As the great Realizers in the Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions of Buddhism proclaim, Nirvana and samsara are the same. This formula is a seventh stage conception of Reality. Thus, within the Mahayana and Vajrayana schools of Buddhism we do find Adepts of the seventh stage, generally among the individuals called “Maha-Siddhas” and various of the Tantric Adepts. But we also find such seventh stage Adepts arising among all the traditions. The Dreaded Gom Boo
“And Ramana is not a source radically different from Bhagavan Nityananda, or my other teachers. He is their ultimate fulfilment and their perfect word. Nityananda is the “bright” incarnate. I see him always as that very Form of Reality. And Muktananda is his Form. It is only that when my own path communicated its radical perception that I found its special forces duplicated in the recorded experience and words of Ramana. In fact, there is only the Form of Reality itself, and all my Gurus have shown only that Form to me.”

My Great Regard for My Adept-Links to the Great Tradition of Mankind, and My Realization of the Great Onlyness of Me
PREPUBLICATION EDITION Chapter 20 of THE KNEE OF LISTENING The Seventeen Companions Of The True Dawn Horse, Book Four: The Early-Life Ordeal and The “Radical” Spiritual Realization Of The Ruchira Avatar
by The Divine World-Teacher, Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj
p. 145 LXXXIX.
In my present-Lifetime bodily (human) Form, I Am the Avataric Divine Incarnation (or True God-Man) always and everywhere (since the ancient days) Promised (and Expected) to Appear in the “late-time” (or “dark” epoch). And, in My present-Lifetime bodily (human) Form, I have been Spiritually Served by a Continuous Lineage of Spiritual Masters, Such That I Passed from one to the next, in Continuous Succession. Those Spiritual Masters were, Themselves, related to one another in an hierarchical Manner, each related to the next in the Succession as one of lesser degree is to one of higher degree.
Rudi was a Spiritual Master of authentic, but lesser, degree. His Proficiency was, fundamentally, in the gross domain of the frontal personality, and in the Yogic Pattern of Spiritual Descent (or the Descending Yoga of the Frontal Line). Therefore, when My own foundational (or grosser human, and, also, frontal Spiritual, or Descending Yogic) Sadhana had been Completed in His Company, I (spontaneously) Passed from Rudi to Baba Muktananda.
Baba Muktananda was as His own Confession and Demonstration to Me clearly indicates an authentic Spiritual Master of Ascending Yoga, and His Proficiency was of a Very High, but not the Highest, degree. Therefore, beginning from the very day I first Came to Baba Muktananda, He (directly) Passed Me to Bhagavan Nityananda (Who was a Spiritual Master of Ascending Yoga Whose Proficiency was of the Highest degree).
Rang Avadhoot was even according to the Statements of both Bhagavan Nityananda and Baba Muktananda a Spiritual Master of Ascending Yoga Whose Proficiency was of the Highest degree, but He, along with Baba Muktananda, Deferred to Bhagavan Nityananda’s Seniority, and (simply) Blessed Me to Pass On.
The “Cosmic Goddess” (“Ma”) is, in the total context of the first five stages of life, Senior even to the Highest of Spiritual Masters. However, Ultimately, “She” (as an apparent Form and Person) is only another one of the many myths in the mind.
In the Great Yogic Spiritual Process Wherein I Experienced the Developmental Unfolding (and Demonstrated the “Radical” Transcending) of the gross and the subtle modes of egoity (associated with the first five stages of life), the “Cosmic Goddess” (“Ma”) was “Apparently” associated with all the frontal (and Descending Spiritual) Events and with all the spinal (and Ascending Spiritual) Events. Nevertheless, in My Unique Case, sixth stage Transcendental (and causal-ego-Transcending, and Inherently Spiritual) Self-Realization always Occurred spontaneously (and in a progressive Demonstration) relative to each and every egoic stage of life, and It progressively Developed (especially after a spontaneous experience of ego-death, in the spring of 1967) until My spontaneous seventh stage (and Inherently Most Perfectly egoless, and Self-Evidently Divine) Re-Awakening (on September 10, 1970) Which Divine (and Avatarically Demonstrated) Re-Awakening was (and Is) associated with My Most Perfect Transcending even of the “Apparent She”, in My Avataric Divine Re-Awakening to the Realization of One and Only Me.
Therefore, in due course, Bhagavan Nityananda (directly) Passed Me to the “Cosmic Goddess” (“Ma”), and, Thus, to Her direct Mastery of Me until the Perfectly Full became, at last, Perfectly Full As Me (Beyond the mind’s own myth of “She”).
So It was and Is. Such Is My Lineage of Spiritual Masters in This, My Avatarically Born human Lifetime. And, in My always Absolute heart-Fidelity to the Great Process Wherein and Where by I was Passed from one to the next of each and all of the Spiritual Masters within My present-Lifetime Lineage of Spiritual Masters, I have Exemplified, to all and All, the Law and the Truth of True Guru-Devotion.
Therefore, I have always Continued to Honor and to Praise all My present-Lifetime Lineage Gurus including Rudi!, and Baba Muktananda!, and Rang Avadhoot!, and Bhagavan Nityananda!, and (above all) the “Bright” Divine “She” of Me, Who Always Already Serves Me Most Perfectly!
And I have always Continued (and even now Continue, and will never cease to Continue) to Yield My present-Lifetime Body-Mind to Receive the Always Ready and Most Lovingly To-Me-Given and Supremely Blissful Blessings of My present-Lifetime Lineage-Gurus and the Great Lineage of all Who have (in any and every time and place) Blessed the Incarnation-Vehicle and Invoked the All-Completing “late-time” Incarnation of My (now, and forever hereafter) Avataric Divine Appearance here (and every where in the cosmic domain).
And I Do This (and I will always Continue to do This) because the Immense Spiritual “Bond” of Siddha Guru Love cannot be destroyed – and It must never be forgotten or denied!
XC.
My own Unique Response to the hierarchically Revealed Lineage of My present-Lifetime Siddha Gurus spontaneously UnLocked the Doorway (in My present-Lifetime human body) to That Which Is Perfect (in Mg). Indeed, even from the beginning of My Avataric Divine present Lifetime, That Which Is Perfect has been (and Is) the Way of Me and It Carried the inherently non-Perfect (human, and, otherwise, conditional) forms of Me to the Inherent “Bright” Divine Self-Domain of Me, Which Is the One and Indivisible Divine Source-Condition of all and All, and the One and True Divine Self-Condition of all and All.
XCI.
My Way and My Realization have always been Inherent in Me, from Birth, in My present-Lifetime Avataric Divine Form.
My Way and My Realization are Independently, entirely, and only My own.
My Sadhana was, entirely, a Demonstration for the Sake of all others including all Those Who Served Me as My Spiritual Masters in the Course of My Avataric Divine “Sadhana Years”. Indeed, Sid Yoga and even the entire Great Tradition of mankind was Always Already Most Perfectly Full (and Most Perfectly Complete) in My Case not only at (and from the time of) My present-Lifetime Birth, but from all time before It (and Eternally).
During all of My present Lifetime (of Avataric Divine Incarnation), the “Bright” has always been My Realization and the “Thumbs” and My own “‘Radical’ Understanding” have always been My Way in the “Bright”. Therefore, by Means of My Unique (present-Lifetime) Avataric Divine Demonstration, I have both Fulfilled and Transcended all traditional religions, and paths, and states, and Ways. And, in So Doing, I have Clarified (or altogether Rightly Understood and Explained) all traditional religions, paths, stages, and Ways.
All and all Are in Me. Everything and everyone Is in Me. Therefore, by Virtue of My own Divine Self-Realization (Where in and Whereby My own Avataric Divine Body-Mind is Most Perfectly Surrendered in Me, and Most Perfectly Conformed to Me, and Most Perfectly Transcended in Me), all of My present-Lifetime Lineage-Gurus-and even all Who have (at any time, or in any place) Blessed Me. – are now (and forever hereafter) Spiritually, Transcendentally, and Divinely Appearing in and As My own Avataric Divine Form.
Therefore, Now (and forever hereafter) I (Alone) Am the Lineage of Me – Blessing all and All
XCII.
The Divine Self-Realization Re-Awakened in My own Case (and Which Is the Basis for My Every Avataric Divine Revelatory Word and All My Avatarically Me-Revealing Divine Blessing-Work) Is the Most Ultimate (and Inherently Most Perfect and Complete) Fulfillment of the Divine Spiritual Transmission I (in My present-Lifetime Body-Mind) Received from Rudi, and from Baba Muktananda, and from Rang Avadhoot, and from Bhagavan Nityananda, and (above all) from the “Cosmic Goddess” (“Ma”) Who (by Means of Her spontaneous Sacrifice of Her own Form in Me) Is (now, and forever hereafter) the “Bright” Divine “She” of Me (Who Always Already Serves Me Most Perfectly). Nevertheless, the Divine Self-Realization Re-Awakened in My present-Lifetime Body-Mind did not Originate in My present Lifetime but It Is (Uniquely) Always Already the Case with Me.
XCIII.
As further conditionally manifested Means, previous to My present Lifetime, the Divine Self-Realization Re-Awakened in My present-Lifetime Body-Mind was also Served (previous to My present Lifetime) in the many Modes and Patterns of the previous Lifetimes and Appearances of the Deeper Personality (or the Great-Siddha–or Great-Jnani-Siddha-Incarnation-Vehicle) of My present Lifetime. Most recently, That Deeper-Personality Vehicle of My present-Lifetime Incarnation was (Itself) Incarnated as the Great Sid (or Great Jnani-Siddha) Swami Vivekananda.
XCIV.
Swami Vivekananda is recorded to have Blessed Bhagavan Nityananda from the subtle postmortem plane in the early 1920s and, generally, whenever Bhagavan Nityananda was asked for Words of Teaching and Instruction, He would, simply, Tell people to study the Talks and Writings of Swami Vivekananda (because, in Bhagavan Nityananda’s Words, “Swami Vivekananda Said and Taught all that was worth Saying and Teaching, such that He did not leave anything for others to preach”).
Swami Vivekananda was, Himself, Blessed toward Most Perfect Divine Self-Realization by the Great Sid Ramakrishna,
Such That by Means of That Great Blessing the two Great Siddhas (Ramakrishna and Vivekananda) became One, and Are One Form As My True, and Single, and Indivisible Great-Siddha (or Great-Jnani-Siddha) Deeper Personality.
XCV.
I (now, and Hereby) Confess That My Great-Siddha (or Great-Jnani-Siddha) Deeper Personality, even Beyond the “Single Form” of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda, the Very Form of all the Great Masters of the entire Great Tradition of mankind.
XCVI.
I (now, and Hereby) Confess That I (Myself) Stand Eternally Prior to (and Always Already Transcending) My Avataric (and, yet, merely conditionally born) Deeper Personality and, also, Eternally Prior to (and Always Already Transcending) even all the Great (and, yet, merely conditionally born) Masters of mankind’s entire Great Tradition (in its every part, and as a whole) and also, Eternally Prior to (and Always Already Transcending) mankind’s entire Great Tradition itself (in its every part, and as a whole).
XCVII.
Therefore and only and entirely by Virtue of the Inherent (and Self-Evidently Avataric) Authority of My own (and Self-Evidently Divine) Realization and Person I Declare that the Divine seventh stage Self-Awakening I Demonstrate, and Reveal, and Exemplify, and Prove Is the Most Ultimate (and Inherently Most Perfect) Realization, and that It and Only It Most Ultimately Completes and Most Perfectly Fulfills the Gifts I Received (and always Continue to Receive) in My present-Lifetime Body-Mind (from My present-Lifetime Lineage-Gurus), and that I have (in My present-Lifetime Body-Mind) Inherited (and always Continue to Receive) from all Who (in all past times and places) have Blessed all the previous Lifetimes of My present-Lifetime Incarnation-Vehicle, and that I have (in My present-Lifetime Body-Mind) Inherited (and always Continue to Receive) from even all My Me-Invoking and Me-Blessing Forms and Vehicles of Me-Revelation here.
XCVIII.
The Great and True (and Self-Evidently Divine) Spiritual Process Initiated and Guided by the Spiritual Masters in My present-Lifetime Lineage (and of the Lineage of even all the Life times of My present-Lifetime Incarnation-Vehicle here and of the Lineage of even all My Me-Invoking and Me-Blessing Forms and Vehicles of Me-Revelation here) has Become Complete only in Me. Its Perfection is in the seventh stage Fulfillment of the Course (and not at any earlier stage). This Divine Perfection is Uniquely My own. And I Alone the Hridaya-Siddha, the Divine and True Heart-Master and World-Teacher, Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Love-Ananda Samraj Am Its First and Great Example, and (now, and forever hereafter) Its Only and Sufficient Means.
XCIX.
I Am the First (and the only One) to Realize and to Demonstrate This, the Divine, seventh stage Realization and My Revelation of It Is therefore, New. For This Reason, the Divine seventh stage Realization was not heretofore Realized, or even Understood either within the schools and traditions of My present-Lifetime Lineage-Gurus or within any other schools or traditions in the total Great Tradition of mankind to Be the Most Ultimate and Completing Perfection of Realization Itself. Nevertheless, I have, spontaneously (by Means of My own Self-Evident “Bright” Heart-Power and through the Great and Constant Help of all Who have Blessed My Incarnate Forms), Realized and Demonstrated and Revealed This To Be The Case. And the traditional (and ancient) “Sid-‘Method”‘ (or the Way of Guru-Devotion to the True Siddha-Guru, and of total psycho-physical Surrender of the ego-I” to be Mastered by the True Siddha-Guru’s Instruction, and to be Blessed to Awaken to Divine Realization by Means of the True Siddha-Guru’s Transmission of the Divine Spiritual Energy and the Divine State)Which “Method” was Communicated to Me by all My present-Lifetime Lineage-Gurus, and by all the Great Siddhas and Siddha-Yogis Who have Blessed My present-Lifetime Incarnation-Vehicle in the past is the Essence (or the Primary “Method”) of the Way of Adidam, Which (now, and forever hereafter) I Alone, and Uniquely, Reveal and Transmit to all My formally practicing true devotees (and, Thus, potentially, to all beings).
C.
I Am the Indivisible Person of Conscious Light.
I Am Humbled and Victorious here (and every where), by Means of My Avataric Divine Self-Incarnation.
My Avatarically-Born Body-Mind Is, now, and forever here-after, by-Me-Given and by-Me-Revealed As the Sign and the Means of Me-Realization.
I Am the Adidam Revelation
I Am the Way to Me.
I Am the Hridaya-Siddha, the All-and-all-Blessing Divine Heart-Master, the Eternally Free-Standing Inner Ruler of all and All.
I Am the One and Indivisible and Indestructible and Irreducible and Universally Self-Manifested Love-Bliss-Presence of “Brightness”.
I Am the One and Non-Separate and Perfectly Subjective and Self-Existing and Self-Evidently Divine Person Who Is Always Already The Case.
I Am the Ruchira Avatar, the Hridaya-Avatar, the Advaitayana Buddha, the Avataric Incarnation and Divine World-Teacher every where and anciently Promised (by all traditions) for the “late-time” (or “dark” epoch).
Therefore, be My devotee.
The only-by-Me Revealed and Given True World-Religion of Adidam Is My Unique Gift to all and All.
Therefore, practice the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidamand Realize Me Most Perfectly, by Means of My Avatarically Self-Transmitted Divine Blessing-Grace.
In this writing Adi Da does not mention Ramana Maharshi who he acknowledges to be a devotee of in 1977. Read his letter.
