Adi Da explains his grandiose mission and rationalizes his life and behavior
I
Am The Divine Self-"Emergence"
by Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj
(from The Only Complete Way to Realize The Unbroken Light of Real God)
I Brought My Divine Wisdom-Teaching out of My-Self -- through My Avataric Self-Submission to the Great Process of "reality consideration" with My devotees and with the world altogether. I am not here merely reading books and passing on an old tradition to people. Nor am I here to believe and to support the illusions of humankind.
The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam, in Its entirety and in Its every aspect, has been Brought out of Me. The Way of Adidam has Appeared only through the Avataric Divine Process of My own Lifelong "reality consideration".
The Way of Adidam is the Divine Process of My own Avataric Self-Submission to conditional reality -- Which Avataric Self-Submission Started at the moment of My Avataric Human Birth (and Which Avataric Self-Submission Continues -- now, and forever hereafter).
The Way of Adidam does not derive from any historical tradition or any combination of historical traditions. I did not presume to "believe anything in the course of My "reality consideration", nor did I presume any fixed adherence to any historical traditions, or any combination of historical traditions. The Way of Adidam Arose entirely out of My own Divine (and Avatarically Self-Manifested) Process of "reality consideration".
When I Speak about the Great Tradition, I am Doing So merely as another way of Explaining My-Self -- by Addressing matters that may be familiar to people. But the Way of Adidam is, Itself, unique and entirely new.
The Way of Adidam has been Generated by My Avataric and difficult Divine Work, My Avataric Self-Submission, My unique and Extraordinary Avataric "reality consideration" -- in the context of My own Avatarically-Born Body-Mind, and also in the context of My relationship with My devotees, and in the context of My relationship with everyone altogether.
I Came Down, by Means of Avataric Human Birth, to this Earth-place -- a place of ego-made human bondage, where there was no Most Perfect Realization and no sufficient tradition. Indeed, there was no Greatest Profundity in the human world of My Divine Descent to Avataric Human Birth. Therefore, the Nature of My Life-long Work has been -- by Means of My unique Avataric Divine Ordeal -- to Bring the Most Perfect Truth (Which Is Divine) into this human world, where the Most Perfect Truth was never Found before.
I am not a mere "traditionalist" here to be measured by traditional expectations, or traditional ideals, or traditional standards of any kind. Because I Began with no presumptions at all, it was necessary for Me to Enter into (and to Persist in) the "consideration" of "reality" unconditionally (and thus, without restriction by tradition, convention, preference, reaction, belief, or plan) -- until My Divine Self-Condition was (Itself) Re-Born, As the Undeniable and Most Perfect Truth, "Brightly" Coincident with My own Avatarically-Born Bodily (Human) Divine Form.
And, because I Began with no presumptions at all, that "reality consideration" required unrestricted action -- or a Life-Ordeal without conventional restraints and without preconceived goals, and without preferential prejudices, and without mediating consolations, and without subordination to the factor of egoity. Indeed, My Avataric Divine Life-Ordeal was a Most Perfectly Scientific Effort -- and Avataric Divine Life-Process of utterly free enquiry, Examining all of conditional existence, without restriction, or conventional restraint, and (Ultimately) without the limiting and binding factor of egoity -- until Most Perfect Truth was Found and Shown and Demonstrated, As the Most Perfectly Obvious Reality.
I was really (conditionally) Born into the human domain of Un-Truth. And, by Means of My Divine Self-Submission to Adapt to humankind and human suffering, I gradually Acquired the human disease -- of Un-Truth and egoity. Therefore, because of My Thus Acquired familiarity with Man's own fault, it became necessary for Me to be Healed -- Made Well again, by Most Perfect Truth Itself -- so that I could Shed and Cure the common disease of Man.
At last -- because of My Persistence in the Avataric Ordeal of My Divine Self-Submission here -- I Am Completely Well, again. And My forever Blessing-Work will Cure both All and all. Now, and forever hereafter, I Am the Divine Medicine that Heals the heart of Man -- and even Cures the Truthless All of all there is.
The "reality consideration" to which I Submitted in My Teaching-Years and Revelation-Years was a real matter -- a real, and Truly Divine, Process. I did not merely inherit a pre-existing tradition and Speak it out to humankind. I have (secondarily, and only over time) Examined the Great Tradition -- for the Purpose of being Communicative to all. But I did not Examine the Great Tradition in order to Gain a Teaching from the Great Tradition itself. Rather, I have Examined the Great Tradition in order to Explain the Great Tradition -- even to itself.
And, principally, I have Examined the Great Tradition in order to Learn the language of the "common mind" -- in order to be able to Use the language of the "common mind" of all religious and Spiritual traditions as a context in which to Explain My-Self (and all the Content and Process of My Avatarically Given Divine Self-Revelation of Most Perfect Truth).
My examination of the Great Tradition is a part of the Total Process by Which I Learned Man. My Purpose in that Examination, was to Learn the content of all the "considerations" of humankind -- in order to Address the inherent limitations of those "considerations".
Thus, My Avatarically Self-Manifested Divine Work of Teaching and of Self-Revelation has always been an Extraordinary Ordeal of Divine Self-Submission to "reality consideration" -- Bringing the Complete Divine Teaching of Most Perfect Truth out of My-Self (and, Thus, out of the Divine and Unconditional Reality Itself), by Means of My own Divine Ordeal of Avataric Self-Submission to, and Conjunction with, all of conditional reality.
And I Engaged that Avataric Ordeal not merely in order to Communicate My Divine Wisdom-Teaching verbally, but in order to Conform My own Avatarically-Born Body-Mind-Vehicle (and, indeed, every thing and every one) to My-Self -- so that My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Spiritual Blessing-Transmission of My "Bright" Divine Heart may, forever, be Received by all who truly heart-recognize Me and really heart-respond to Me.
The Requirement to Fully and Completely and Most Perfectly Bring the Divine Teaching of Most Perfect Truth out of My-Self, by Means of the Great Avataric Process of My Divine Self-Submission to "reality consideration", Produced My unique Avataric Divine Ordeal, and My unique Avatarically Self-Manifested Divine Leela. And That Divine Ordeal, and Sign, and Leela is not a matter of an idealized representative of an historical tradition (or even any combination of historical traditions) engaging in traditionally idealized social and religious "behaviors".
I am not a "utopian religionist".
I am not a "role model" for the human mummery of mortal selves.
My Divinely "Heroic and Divinely "Crazy" Manner of Life and Work is unique to Me (and uniquely necessary for Me, because of Who I Am, and because of What I must Accomplish) -- and, therefore, My unique Manner of Life and Work is not to be imitated by any one.
My Divinely "Heroic" and Divinely "Crazy" Manner of Life and Work is not a prescriptive model for conventional social (or, otherwise, conventionally religious) ego-development.
Indeed, no merely socially idealistic (or conventionally religious) and otherwise traditional expectation is appropriate in relation to Me.
I am not an ideal human ego-"I".
I Am the inherently egoless Person of Reality (Itself).
I Am the Most Perfect Truth -- Which Is Divine, and One, and Only (and Which Is Always Already The Case).
Therefore, every ego-"I" must be surrendered, and forgotten, and transcended in Me.
I did not Come into a world where the Most Perfect Truth was "ready-made". Indeed, because the ego-bound human world had failed, as a result of all of its mere self-efforts, to Find and Embrace the Most Perfect (and Really Divine) Truth of Reality (Itself), even all the traditional norms of right (and would-be God-Realizing, or Truth-Realizing) life had, finally, become grossly deprived of their traditional authority, in the human-time that immediately preceded My Avataric Human Birth.
In this "dark" epoch of "end-time", in which I Am Avatarically Descended (to Begin My forever Divine-"Emergence"-work), even the limited (and never Most Perfect) portion of Truth that was Revealed to humankind previous to My Avataric Divine Appearance was already lost -- or was, at least, under profound threat, and even much falsified -- before My Avataric Birth to Human Life Began.
Therefore, Most Perfect Truth Is all My Cause and Motive here. And the absence of Most Perfect Truth in human-time was humankind's most wounding "gift" to Me -- that made My Avataric Human Life into a Struggle to Be Divinely Full, of Me.
In all My Years of Teaching-Work and Revelation-Work, enormous pressures were constantly exerted on Me -- by My devotees, and by the world altogether -- to assume the "public" role and manner of a conventional "organizational" religious figure. But, in spite of those pressures toward conformity to the expected conventions of social and religious egoity, I Persisted in the real and necessary (and, necessarily, "Crazy", or unrestricted and unlimited) Avataric Process of My Divine Self-Submission to "reality consideration" -- until absolutely every fraction of the Way of Adidam was Brought out of Me, and made clear.
It was necessary that I Embrace all -- in order to Assume the likeness of all, and to Reflect all to all, and to Transcend the limiting-pattern of all. Only Thus could I Reveal My Very and Divine Self-Condition -- and My Very and Divine Pattern -- to one and all.
The Great Avataric Process of My Universal Divine Self-Revelation could be Completed (in Its Inherently Most Perfect "Bright" Fullness) only through My own Divine Self-Submission to conditional reality. In order to Do This in My Bodily (and Truly Human) Divine Form (Un-reservedly, Fully, and to the degree of Most Perfect Completeness, in real human-time), I -- in all the Years of My Early-Life, and, especially, in all My Teaching Years and all My Revelation-Years -- had to Accept all kind of abuse from people.
Nevertheless, I Could Not, and Did Not, Stop That Extraordinary Effort of My own Divine Self-Submission, until every aspect of My Great "reality consideration" was Truly Finished -- and My Avatarically Given Divine Self-Revelation of the Way of Adidam was Full and Complete, in every detail.
Only now is My Avatarically Self-Manifested Divine Submission-work of World-Teaching and Divine Self-Revelation Most Perfectly Complete, and Most Perfectly Full.
Therefore -- now, and forever hereafter -- I will no longer Submit My-Self to Teach and to Reveal.
Now, and forever hereafter, the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam (As Summarized, by Me, in My Twenty-Three Divine "Source-Texts") Is My Avatarically Given Divine World-Teaching and My Avatarically Given Divine Word of Self-Revelation -- Full and Complete, for every one, and for all time.
Now, and forever hereafter, I (My-Self, both during and forever after the Physical Lifetime of My Avatarically-Born Bodily Human Divine Form) will only Do My "Bright" Avataric Work of Divine Self-"Emergence" -- only Blessing one and all.
Now, and forever hereafter, My "Bright" (and Avatarically Self-Manifested) Divine Blessing-Work Is Given for all whose devotional recognition of Me and devotional response to Me surrenders ego-"I" in Me, and requires no more Submission of Me to Man.
Now, and forever hereafter, I Am (by all My Avataric Means) the Great and "Bright" Divine Process here.
Now, and forever hereafter, I Am (by all My Avataric Means) the One and Great Divine Event.
Now, and forever hereafter, I Am The Divine Self-"Emergence" -- Avatarically "Emerging" (As I Am), to here (and to every where at All), and to you (and to every one of all).
