"My bodily (human) Form
Is (Itself) the Teaching"
"Those who are without profound understanding of the Great Spiritual Process very often like to dissociate the Teaching from the Teacher.
"Therefore, in this time of body-based dilettantism, Teachings are very often valued, but the Teachers are not — the Guru-devotee relationship is often not valued.
"It should be understood, however, that what makes the Teaching valuable is the Realization of the Realizer. You come to the Realizer not merely for his or her words of Instruction but to Realize what the Realizer has Realized, and is now Realizing."
— Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj
Beyond all the necessary and right uses of His Heart-Word is Avatar Adi Da Himself. Remarkably, His incomparable Written Reality-Teaching is not the primary form of His Teaching.
Rather, He has said, "My bodily (human) Form Is (Itself) the Teaching." What He means by this becomes obvious when He is recognized as the Living Form of Reality Itself. Furthermore, His entire Reality-Teaching has been thoroughly "tested and proven" in His Own Body-Mind, so that His bodily Form is the perfect expression of That Teaching.
Avatar Adi Da's Person Communicates all that is to be understood and Realized.
The verbal Teaching, then, is simply a service to aspirants — words of Instruction. The fundamental Teaching, however, is the Sign of Realization, the Realizer himself or herself.
In the "Radical" Reality-Way of Adidam, then, This Body is the principal Form of My Instruction, not only the books I have made through This Body. The books are important, yes — but I Am the Teaching.
In the Reality-Way of Adidam, My Realization is the Teaching — not merely My Words of Instruction.

Avatar Adi Da's original, always present, and always primary Offering is Himself — a direct and sacred devotional relationship with Him based on recognition.
His Reality-Teaching is one of His Forms of Agency (or a "Vehicle" of Avatar Adi Da's Divine Grace and Awakening-Power) — literally, not metaphorically.
To read and truly receive His Heart-Word is to enjoy Avatar Adi Da's Transcendental Spiritual Heart-Transmission, His Liberating, Purifying, and Awakening Influence.
My Reality-Teaching is unparalleled Spiritual Transmission, occurring under the most extraordinary circumstances. It is not the product of an ordinary mind or a kind of scholarly commentary.
It is a direct expression of Spiritual Transformation, of Spiritual Power, of Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and (necessarily) Divine Being, Consciousness, and Love-Bliss. It does not arise in Me or through Me in any ordinary fashion. It is an utterly spontaneous and Transcendental Spiritual Event.
