Adi Da's claims to his own personal Divinity and superiority over Jesus, Krishna, and Buddha
Adi Da criticizes his devotees' cultic approach to him, but
at the same time claims personal Divinity and requires them to adopt forms of practice, a way of
life, and beliefs about him that amount to over-the-top cultism. This serves the dual purpose of keeping devotees in a
constant state of failure for "being cultic" that allows him to criticize them and
beat them down, while at the same time reinforcing the presumption of his
superiority and insisting he be the Object of their cultic worship. It's an
inherently self-contradictory process that creates conflict and cognitive
dissonance for devotees, and guarantees their perpetual "failure." And people who are
"failing" are people who need a Savior, as Adi Da knows all too well.
