Q: How can I learn how to meditate?
A: In the earliest days of His Teaching-Work, Avatar Adi Da said, "I Offer you a relationship, not a technique." Thus, the form of meditation that Avatar Adi Da Offers is not any kind of mental or physical or breathing technique.
Meditation in Adidam is the deepening of the devotional response to Avatar Adi Da. That devotional response manifests as the spontaneous turning of the "four faculties" (of mind, emotion, body, and breath) to Him – no matter what thoughts, emotions, or physical sensations may be arising in the moment.
Q: Will Avatar Adi Da Samraj reincarnate?
A: Avatar Adi Da wrote in The Knee of Listening that He will not have another human lifetime: "I only Do This Incarnation. When This Incarnation ends, there is no 'seed' in Me for re-Appearance. I am not a karmic entity. I have Conformed these Vehicles to Myself for the Purpose of My (Avataric Divine) Incarnation."
Avatar Adi Da's Own Word on the Signficance of His Passing
Q: What does Avatar Adi Da say happens after death?
A: This is a vast and important subject. We suggest that you read Avatar Adi Da's book Easy Death and visit Adidam's Death and Dying website (www.easydeathbook.com) to learn about His uniquely full and detailed Teaching in this essential area of existence.
Avatar Adi Da's Teaching about death is positive and helpful in very practical ways — and, at its core, is radically distinct from the cultural points of view most people are accustomed to, whether Western or Eastern. He fully explains exactly what happens during and after the death process.
Q: Can I apply some of Avatar Adi Da's Wisdom to my life without having to become a devotee?
A: There is a wealth of advice for human living in Avatar Adi Da's Teaching. Fullest use of His Gift involves a devotional response to Him and the choice to become a formally practicing devotee.
At the same time, His Guidance relative to many matters of practical life can be of great value for anyone. One essay that many people find quite useful at every phase of life is "Right Principle and Right Self-Management: The Secrets of How to Change".
Q: I have visions and dreams of Avatar Adi Da, and He speaks to me in them. What does this mean?
A: Many people have reported profound encounters with Avatar Adi Da in dreams, visions, and so forth.
Such occurrences are a sign of Who He Is — they are some of the many possible ways that people can become aware of His Universal Divine Presence. The most appropriate response to any such vision or dream is to find out more about Avatar Adi Da, study His Teaching-Word, and make contact with the gathering of His devotees.
