Realization
is a Transmission. Various apparent efforts can be made to serve
it, but no one can Transmit or influence others with anything
other than the state of Realization or the limit of existence
that is real for that one. Everyone transmits. All of you are
transmitters. You reinforce these limitations in one another
and you transmit them to one another. Each one of you emits
invisible forces that are locked up in limited messages that
reinforce the same limitations in others . . . Realizers of
one or another degree of Spiritual development likewise by nature
spontaneously Transmit what they are. . . . Those less evolved
Transmit their Realization, and those more evolved Transmit
their more advanced Realization, and those who have Realized
That Which Is Inherently Perfect Transmit That. It is inevitable,
and it is an absolute law. That is why it is said in the traditions
that the best thing you can do, among all the things you must
do —
and you must do many things —
but the best among them, the chief among them, is to spend time
in the Company of a Realizer. Everything is transmission. The
stones transmit, the sky does, the TV does. Since everything
and everyone transmits states of existence, since life, or existence
itself, is participation in transmissions of all kinds, the
best thing you can do is to associate with the greatest possible
Transmission above all. . . . That is the great rule,
the Great Law, the Ultimate principle of the Great Tradition.

In
terms of the Divine physics behind the Awakened State and
the dream, the essential aspect that makes the process of
human liberation from the dream possible is the human form
of the Spiritual Master. It is somewhat analogous to the necessary
similarity in structure and function between the giant TV
transmitter towers that sit at the top of nearby hills, and
the antennas that are on top of each individual TV (or rooftop),
which allows the electric field in the large antenna to be
precisely duplicated by the small antenna:

I
am
Present in the same kind of bodily form as you — manifested
in the same kind of physical condition, the same kind of nervous
system, the same kind of brain. But in Me all these things
are Raised to an Absolute level of Functioning, so that your
entering into Communion with Me brings changes even at the
level of the psycho-physical body that you present to Me.
The
abstract Deity cannot serve you in that way, because the physics
of this Process must be directly Present, and the human Demonstration
of the Process must be Present in a Form that can do its Work
in your case. That Work is My Purpose, because I Represent
a State of the ultimate physics of things that is your potential
but not your actuality at the present time. The abstract Divine
and the potential powers of the universe are just as true
as the Spiritual Master, but they are not organized (except
in the case of the Spiritual Master) for the sake of the immediate
transformation of human beings. If people enter into right
relationship with Me, they begin to Realize the same transformations
I have Described in My own case.

There
is one Law: You
become what you meditate on.
This
Law summarizes the Process whereby
I become your unique Advantage. As My devotee, although you
perceive beings and things and phenomena of all kinds, you
are in Communion with Me. As My devotee, you are concentrated
in Me. In the midst of all that arises, you constantly give
your attention to Me through your practice of the Way of the
Heart. When you Contemplate Me with devotion, you are Contemplating
the Divine Reality, Which is Full, Perfect. When you feelingly-Contemplate
Me, you are Contemplating the complete Divine Revelation.
Therefore,
I Am your unique Advantage. Simply by your feeling-Contemplation
of Me in all the moments of conditional existence, the total
Spiritual Process may be activated in you, by Grace, and then
the advanced and the ultimate stages of life in the Way of
the Heart will be spontaneously manifested in you, not by
your self-consciously duplicating the signs of each of those
stages but merely by your entering into Communion with Me.
To
the degree you are reluctant to Contemplate Me with full feeling-devotion,
to the degree you stand aloof in your egoic self, your participation
in Me is limited and, therefore, you struggle through the
evolutionary stages of life, very much involved in your egoic
self.
I
Am your Advantage, not because I Give you a process that you
can apply to yourself successfully if you bear down and give
it enough effort —
I do not —
but because I Offer you a relationship with Me. Satsang with
Me, Communion with Me, makes the process of the Way of the
Heart unique and capable of fulfillment instantly. Instantly.
Directly. In actual practice, of course, some time is involved,
typically because of the limitations in your devotion to Me.
However, when I Speak of the Way of the Heart, I am not Speaking
of your continued conditional reappearances ad infinitum.
I am Speaking of a Process that may be fulfilled even in this
lifetime —
if you will truly use your Advantage with full understanding
of what your relationship with Me is all about, its significance
fully Revealed to you. In that case, your practice of the
Way of the Heart is simply to Contemplate Me with full heart-feeling.
Then the various dimensions of My Sign will appear to you
in vision, or natural realization, spontaneously, and your
devotional life will be full, not by your effort but by My
Grace.

Thus, the
starting point of the practice of Adidam is the contemplation
of Adi Da Samraj's bodily human form, based on having already
felt and recognized, to some fundamental degree, Who and What
is being transmitted through Adi Da Samraj's form: |
 |
|
 |
|
I
am
Present in a Form that is established in every dimension of
conditionality. Therefore, for those who are bound to the
body's point of view, I Appear bodily. For those who are bound
more subtly, in the subtler reaches of mind, My Spiritual
(and Always Blessing) Presence is also Revealed (and My Spiritual,
Always Blessing, Presence Pervades those realms). Therefore,
in the Way of Adidam, sadhana [spiritual practice] is Given
as a Gift, by Me. Altogether, the sadhana is made possible
by Grace. And it is made simple and direct, not a matter of
self-concern, but simply a matter of the feeling-Contemplation
of Me in the context of your own tendency of attention. By
means of this constant feeling-Contemplation, you will be
purified of the tendencies of attention, first bodily, then
more and more in mind, until equanimity (of the total body-mind)
is established and attention can be relinquished in its Inherently
Perfect (and Perfectly Subjective) Source. That (at last)
is the "Perfect Practice" of the Way of Adidam.

My
Divine Form Is the "Bright", the Love-Bliss-Form That you
can feel tangibly Touching you, Surrounding you, Moving in
you, Making all kinds of changes. That Is My Divine Body.
I can Manifest It anywhere, and Do, all the time. I Manifest
My Self. My True Body, My Eternal Body Is the "Bright" Itself,
My Force of Person. This physical Body here Is My Murti, My
Agent. This physical Body is utterly Conformed to Me, My "Bright"
Divine Body, but this physical Body is Itself made of the
elements, and associated with subtle faculties, and all the
rest. This physical Body, as I Said, Is My Murti, My Agent.
It is temporary. I am using It for the Purpose of My Self-Revelation
and for Instructing the world, but, even when this physical
Body is no longer animated, I will Be Bodily Present Forever.
My Divine Body will Exist Forever. Therefore, My devotees
will be able to experience Me directly, Bodily —
My "Bright" Body, My Very Person —
Forever. The principal form of contact with Me is through
feeling and through this tangible but inexplicable Touch.
It even has a form to it that may be sensed in a touch-like
manner, subtly, not otherwise being perceived by any of the
senses. I call My own Divine Body "the 'Bright'". That does
not mean you will necessarily see it as "Brightness", but
you might see it in some light-form. But even if you are simply
feeling Me, experiencing My Tangible Touch, you still know
what I mean when I call My Divine Body "the 'Bright'", because
It Is Full and Radiant, Love-Blissful, Infinitely Expansive.
It has all the qualities of brightness.

Wherever
your attention lies without confusion, that is what you realize.
If you will give Me your attention, through feeling-Contemplation
of Me, if you will gravitate toward Me in every moment, so
that all your desiring, even your inevitability, becomes superficial,
then whatever quality arises from moment to moment will be
truly superficial. Its impact will be lost. It will not create
egoic reaction — it will create heat
only. The tendency will be frustrated, and instead you will
meditate on the fire, which is your attention to Me. If you
will fulfill the discipline I Give you for the sake of your
Divine Liberation, then your attention to Me from hour to
hour will become more fiery, more intense, more loving, more
sacrificial, more absurd, less and less the character you
are born to be and live and die.

This
(My) Body (or bodily human Form) Is the Teaching. My Wisdom-Teaching
was Spoken through It. My Wisdom-Teaching refers to many processes,
all of which have taken place in the context of this Body.
Nothing has been Spoken to you, nothing has been Taught to
you, through This Body that has not been experienced by this
One, in this Body. All of it has been tested and proven in
this Body. Nothing has been Spoken to you that has not been
tested and proven in this Body, and by this One altogether,
in and beyond this Body. Therefore, this One, bodily (in bodily
human Form), is the Teaching. The Teaching Word is a Communication
through this Body. The summary of My Wisdom-Teaching is before
your eyes, and It need not be thought about.
