Recognition

Avatar Adi Da’s devotees confess:

Adi Da Samraj is the literal embodiment of Perfect Joy, Love, Happiness, Truth, and Freedom.

He is the Incarnation of the One Condition that is always and already the true condition of every one and every thing.

He is the living demonstration and proof of what has been called “the Divine”, “God”, “Reality”, “Nirvana”—not in an exclusive sense, as a separate ego, but as the One who is utterly beyond and prior to the self-contraction.

Such statements cannot merely be believed. Nor are they based in mental or scientific knowledge. Such a confession is made on the basis of a discovery at heart and a response that cannot possibly be self-generated.

This recognition of Avatar Adi Da, which spontaneously transcends the activity of self-contraction in any moment, is the gift that makes possible the entire Way of Adidam.

Heart-recognition of Me is not a matter of merely knowing My Name or knowing what My bodily (human) Form looks like.

Heart-recognition of Me is not a matter of “believing” what any other says about Me.

Heart-recognition of Me is not a matter of reinforcing a structure in your own “belief”-mind.

Heart-recognition of Me is not a matter of identifying certain aspects of your own egoic experience as Me.

Heart-recognition of Me is not a matter of making a merely verbal acknowledgement of Me As the Divine Person.

Rather, heart-recognition of Me is a matter of heart-feeling Who (and What) I (My-Self) Am, altogether—As My Avatarically-Born bodily (human) Divine Form, and As My Avatarically Self-Revealed Spiritual (and Always Blessing) Divine Presence, and As My Avatarically Self-Revealed (and Very, and Transcendental, and Perfectly Subjective, and Inherently Spiritual, and Inherently egoless, and Inherently Perfect, and Self-Evidently Divine) State.

—Avatar Adi Da Samraj (from "Hridaya Rosary")
