You Can't Get There From Hereaudio

Listen to an excerpt from “You Can't Get There From Here”. In the principal talk on this recently published CD, Avatar Adi Da employs the familiar punch line to consider the fruitlessness of the ego's search for God. He instructs everyone that the ego cannot attain Realization through "self"-effort. Real-God-Realization only occurs in the transcending of "self".

The Secret of Experiencevideo

In this excerpt from the DVD “The Secret of Experience”, Avatar Adi Da responds to a devotee’s question about an experience he has had of an egoless state. In this moving exchange between Spiritual Master and devotee, Avatar Adi Da offers instruction about the value of such an experience, about the egoic tendency to become a question about such an experience—and about the forgetting of all questions in the living relationship with Him.

God Is Not in Chargeaudio

In a 1980s audio excerpt from the CD “God Is Not in Charge”, Avatar Adi Da calls everyone to deeply examine the false presumption that God is some kind of Parental Deity that protects everyone and causes everything. He takes His listeners through a process of considering the real nature of the world, including how the Divine Reality directly Appears here, and how to recognize and make use of such an Appearance.

The Avon Ladyaudio

Listen to an excerpt from “The Avon Lady”, a talk given by Avatar Adi Da in the early 1970s. Here He describes the contraction that is the subtle motivation of all seeking, and then goes on to describe the unique function of the True Guru—Who alone does not support the search, thereby Awakening awareness of what is prior to the search.

Guru As Prophetaudio

Listen to an excerpt from "Guru As Prophet", a classic discourse by Avatar Adi Da from the early period of His Teaching-Work. Here Adi Da distinguishes between the Spiritual (Transmission) Function of the True Guru and the public function of Guru as “prophet” (or critic).

The Grace of Suffering video

Watch a clip from "The Grace of Suffering", a talk by Avatar Adi Da from 1976 from the 25th Anniversary DVD Series.

After My Lifetimeaudio

Hear Adi Da speak about how the mortality of His physical Form does not limit His Eternal Nature and ongoing Blessing-Work. This audio excerpt, entitled "I Will Work With You Directly Forever", is from After My Lifetime, a collection of profound Instruction from Avatar Adi Da about the import of His Divine Mahasamadhi.

Relinquish the Mummery of This World video

Watch an excerpt from an exquisite three-hour discourse, "Relinquish the Mummery of This World", given by Avatar Adi Da in California on July 7, 2005.

In this excerpt, instead of addressing the content of a devotee's question, Adi Da addresses the disposition of the questioner and the illusion of the separate self.
