Adi Da and Yogic States

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Just finished writing a page on the the effects of spiritual practices and internal bodily bliss and inherent pleasurableness and what Adi Da teaches about these effects, here is a quote

However natural pleasurable –conductivity– ( meaning exactly what this word implies a unbroken flow ) is native to the body and living things, without deep bodily bliss readily available and at least relatively constant in the body mind , the world and life appear devoid of real sustenance and we are always hungry and addicted to any pleasurable source.

Adi Da Causal : What does it mean ?

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

More an intuitive title, a gut feeling title, defies a simple explanation, go here first

Someone asked me of any relation between Adi Da and Subud , the only relation I am aware of is the fact that Rudrananda ( Rudi ) had some connection with Subud, the descending force connection perhaps. Great story here on Subud - Bali - Mystery and Beautiful Art the web page is also quite beautiful, nice blend of colour, pattern and images

Random Quotes by Adi Da Samraj
from God Is Not A Gentleman and I Am That One
The true yogi is a wild, terrifying being, a fire. There is nothing gentlemanly about the true yogi. There is nothing gentlemanly about the Lord. As long as you want to be a gentleman, or a gentlewoman, you can carry on your endless karmic destiny in limitation, but you will never live the life truly. You will piddle around in dimensions like this one, which are nothing but excrement compared to the Divine Light. They amount to nothing, all complications and struggles. There is very little pleasure in it. If this world became a world of devotees, it would become a different place, and in the community of devotees it will be a different.But the Lord is wild, the Lord is a vast fire, not a gentleman. As soon as the Lord makes His contact with you, He works for your dissolution. You must yield the body. Your cells must yield. Only then are you fit for the Divine Yoga. When you have no other commitments, when you have nothing to withhold, then I enter your life."
from "My Bright Word"
There is a disturbance, dissatisfaction, some sensation that motivates a man to go to a teacher, read a book about philosophy, believe something, or do yoga.What we ordinarily think of as spirituality or religion is a way to get free of that sensation, that suffering that motivates us. So all paths, yogic methods, forms of seeking, beliefs, religion, grow out of this sensation, this subtle suffering. Ultimately, all these paths are attempting to get free of that sensation. That is the traditional goal. Indeed all human beings are seeking, whether or not they are very sophisticated about it, using very specific methods, yoga, philosophy, religion, whatever
from "Crazy Da Must Sing"
I've grown used to miracles. The wonder is not whether we will be together, me with those I'm loving, on some other side. The wonder is that we've met and been together, loving here, in this half made world, where love is yet to take its hold
from The Knee Of Listening
Guru-bhakti is superior to all mere methods. Put aside all dharma, all means, and think only of Him. That itself is realization and the way itself...if I seek to recognize myself in the heart and enquire as to my own nature I find myself drawn apart from all things separated even from that recognition by my own exclusive search. But even in that same ignorance, if I think of Shee Guru, or look upon him in the company of devotees, I am drawn into the heart of all reality, and by the easy deepest heart I lose the body of all distinctions While I loved him thus, I gained my true heart and never tried and sought
