If a person sees a picture of My Divinely-Avatarically-Born bodily (human) Divine Form, then it is up to that individual what he or she will do in response. If people do not respond to Me, on the basis of devotionally recognizing Me, they are merely responding to My Words-and that is not the basis for right practice of the Reality-Way of Adidam.
I should be preserved in My Silence here-As I Am. I should not be required to Speak.
The traditional Buddhist text Fifty Verses of Guru-Devotion2 contains the admonition: Do not do anything to disturb the Master’s mind. What does that admonition mean? It means that you must not provoke your Master to speak. It means: “Do not reduce your Master to words.” It does not mean that you should avoid bringing about bad thoughts in your Master. It means: “Do not provoke your Master to enter into the programmed ‘world’ of thought and speech. Let your Master Be.”
My Place of Choice (and of Perpetual Retreat) is where My devotees let Me Be, and (altogether) where people come to Me As I Am. “Knowing” Me on Sight is the beginning of Adidam. There-fore, the opportunity to Sight Me is the purpose of coming to My Sacred Chosen Place. Do not come to Me as a “talker”, or as someone coming on the basis of a “program”. When you come to Me, you must really and truly turn to Me-whole bodily, “inside” and “outside”. That, in essence, is the Reality-Way of Adidam. There may be Words from Me from time to time-but, if you reduce your practice of the Reality-Way of Adidam to an abstraction made of words, you have no lawful basis for coming to Me.
The disposition of the ancient Walk-About Way is simply to turn to the Realizer in the very moment of sighting the Realizer. Just so, My true devotees simply turn to Me on Sight. They turn to Me with everything “inside” and everything “outside”-such that the entire body-mind is turned to Me, rather than turned on itself and wandering in its patterning. Such devotional turning to Me is a simple matter. And those who do not immediately turn to Me on Sight should be served in such a manner that they can come to that point in due course.
My Sitting before you, without speaking, is Sufficient.
That mere Sitting without speaking is My Essential Teaching.
There is nothing more fundamental than That.
Simply Behold Me.
If you devotionally recognize Me, you will turn to Me and surrender to Me. If you devotionally recognize Me, you do not merely perform a genuflection as a mechanical ritual. You simply live in My service, perpetually attentive to Me. That is it.
If you devotionally recognize Me, you will come to Me constantly. Likewise, you will also Commune with Me constantly-wherever you are, always turning to Me. Yes, you will follow My Instructions-but always based on this fundamental turning to Me, which is based on the mere Sighting of Me.
Therefore, most basically, the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Reality-Way of Adidam is simply This:
Turn to Me on Sight.
That Is “It”.
