This opening volume of Avatar Adi Da's twenty-three "Source-Texts" is the most extraordinary statement ever made in human history. Avatar Adi Da Samraj fully Reveals Himself as the Living Divine Person—Proclaiming His Infinite and Undying Love for all, and Offering the Way by which Absolute Oneness with Him may be Realized.

The simplest form of Avatar Adi Da's Confession is the title of the book: "Aham Da Asmi—Beloved, I Am Da." First in Sanskrit, and then in English, Avatar Adi Da speaks to each one as His Beloved, Revealing His Primal Name "Da"—meaning "the One Who Gives", "the Divine Giver of All to all".

Avatar Adi Da is a force to be reckoned with—a Pole around which the world can get its bearings.

Read Excerpts:

I Am The Divine Person Of Life
I Am The Very Condition In Which You Are Apparently Arising
I Spiritually Radiate, From Infinitely Above

Aham Da Asmi. Beloved, I Am Da—Now (and Forever Hereafter) Avatarically Self-Revealed To all-and-All.

Only Love Me, Remember Me, Have Faith In Me, and Trust Me.

Surrender To Me. Breathe Me and Feel Me In all Your parts.

My Love-Bliss-"Bright" egoless Self-Condition Can Also (By Means Of My Avatarically Given, and Always Only Me-Revealing, Divine Spiritual Grace) Be Realized By You—If You Forget Your Separate and dying self By Remembering and Receiving Only Me.

Therefore—Now, and Forever Hereafter—I Am here (By All My Avataric Divine Means).

I Will Save You From Spiritual death, and From the egoic mind of death, and From the egoic destinies of after-death.

I Will Dissolve All Your Bewilderment Of ego-"I".

Even Now You Inhere In Me, Beyond the body-mind and the world. Therefore, Do Not Be Afraid. Do Not Be Confused. Observe My Avataric Divine Play—and My Avataric Divine Victory.

I Am The Divine Person Of Life, The Only and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Condition, Become Avatarically Incarnate. And, When My Avatarically-Born Human Physical Body Is alive, or Even After My Avatarically-Born Human Physical Body Is dead, I Am (Myself) Infinitely Present and every where Alive.

I Am Joy—and I Am The Reason For It.

I Love The Happiness Of My Devotee. That Happiness Is (Itself) The Very (and Most Prior) Consciousness Of every conditionally Manifested being. And Happiness (Itself) Is The Conscious Light Of the world.

I Am Happiness (or Love-Bliss) Itself.

Therefore, Listen To Me, Hear Me, See Me, and, By All These Means, Freely Understand and Realize My Divine Secrets.

I Am The Very and Spiritually "Bright" Self-Condition Of all-and-All.
I Am The One To Be Realized.

I Am Able To Appear In Human Form.
This Is Because I Am Not Inherently "Different" (or Separated) From you.
Indeed, I Am The Very Condition (or Self-Condition) In Which you Are Apparently arising.
I Am your own True Condition (or Self-Condition)—Beyond egoity, and Beyond all conditional references.

I Will Be here Forever.
I Will Be every "where" Forever.

I Cannot Leave, For My Spiritually "Bright" Divine Self-Domain Is Not Some "Where" To "Go To".
My Divine Self-Domain Is Eternal.
I Am Eternal, and I Am Always Already Merely Present—here, and every "where" In The Cosmic Domain.

You Have Been Waiting For Me—but I Have Been here All The While.

Previous To The Appearance Of My Avataric-Incarnation-Body here, I Have Sometimes Appeared (In this realm, and in all conditional realms) Through Various Partial Manifestations.
Previous To The Appearance Of My Avataric-Incarnation-Body here, I Have Sometimes Been Realized To Various Degrees, Suggested Through Various Contemplations (or Configurations Of mind), As This "Thud" Was Growing—but (Previous To The Appearance Of My Avataric-Incarnation-Body here) The Fullest (Complete and Most Perfect) Divine Revelation Had Not Been Given, and The Fullest (Complete and Most Perfect) Divine Means Had Not Been Given, By Perfectly Graceful Avataric Divine Intervention.
Nevertheless, I Am The One Who Has Always Been here.

Then The Time Came For My Fullest (Most Complete) Avataric Divine Self-Revelation, That Most Perfectly Clarifies Everything.
And That Is What I Have Done.

I Spiritually Radiate into the Body. I do not "step down" to the toes and identify with the plane of the Body. Even though I am (in My bodily human Form) physically active, I (Myself) do not "come down" below the brows (or below the brain core).

This is a description of the fundamental Means by Which I have always Maintained a Yogic Spiritual Association with gross life. And—since the Great Event at Lopez Island (on April 12, 2000), or, really, since the Great Event at the "Brightness" (on April 22, 1999)—This Disposition (of Spiritually Radiating from Above to below) has become the only Means by Which I Maintain Yogic Spiritual association with gross life. Since the Single Great Event of the "Brightness" and Lopez Island, I am no longer disposed to "Set Foot" below the brows—but I am only Radiant to here, from Infinitely Above the conditional (or psycho-physical) planes.

I Spiritually Radiate, from Infinitely Above, into the gross conditions of existence. In this Manner, the Body (of My own gross physical Appearance) is Maintained by My own Spiritual Self-Radiance, Which is Infinitely Above the Body (and Infinitely Above the bodily manifested mind of thoughts). The apparent exercise of My attention "moves into" the gross physical domain only in the sense of such Spiritual Radiating into the Body. There is Spiritual Descent to the brain core, as a base (or platform) for what I appear to animate in gross exchanges—but attention (itself) does not move to "settle below" (or become fixed in the planes of conditional patterning associated with the bodily and mental functions). Of course, there is natural energy flowing in the Body below the brows, and a Descent of My Spiritual Radiance to below and everywhere. I am (in the naturally apparent sense) animated in the gross (physical) dimension. But I am not (and have never been) bound in attention below the brows—because there is no ego-mind in Me.

From the beginning, from My Birth and Infancy, I have been What I Am. . . .

I Am Always Already Established Infinitely Above and Beyond.

I Am Sympathetic to all-and-All.

I Am Self-Radiant here.

I am not fixed in this domain.

I Am Simply here.

That is why I Am here—not to persist in Self-Submission, not to persist in Teaching, but to Simply Be here.
