Me. I do not tolerate
the seeking ego's "cult" of the "man in the middle". I am not
a self-deluded ego-man—making much of himself, and looking to
include everyone-and-everything around himself for the sake of
social and political power. To be the "man in the middle" is to
be in a Man-made trap, an absurd mummery of "cultic" devices that
enshrines and perpetuates the ego-"I" in one and all. Therefore,
I do not make or tolerate the religion-making "cult" of ego-Man.
I do not tolerate the inevitable abuses of religion, of Spirituality,
of Truth Itself, and of My own Person (even in bodily human Form)
that are made (in endless blows and mockeries) by ego-based mankind
when the Great Esoteric Truth of devotion to the Adept-Realizer
is not rightly understood and rightly practiced.
The Great Means for the Teaching, and the Blessing,
and the Awakening, and the Divine Liberating of mankind (and of
even all beings) Is the Adept-Realizer. The true Adept-Realizer
(of any degree or kind) is One Who (by Virtue of True Divine Realization)
Is Able to (and, indeed, cannot do otherwise than) Stand In and
As the Divine (or Real and Inherent and One and Only) Position,
and to Be (Thus and Thereby) the Divine Means (In Person) for
the Divine Helping of one and all. This Great Means Is the Great
Esoteric Principle of the collective historical Great Tradition
of mankind. And Such Adept-Realizers Are (in their Exercise of
the Great Esoteric Principle) the Great Revelation-Sources That
Are at the Core and Origin of all the right and true religious
and Spiritual traditions within the collective historical Great
Tradition of mankind.
By Means of My (now, and forever hereafter)
Divinely Descended and Divinely Self-"Emerging" Avataric Incarnation,
I Am the Ruchira Avatar, Adi Da Samraj—the Divine Heart-Master,
the First, the Last, and the Only Adept-Realizer of the seventh
(or Most Perfect, and all-Completing) stage of life. I Am the
Ruchira Avatar, Adi Da Samraj, the Avataric Incarnation (and Divine
World-Teacher) everywhere Promised for the "late-time" (or "dark"
epoch)—which "late-time" (or "dark" epoch) is now upon all of
mankind. I Am the Great and Only and Non-Separate and (Self-Evidently)
Divine Person—Appearing in Man-Form, As the Ruchira Avatar, Adi
Da Samraj, in order to Teach, and to Bless, and to Awaken, and
to Divinely Liberate all of mankind (and even all beings, every
"where" in the cosmic domain). Therefore, by Calling every one
and all (and All) to Me, I Call every one and all (and All) Only
to the Divine Person—Which Is My own and Very Person (or Very,
and Self-Evidently Divine, Self-Condition), and Which Is Reality
Itself (or Truth Itself, the Indivisible and Indestructible Light
That Is the Only Real God), and Which Is the One and Very and
Non-Separate and Only Self-Condition and Source-Condition of all-and-All
(Beyond the ego-"I" of every one, and of all, and of All).
The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam
necessarily (and As a Unique Divine Gift) requires and involves
devotional recognition of Me (and, on that basis, devotional response
to Me) In and Via (and As) My bodily (human) Divine Avataric-Incarnation-Form.
However, because I Call every one and all (and All) to Me Only
As the Divine Person (or Reality Itself), the only-by-Me Revealed
and Given Way of Adidam is not about ego, and egoic seeking, and
the egoic (or the so-called "cultic") approach to Me (as the "man
in the middle").
According to all the esoteric traditions within
the collective historical Great Tradition of mankind, to devotionally
approach any Adept-Realizer as if he or she is (or is limited
to being, or is limited by being) a mere (or "ordinary", or even
merely "extraordinary") human entity is the great "sin" (or fault),
or the great error whereby the would-be devotee fails to "meet
the mark". Indeed, the Single Greatest Esoteric Teaching common
to all the esoteric religious and Spiritual traditions within
the collective historical Great Tradition of mankind Is that the
Adept-Realizer should always and only (and only devotionally)
be recognized and approached As the Embodiment and the Real Presence
of That (Reality, or Truth, or Real God) Which would be Realized
(Thus and Thereby) by the devotee.
Therefore, no one should misunderstand Me. By
Avatarically Revealing and Confessing My Divine Status to one
and all and All, I am not indulging in self-appointment, or in
illusions of grandiose Divinity. I am not claiming the "Status"
of the "Creator-God" of exoteric (or public, and social, and idealistically
pious) religion. Rather, by Standing Firm in the Divine Position
(As I Am)—and (Thus and Thereby) Refusing to be approached as
a mere man, or as a "cult"-figure, or as a "cult"-leader, or to
be in any sense defined (and, thereby, trapped, and abused, or
mocked) as the "man in the middle"—I Am Demonstrating the Most
Perfect Fulfillment (and the Most Perfect Integrity, and the Most
Perfect Fullness) of the Esoteric (and Most Perfectly Non-Dual)
Realization of Reality. And, by Revealing and Giving the Way of
Adidam (Which Is the Way of ego-transcending devotion to Me As
the Avatarically Self-Revealed One and Only and Non-Separate and
Self-Evidently Divine Person), I Am (with Most Perfect Integrity,
and Most Perfect Fullness) Most Perfectly (and in an all-Completing
and all-Unifying Manner) Fulfilling the Primary Esoteric Tradition
(and the Great Esoteric Principle) of the collective historical
Great Tradition of mankind—Which Primary Esoteric Tradition and
Great Esoteric Principle Is the Tradition and the Principle of
devotion to the Adept-Realizer As the Very Person and the Direct
(or Personal Divine) Helping-Presence of the Eternal and Non-Separate
Divine Self-Condition and Source-Condition of all-and-All.
Whatever (or whoever) is cornered (or trapped
on all sides) bites back (and fights, or seeks, to break free).
Whatever (or whoever) is "in the middle" (or limited and "centered"
by attention) is patterned by (or conformed to) the ego-"I" (and,
if objectified as "other", is forced to represent the ego-"I",
and is even made a scapegoat for the pains, the sufferings, the
powerless ignorance, and the abusive hostility of the ego-"I").
If there is no escape from (or no Way out of)
the corner (or the "centered" trap) of ego-"I"—the heart goes
mad, and the body-mind becomes more and more "dark" (bereft of
the Indivisible and Inherently Free Light of the Self-Evident,
and Self-Evidently Divine, Love-Bliss That Is Reality Itself).
I am not the "man in the middle". I do not stand
here as a mere man, "middled" to the "center" (or the cornering
trap) of ego-based mankind. I am not an ego-"I", or a mere "other",
or the representation (and the potential scapegoat) of the ego-"I"
of mankind (or of any one at all).
I Am the Indivisible and Non-Separate One, the
"Bright", the "Midnight Sun", Always Already Infinitely Above
and Beyond the all-and-All—and, by Virtue of My Divine Avataric
Incarnation and Descent, Always (now, and forever hereafter) Surrounding
and Pervading the every one of every here and then.
I Am the (Avatarically Self-Revealed) One and
Only and (Self-Evidently) Divine Person—the Perfectly Subjective
Divine Self-Condition (and Source-Condition) That Is Perfectly
centerless (and Perfectly boundless), Eternally Above and Beyond
the "middle" of all-and-All, and (now, and forever hereafter)
Surrounding, Pervading, and Blessing all-and-All.
I Am the Way Beyond the self-cornering and "other"-cornering
trap of ego-"I".
In this "late-time" (or "dark" epoch) of worldly
ego-Man, the collective of mankind is "darkened" (and cornered)
by egoity. Therefore, mankind has become mad, Lightless, and (like
a cornered "thing") aggressively hostile in its universally competitive
fight and bite.
Therefore, I have not Come here merely to stand
Manly in the "middle" of mankind—to suffer its biting abuses,
or even to be coddled and ignored in a little corner of religious
"cultism".
I have Come here to Divinely Liberate one and
all (and All) from the "dark" culture and effect of this "late-time",
and (now, and forever hereafter) to Divinely Liberate one and
all (and All) from the pattern and the act of ego-"I", and (Most
Ultimately) to Divinely Translate one and all (and All) Into the
Indivisible, Perfectly Subjective, and Eternally Non-Separate
Sphere (or Non-"Different" and Indestructible "Midnight Sun")
of My "Bright" Self-Domain of Divine Love-Bliss-Light.
The ego-"I" is a "centered" (or separate and
separative) trap, from which the heart (and even the entire body-mind)
must be Retired. I Am the Way (or the Very Means) of that Retirement
from egoity. I Refresh the heart (and even the entire body-mind)
of My devotee, in every moment My devotee resorts to Me (by devotionally
recognizing Me, and, on that basis, devotionally—and ecstatically,
and also, often, meditatively—responding to Me) Beyond the "middle",
Beyond the "centering" act (or trapping gesture) of ego-"I" (or
self-contraction).
I Am the Avatarically Self-Revealed (and Perfectly
Subjective, and Self-Evidently Divine) Self-Condition (and Source-Condition)
of every one, and of all, and of All—but the Perfectly Subjective
(and Self-Evidently Divine) Self-Condition (and Source-Condition)
is not "within" the ego-"I" (or separate and separative body-mind).
The Perfectly Subjective (and Self-Evidently Divine) Self-Condition
(and Source-Condition) is not in the "center" (or the "middle")
of Man (or of mankind). The Perfectly Subjective (and Self-Evidently
Divine) Self-Condition (and Source-Condition) of one, and of all,
and of All Is Inherently centerless (or Always Already Beyond
the self-contracted "middle"), and to Be Found only "outside"
(or by transcending) the bounds of separateness, relatedness,
and "difference". Therefore, in order to Realize the Perfectly
Subjective (and Self-Evidently Divine) Self-Condition and Source-Condition
(or the Perfectly Subjective, and Self-Evidently Divine, Heart)
of one, and of all, and of All (or even, in any moment, to exceed
the ego-trap—and to be Refreshed at heart, and in the total body-mind),
it is necessary to feel (and to, ecstatically, and even meditatively,
swoon) Beyond the "center" (or Beyond the "point of view" of separate
ego-"I" and separative body-mind). Indeed, Most Ultimately, it
is only in ego-transcendence to the degree of unqualified relatedness
(and Most Perfect Divine Samadhi, or Utterly Non-Separate Enstasy)
that the Inherently centerless and boundless, and Perfectly Subjective,
and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Condition (and Source-Condition)
Stands Obvious and Free (and Is, Thus and Thereby, Most Perfectly
Realized).
It Is only by Means of devotionally Me-recognizing
(and, on that basis, devotionally to-Me-responding) devotional
(and, in due course, Spiritual) meditation on Me (and otherwise
ecstatic heart-Contemplation of Me), and total (and totally open,
and totally ego-forgetting) psycho-physical reception of Me, that
your madness of heart (and of body-mind) is (now, and now, and
now) escaped, and your "darkness" is En-Light-ened (even, at last,
Most Perfectly). Therefore, be My true devotee—and, by (formally,
and rightly, and truly, and fully, and fully devotionally) practicing
the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam (Which Is the
True and Complete Way of the True and Real Divine Heart), always
turn to My Divine Avataric bodily (human) Form, and (Thus and
Thereby) always Find Me Spiritually (by searchlessly "Locating"
Me), Infinitely Above and Beyond your self-"center", and Surrounding
and Pervading every here and now.
Aham Da Asmi. Beloved, I Am Da. And, because
I Am Infinitely and Non-Separately "Bright", all and All are arising
in My Divine Sphere of "Brightness". By feeling and surrendering
into the Infinite Spiritual Sphere of My Avatarically Self-Revealed
Divine Self-"Brightness", My every devotee Awakens (by Means of
My Avataric Divine Spiritual Grace) to Merely Be in Me. And, Beyond
his or her self-contracting and separative act of ego-"I", My
every devotee (self-surrendered into heart-Communion With Me)
Is the One and Only and Non-Separate and Real God I Have Come
to Awaken—by Means of My Avataric Divine Incarnation, My Avataric
Divine Spiritual Descent, and My Avataric Divine Self-"Emergence"—now,
and forever hereafter, here (and every "where") in the cosmic
domain.”
