Introduction by Beezone
Please Do Not Misunderstand
Adi Da Samraj.
He is not making any grand claims about God, Divinity or
Truth.
He is simply stating Reality, Truth and God,
As He Is.
Realized and
Radiating.
This is my understanding
of Him.
He is NOT making an exclusive Communication.
What He is stating has always been stated
and Realized
To one degree
Or another
By Realizers.
Now Fully
Revealed,
For a New Epoch,
In a New Time.
Don’t confuse your limited
Cultural
Understanding with
Truth.
When He states ‘I Am’
The Only,
He is not exclusively
referring to
A limited body-mind.
If you do
You are missing
His point.
For you will only be looking at
Your defended
And offended
self.
His Communication,
“I Am”,
Is Beyond,
Not
Grand,
Just Beyond.
The Bright
Form
Dissolves
Mind
In the Heart.
Or,
It will
Collapse
Like a black hole
Sucking all the universes
To a point of contraction,
In your heart.
Remember what He is
Saying,
I Am That
And so are you.
But also remember,
There is no you!
In That.
There is Only Him
Realized
As One.
His Realization
Potentially,
Is your realization,
When Realized.
Not by you
but By Him.
Don’t get lost
In pronouns.
There is
ONLY ONE
Realization
and He Is That!
Fully,
Always Prior,
Transcendental,
Immanent,
Non-Conditional,
yet conditional.
In Form,
A Paradox
To your limited understanding.
He is Not in the Middle.
He is Not Between.
He Is Here.
The only difference is you.
And so,
One,
Universal,
Temperal,
All of Mankind Is Surrounded,
and Pervaded,
and Blessed By
That One.
Him,
Me.
Not pronouns!
There is ONLY
ONE WORLD,
ONE UNIVERSE
In all is Billions
and Billions
of Reflections.
For your benefit,
and Understanding.
Please Do Not Misunderstand
Him,
Me,
Your
self.
The Text
My First Word – Adi Da’s Essay, First Word, appears at
the beginning of many of His Source Texts.
Editorial note.
This the following essay has been written by Avatar
Adi Da Samraj as His Personal Introduction to each volume of
His “Source-Texts”. Its purpose is to help you to understand
His great Confessions rightly, and not interpret His Words
from a conventional point of view, as limited cultic
statements made by an ego. His Description of what “cultism”
really is is an astounding and profound Critique of mankinds
entire religious, scientific, and social search. In “First
Word”, Avatar Adi Da is directly inviting you to inspect and
relinquish the egos motive to glorify itself and to refuse
What is truly Great. Only by understanding this fundamental
ego-fault can one really receive the Truth that Adi Da
Samraj Reveals in this Book and in His Wisdom-Teaching
altogether. And it is because this fault is so engrained and
so largely unconscious that Avatar Adi Da has placed “First
Word” at the beginning of each of His “Source-Texts”, so
that, each time you begin to read one of his twenty-three
“Source-Texts”, you may be refreshed and strengthened in
your understanding of the right orientation and approach to
Him and his Heart-Word.
My First Word
Adi Da Samraj
TRUTH ITSELF
Original
Yes! There is no religion, no Way of God, no Way of
Divine Realization, no Way of Enlightenment, and no Way of
Liberation that is Higher or Greater than Truth Itself.
Indeed, there is no religion, no science, no man or woman,
no conditionally manifested being of any kind, no world (any
“where”), and no “God” (or “God”-Idea) that is Higher or
Greater than Truth Itself.

Yes!
There is no religion,
no Way of God,
no Way of Divine Realization,
no Way of Enlightenment,
and no Way of Liberation
that is Higher or Greater
than Truth Itself.
Indeed,
there is no religion,
no science,
no man or woman,
no conditionally manifested being
of any kind,
no world,
and no “God”
that is
Higher or Greater
than Truth Itself.
NO EGO
Original
Therefore, no ego-“I” (or presumed separate, and,
necessarily, actively separative, and, at best, only
Truth-seeking, being or “thing”) is (itself) Higher or
Greater than Truth Itself. And no ego-“I” is (itself) even
Equal to Truth Itself. And no ego-“I” is (itself) even (now,
or ever) Able to Realize Truth Itselfbecause,
necessarily, Truth (Itself) Inherently Transcends (or Is
That Which Is Higher and Greater than) every one (himself or
herself) and every “thing” (itself). Therefore, it is only
in the transcending (or the “radical” Process of Going
Beyond the root, the cause, and the act) of egoity itself
(or of presumed separateness, and of performed
separativeness, and of even all ego-based seeking for Truth
Itself) that Truth (Itself) Is Realized (As It Is, Utterly
Beyond the ego-“I” itself).

Therefore, no ego-“I”
is
Higher

than Truth Itself.
And no ego-“I” is

to Truth Itself.
And no ego-“I”
is even
Able

Truth Itself
because,
necessarily,
Truth
Inherently Transcends
every one
and

Therefore,
it is only
in the transcending
of egoity itself
that Truth
Is Realized.
TRUTH, REALITY and
RELIGION
Original
Truth (Itself) Is That Which Is Always Already The Case.
That Which Is The Case (Always, and Always Already) Is
(necessarily) Reality. Therefore, Reality (Itself) Is Truth,
and Reality (Itself) Is the Only Truth.
Beezone – removal or

Truth Is
That Which Is
Always Already
The Case.
That Which Is
The Case
Is Reality.
Therefore,
Reality
Is Truth,
and
Reality Is
the Only Truth.
Reality (Itself) Is the Only, and (necessarily)
Non-Separate (or All-and-all-Including, and
All-and-all-Transcending) One and “What” That Is. Because It
Is All and all, and because It Is (Also) That Which
Transcends (or Is Higher and Greater than) All and all,
Reality (Itself)Which Is Truth (Itself), or That Which
Is The Case (Always, and Always Already)Is the One and
Only Real God. Therefore, Reality (Itself) Is (necessarily)
the One and Great Subject of true religion, and Reality
(Itself) Is (necessarily) the One and Great Way of Real God,
Real (and True) Divine Realization, Real (and, necessarily,
Divine) En-Light-enment,3 and Real (and, necessarily,
Divine) Liberation (from all egoity, all separateness, all
separativeness, all fear, and all heartlessness).
Beezone – removal or
parentheticals – edit
Reality Is
the Only,
and Non-Separate One
and “What”
That Is.
Because It Is
All and all,
and
because
It Is
That Which
Transcends
All and all,
Reality
Which Is Truth,
or
That Which Is The Case
Is the One
and Only
Real God.
Therefore,
Reality Is
the One
and
Great Subject
of true religion,
and
Reality Is
the One
and
Great Way
of Real God,
Real Divine Realization,
Real En-Light-enment,
and
Real Liberation.
Original
The only true religion is the religion that Realizes
Truth. The only true science is the science that Knows
Truth. The only true man or woman (or being of any kind) is
one that Surrenders to Truth. The only true world is one
that Embodies Truth. And the only True (and Real) God Is the
One Reality (or Condition of Being) That Is Truth.
Therefore, Reality (Itself)Which Is the One and Only
Truth, and (therefore, necessarily) the One and Only Real
Godmust become (or be made) the constantly applied
Measure of religion, and of science, and of the world
itself, and of even all of the life (and all of the mind) of
Manor else religion, and science, and the world
itself, and even any and every sign of Man inevitably (all,
and together) become a pattern of illusions, a mere (and
even terrible) “problem”, the very (and even principal)
cause of human seeking, and the perpetual cause of
contentious human strife. Indeed, if religion, and science,
and the world itself, and the total life (and the total
mind) of Man are not Surrendered and Aligned to Reality
(Itself), and (Thus) Submitted to be Measured (or made
Lawful) by Truth (Itself), and (Thus) Given to the truly
devotional (and, thereby, truly ego-transcending)
Realization of That Which Is the Only Real Godthen, in
the presumed “knowledge” of mankind, Reality (Itself), and
Truth (Itself), and Real God (or the One and Only Existence,
or Being, or Person That Is) ceases to Exist.

SATSANG
Original
The greatest opportunity, and the greatest
responsibility, of My devotees is Satsang with MeWhich
is to live in the Condition of ego-surrendering,
ego-forgetting, and (always more and more) ego-transcending
devotional relationship to Me, and (Thus and Thereby) to
Realize My Avatarically Self-Revealed (and Self-Evidently
Divine) Self-Condition, Which Is the Self-Evidently Divine
Heart (or Non-Separate Self-Condition and Non-“Different”11
Source-Condition) of all and All, and Which Is Self-Existing
and Self-Radiant Consciousness Itself, but Which is not
separate in or as any one (or any “thing”) at all.
Therefore, My essential Divine Gift to one and all is
Satsang with Me. And My essential Divine Work with one and
all is Satsang-Workto Live (and to Be Merely Present)
As the Avatarically Self-Revealed Divine Heart among My
devotees.

The only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam (Which is
the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of the Heart, or the
only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of “Radical”
Understanding, or Ruchira Avatara Hridaya-Siddha Yoga) is
the Way of Satsang with Methe devotionally
Me-recognizing and devotionally to-Me-responding practice
(and ego-transcending self-discipline) of living in My
constant Divine Company, such that the relationship with Me
becomes the Real (and constant) Condition of life.
Fundamentally, this Satsang with Me is the one thing done by
My devotees. Because the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way
of Adidam is always (in every present-time moment) a
directly ego-transcending and Really Me-Finding practice,
the otherwise constant (and burdensome) tendency to seek is
not exploited in this Satsang with Me. And the essential
work of the community of the four formal congregations of My
devotees is to make ego-transcending Satsang with Me
available to all others.

expressed devotional love of Me, I Speak My Avatarically
Self-Revealing Divine Word to My devotees, and they (because
of their devotional response to Me) bring My Avatarically
Self-Revealing Divine Word to all others. Therefore, even
though I am not (and have never been, and never will be) a
“public” Teacher (or a broadly publicly active, and
conventionally socially conformed, “religious figure”), My
devotees function fully and freely (as My devotees) in the
daily public world of ordinary life.

I expect this formal discipline of right devotional
approach to Me to have been freely and happily embraced by
every one who would enter into My physical Company. The
natural human reason for this is that there is a potential
liability inherent in all human associations. And the root
and nature of that potential liability is the ego (or the
active human presumption of separateness, and the ego-act of
human separativeness). Therefore, in order that the
liabilities of egoity are understood (and voluntarily and
responsibly disciplined) by those who approach Me, I require
demonstrated right devotion (based on really effective
self-understanding and truly heart-felt devotional
recognition-response to Me) as the basis for any ones right
to enter into My physical Company. And, in this manner, not
only the egoic tendency, but also the tendency toward
religious “cultism”, is constantly undermined in the
only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam.

TRAP
Original
Because people appear within this human condition, this
simultaneously attractive and frightening “dream” world,
they tend to liveand to interpret both the conditional
(or cosmic and psycho-physical) reality and the
Unconditional (or Divine) Realityfrom the “point of
view” of this apparent (and bewildering) mortal human
condition. And, because of this universal human bewilderment
(and the ongoing human reaction to the threatening force of
mortal life-events), there is an even ancient ritual that
all human beings rather unconsciously (or automatically, and
without discriminative understanding) desire and tend to
repeatedly (and under all conditions) enact. Therefore,
wherever you see an association of human beings gathered for
any purpose (or around any idea, or symbol, or person, or
subject of any kind), the same human bewilderment-ritual is
tending to be enacted by one and all.

Human beings always tend to encircle (and, thereby, to
containand, ultimately, to entrap and abuse, or even
to blithely ignore) the presumed “center” of their
livesa book, a person, a symbol, an idea, or whatever.
They tend to encircle the “center” (or the “middle”), and
they tend to seek to exclusively acquire all “things” (or
all power of control) for the circle (or toward the
“middle”) of themselves. In this manner, the group becomes
an ego (“inward”-directed, or separate and
separative)just as the individual body-mind becomes,
by self-referring self-contraction, the separate and
separative ego-“I” (“inward”-directed, or
ego-centricand exclusively acquiring all “things”, or
all power of control, for itself). Thus, by self-contraction
upon the presumed “center” of their liveshuman beings,
in their collective ego-centricity, make “cults” (or
bewildered and frightened “centers” of power, and control,
and exclusion) in every area of life.

Original
Anciently, the “cult”-making process was done, most
especially, in the political and social sphereand
religion was, as even now, mostly an exoteric (or political
and social) exercise that was always used to legitimize (or,
otherwise, to “de-throne”) political and social
“authority-figures”. Anciently, the cyclically (or even
annually) culminating product of this exoteric
religio-political “cult” was the ritual “de-throning” (or
ritual deposition) of the one in the “middle” (just as, even
in these times, political leaders are periodically
“deposed”by elections, by rules of term and
succession, by scandal, by slander, by force, and so
on).

as even now,
mostly an exoteric exercise
that was always
used
to legitimize
political and social “authority-figures”.
Anciently,
the cyclically culminating product
of this exoteric religio-political “cult”
was the ritual “de-throning”
of the one in the “middle” .
Original
Everywhere throughout the ancient world, traditional
societies made and performed this annual (or otherwise
periodic) religio-political “cult” ritual. The ritual of
“en-throning” and “de-throning” was a reflection of the
human observation of the annual cycle of the seasons of the
natural worldand the same ritual was a reflection of
the human concern and effort to control the signs potential
in the cycle of the natural world, in order to ensure human
survival (through control of weather, harvests and every
kind of “fate”, or even every fraction of existence upon
which human beings depend for both survival and pleasure, or
psycho-physical well-being). Indeed, the motive behind the
ancient agrarian (and, later, urbanized, or universalized)
ritual of the one in the “middle” was, essentially, the same
motive that, in the modern era, takes the form of the
culture of scientific materialism (and even all of the
modern culture of materialistic “realism”): It is the motive
to gain (and to maintain) control, and the effort to control
even everything and everyone (via both knowledge and gross
power). Thus, the ritualized, or bewildered yes/no (or
desire/fear), life of mankind in the modern era is,
essentially, the same as that of mankind in the ancient
days.

In the ancient ritual of “en-throning” and “de-throning”,
the person (or subject) in the “middle” was ritually mocked,
abused, deposed, and banishedand a new person (or
subject) was installed in the “center” of the
religio-political “cult”. In the equivalent modern ritual of
dramatized ambiguity relative to everything and everyone
(and, perhaps especially, “authority-figures”), the person
(or symbol, or idea) in the “middle” (or that which is given
power by means of popular fascination) is first “cultified”
(or made much of), and then (progressively) doubted, mocked,
and abuseduntil, at last, all the negative emotions
are (by culturally and socially ritualized dramatization)
dissolved, the “middle” (having thus ceased to be
fascinating) is abandoned, and a “new” person (or symbol, or
idea) becomes the subject of popular fascination (only to be
reduced, eventually, to the same “cultic” ritual, or cycle
of “rise” and “fall”).

Just as in every other area of human life, the tendency
of all those who (in the modern era) would become involved
in religious or Spiritual life is also to make a “cult”, a
circle that ever increases its separate and separative
dimensionsbeginning from the “center”, surrounding it,
and (perhaps) even (ultimately) controlling it (such that it
altogether ceases to be effective, or even interesting).
Such “cultism” is ego-based, and ego-reinforcingand,
no matter how “esoteric” it presumes itself to be, it is (as
in the ancient setting) entirely exoteric, or (at least)
more and more limited to (and by) merely social (and gross
physical) activities and conditions.

The form that every “cult” imitates is the pattern of
egoity (or the pattern that is the ego-“I”) itselfthe
presumed “middle” of every ordinary individual life. It is
the self-contraction (or the avoidance of relationship),
which “creates” the fearful sense of separate mind, and all
the endless habits and motives of egoic desire (or
bewildered, and self-deluded, seeking). It is what is,
ordinarily, called (or presumed to be) the real and
necessary and only “life”.

From birth, the human being (by reaction to the blows and
limits of psycho-physical existence) begins to presume
separate existence to be his or her very natureand, on
that basis, the human individual spends his or her entire
life generating and serving a circle of ownership (or
self-protecting acquisition) all around the ego-“I”. The
egoic motive encloses all the other beings it can acquire,
all the “things” it can acquire, all the states and thoughts
it can acquireall the possible emblems, symbols,
experiences, and sensations it can possibly acquire.
Therefore, when any human being begins to involve himself or
herself in some religious or Spiritual association (or, for
that matter, any extension of his or her own subjectivity),
he or she tends again to “create” that same circle about a
“center”.

TRUE DEVOTION
AND CULTISM
Original
The true devotional relationship to Me is not separative
(or merely “inward”-directed), nor is It a matter of
attachment to Me as a mere (and, necessarily, limited) human
being (or a “man in the middle”)for, if My devotee
indulges in ego-bound (or self-referring and self-serving)
attachment to Me as a mere human “other”, My Divine Nature
(and, therefore, the Divine Nature of Reality Itself) is not
(as the very Basis for religious and Spiritual practice in
My Company) truly devotionally recognized and rightly
devotionally acknowledged. And, if such non-recognition of
Me is the case, there is no truly ego-transcending
devotional response to My Avatarically Self-Revealed (and
Self-Evidently Divine) Presence and Personand, thus,
such presumed-to-be “devotion” to Me is not devotional
heart-Communion with Me, and such presumed-to-be “devotion”
to Me is not Divinely Liberating. Therefore, because the
true devotional (and, thus, truly devotionally
Me-recognizing and truly devotionally to-Me-responding)
relationship to Me is entirely a counter-egoic (and truly
and only Divine) discipline, it does not tend to become a
“cult” (or, otherwise, to support the “cultic” tendency of
Man).

The true devotional practice of Satsang with Me is
(inherently) expansive (or relational)and the
self-contracting (or separate and separative) self-“center”
is neither Its motive nor Its source. In true Satsang with
Me, the egoic “center” is always already undermined as a
“center” (or a presumed separate, and actively separative,
entity). The Principle of true Satsang with Me is
MeBeyond (and not “within”or, otherwise,
supporting) the ego-“I”.

and self-seeking and self-serving ego-“center”. Instead, I
Call My devotee to turn the heart (and the total body-mind)
toward Me (all-and-All-Surrounding, and
all-and-All-Pervading), in relationshipBeyond the
body-mind-self of My devotee (and not merely
“within”or contained and containable “within” the
separate, separative, and self-contracted domain of the
body-mind-self, or the ego-“I”, of My would-be devotee). I
Call My devotee to function freelyMy (Avatarically
Self-Transmitted) Divine Light and My (Avatarically
Self-Revealed) Divine Person always (and under all
circumstances) presumed and experienced (and not merely
sought). Therefore, true Satsang with Me is the Real Company
of Truth, or of Reality Itself (Which Is the Only Real God).

Radiate) into life. I always Contact life in

seekrather than to truly enjoy and to fully animate

tendency to make a self-contracting circle around
Meand, thus, to make a “cult” of ego-“I” (and of the
“man in the middle”), or to duplicate the ego-ritual of mere
fascination, and of inevitable resistance, and of
never-Awakening unconsciousness. Relative to these two
tendencies, I Give all My devotees only one resort. It is

self-deluded ego-manmaking much of himself, and
looking to include everyone-and-everything around himself
for the sake of social and political power. To be the “man
