If you are a spiritual seeker or Truth seeker in the serious sense, that is, you really want to get to the root of “what is going on” , or “what it all means” then you should educate yourself in Adi Da’s Teaching .
In the very early days Adi Da wrote “Make use of Teachings such as this one” .
I would read this statement and think – there are more of these radical teachings??
You may ask : how do I do that- get an Adidam education? Well I certainly can’t tell you the answer to that, other than throw a few pointers out for consideration and suggest sources and media.
This education is given on many levels and is not just about absorbing Dharma, though this is very important.
There is another level of education much harder to get and always “hard won”. It’s about our own self, or more exactly the revelation of ”own self” as narcissus -the all rejecting self lover. The “revelation of narcissus” in our own case, not in anyone else’s case, is huge, and ongoing from the beginning.
It’s possible and not uncommon to experience profound states, to talk with apparent wisdom on very subtle subjects, to even convince ones self of personal illumination, yet remain utterly locked into narcissus as an unbroken pattern. This is quite remarkable but also quite true.
In a way this is just a nuance, just a side note, but it keeps us “sober”
“Part of the integrity of being a devotee of mine is to have a fundamental and very serious mistrust of your self. Don’t take anything you say or think seriously, at least in absolute terms.”
