I was listening to a recent audio CD where Beloved said something like, “So when your intimate frustrates you, that is very, very good!”

However there is a lot required to get to that “place” for most people and that is not obvious, it requires real sacrifice on many levels. There is no status in it, yet there is rightly, “cultural” enjoyment, expressed sometimes by the term “Gurubai”, just as in any tradition there is that form of relationship and of course it is earned by action, rather than theory.

thanks for your comment, all the best to you.

i know their is magic attached to alchemy……magic to know the soul of god…magic to do extraordinary things…..but the explanation given above is the simplest and best way to do it….

it requires two things……1.if u have true love in ur life..thats ur soulpartner.

2.faith that god is in ur favour and belief in what ur heart tells u about the world….thats understanding the language of intiutions……u can say it the intelligence of heart…….

try to see alchemy in ur relations,job and everywhere….but it asks for a big cost…which is shattering ur ego and respecting every creation of the world as everything consists of god’s soul…

im not some priest or philoshopher but i am the seeker of true logic and happiness…as someone has said when knowledge combines with emotions it gives birth to wisdom…..

I never really had a problem with the “Me” usage, once I truly understood that Adi Da is not a separate “me” in the slightest. Then, the One communicating through those words (in a living conversation with me) takes on a whole new force and meaning.

I did struggle more with the “Only-By-Me-Revealed-Way” when it started appearing, along with the claims of being the first seventh stage realizer. But even Adi Da said this confession was not offered to be believed (how can I really know anyway?), but to fully communicate the Truth (as a matter of integrity). Of course, some formal devotees may be moved to focus on this “exclusive” confession in their joyous zeal of the immensity of their Sat-Guru.

Yes, it can be a turn-off to the mass audiences perusing the “spiritual marketplace”, and even for the earnest individuals who thirst for a real link. That’s just the way it is.

Again, if I enquire just who is saying “Only-By-Me-Revealed”, the answer “Who else could it possibly be?” appears and I find myself laughing. Who has been all these other sages in the Great Tradition? Who is being every one of us, even right now? The bodily human form that is Adi Da sure created an unprecedented, unique Teaching in its breadth and fullness. Is He the first seventh-stage realizer? That is for devotees to discover. Personally, I honestly don’t know, and I’m not worrying about it. It’s beside the point.

There’s so much more to Adi Da than His written word. My first exposure to Him was seeing Enlightenment of the Whole Body in a bookstore in the early 80s. I loved His teaching arguments, and was offended by the devotional element. But I stuck with it, and eventually realized the primacy of devotion. If “Only-By-Me-Revealed” causes offense for new readers, how is that so different from my initial response years ago? His attraction won me over, in spite of my reactions.
