The Radical Truth Video Series Adi Da Samraj

In this discourses 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.

Enlightenment or God is not realized by any technique, or method. It is also not realized by or through the body or mind. The point of view of the body-mind is always from the place of separation from others and the Divine. The Way of Adidam is the ancient and acknowledged way or tacit recognition and response the Realized Adept, who has transcended the body-mind point of view. Through this time honored means true liberation is realized.

History has recorded a few uncommon individuals who live in a spiritually awakened or enlightened state. These masters can literally transmit their enlightenment to people who are in relationship with them, and this process offers a great advantage to humankind. In this Discourse, Adi Da Samraj tells us why it is important NOT to assume a conventional, 'familiar' relationship to such beings. What is effective is the traditional master-disciple or guru-devotee relationship. This allows for the unique state of the God-Realized Master to be duplicated in others.

Human beings are in a paradoxical quandary in trying to liberate themselves from the suffering of life. We assume the position and point-of the body-minds which are fixed in its point of view in time and place in our search for Liberation. To try to "get there" from the point of view of the body mind (which is based on the assumption of a separate self) is not possible. In this discourse Adi Da Samraj suggest that the Way He Offers is not based on this assumption of separate self, but rather identification with that that is transcendent from the body-mind, the Divine Self-Condition". The devotee asking the question of Adi Da was a former student of Zen Buddhism so in this discourse Adi Da refers to some metaphors that are part of the Zen Buddhism Tradition.

To experience conditions, there must be an assumed and separate point-of-view. Adi Da explains that in Seventh Stage Realization, this egoic presumption of a separate point-of-view is transcended. In that case, all conditions and the separate 'world' are completely vanished in Divine Brightness.

Adi Da gives a Radical and profound description of the true nature of the Divine Reality, Stating that the Divine is the substance of all that arises, not the "cause" of anything, Adi Da goes on to describe how it is our own separation from that which is the very Divine, that causes the assumption of separation.
