1995 Adi Da Samraj Gathers with devotees and Discourses on the Supreme Advantage He has Given to all who devotionally resort to Him.

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

“All of My ‘Years of Testing-by-Experience’ were associated with Identification with the ‘Bright’ Itself, My Own Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State. If you were just doing a ‘self’-generated Yogic practice with ‘techniques’, and so forth, you would still be bewildered and moved by seeking and ego-possession and ‘self’-contraction to conditional ends. But I Give you the Gift Which I, Myself, Am and by Which I always Benefitted in all My ‘Years of Testing-by-Experience’—the ‘Bright’.”

Adi Da then Says:

“Commune with Me, give yourself to Me, ‘Locate’ and ‘Know’ Me, be in Me, then you have exactly the same Advantage I had in My apparent ‘Years of Testing-by-Experience’—the Gift of Identification with the ‘Bright’, Myself.

This is your unique Advantage. But to enjoy that Advantage you must practice this ‘radical’ devotion to Me, this Great Yoga—devotional Communion with Me, ego-surrendering, ego-forgetting, ego-transcending—so that this Virtue, the ‘Bright’ Itself, becomes the basis of your moment to moment practice. This is what there is to Realize. It is also what quickens your practice.” ~Adi Da Samrajashram
