1995 Adi Da Samraj Gathers with devotees and “Considers” the seriousness required to grow beyond the beginner’s stage of practice.

His Divine Presence Parama-Sapta-Na Adi Da Says:

“The ego would adapt the body-mind-complex to ‘worldly’ and merely survival purposes. But the event in one who understands egoity, and is surrendered to Me truly, transforms ‘point of view’ and makes the body-mind-complex just Yoga, just alchemy, just surrender, just a transformative process in which the body-mind-complex is no longer used for conventional and ‘worldly’ purposes but is involved in this most profound surrender to Me.

The body-mind-complex must be made into a Yoga-body, conformed to Me through ‘radical’ devotion to Me, exercised through all the disciplines that I Call ‘conductivity’ practice. This is the seriousness of the beginner, as a way of preparing the body-mind-complex with capabilities, disciplined and purified, for entering and fulfilling the Seeing stages of the Reality-Way of Adidam.

Play it fast and loose—just this silly ‘worldly’ business of ego-games, old adaptations, and ‘Oedipal crapola’—and you can use up the rest of your life, and a lot more future lifetimes. That is all there will be, and you will be constantly returning to this gross, most fearful circumstance of mortality.”

Adi Da goes on to Say:

“Every one of My devotees who takes Me seriously is Mastered by Me. That is what it is to have a Guru. Not merely wandering in this ‘samsara’, this horror of death, thinking and dictating nonsense to yourself, and picking and choosing about the disciplines I Give you. Embrace Me. Subordinate egoity to Me. Surrender it to Me. Embrace My disciplines. Take My Blessing. Grow. Waste no time. Handle your life-business. Do not wonder about it, make it mysterious, or take a damn lot of years to do so! Get down to it, most directly. You can profoundly shorten the time of Listening to Me, and getting on to Hearing Me and Seeing Me, by taking Me seriously. That is what it takes.

If you want to be a fool, that is your business. If you want to build in time, that is your ‘problem’. But I have Told you, now and previously, what it takes for real. And those who do it for real will come to Me with right responsibilities, with a rightly transformed body-mind-complex, so that they can continue with Me.” ~Adi Da Samrajashram
