The following is an excerpt and edit
from a talk by Adi Da Samraj in 1982.
“Humanity is not responding to
Reality, Truth and God, and therefore humanity is living as
it is and suffering a great deal of difficulty. But the
solution is not that some parental God force or God State
must arise and straighten everything out. That is not going
to happen. The response to the Reality, Truth and God must
occur at the level of every fraction of the cosmos, at the
level of every individual: The coming of a force from
without to change everyone is not going to happen. Neither
can you wait until everybody responds and conditions change
before it is the right time for you to respond. The Divine
Influence is here, now, obliging you to
respond.
Either you will or you won’t. If
you will, you will enter into the The True Process, but even
so the circumstances of life will not necessarily change.
They are there to be observed, but what can we see about
them? They appear to be negative because of an activity to
which beings and all the levels of functional existence are
devoted not the response to submission and inherence in the
The Law, but rather the reaction of self possession and
dissociation, cause and effect games in and of themselves in
their own domain.
Only this response makes a
difference, nothing else. Nothing from outside can make a
difference, no order can be brought from without to make any
ultimate difference. Therefore we can appeal only to this
response in ourselves. We can resort only to our capacity to
make this response. And then we must live in this manly
fashion, male or female, the life of that response in the
face of all apparent difficulties. Then it is obvious that
those difficulties exist not because you are or are not
responding, but because everything else is not responding.
Even if you do respond it is obvious that difficulties
will continue as long as the responses of others are
absent. You can, through the force of your responding, your
life in God, generate the attractive Influence of the Truth,
Reality and God and thereby somehow help to bring about
these responses. You can do positive work in the world, but
you cannot expect thereby to generate changes. In any case,
change does not justify your own response. Only the Real, to
That Which you respond, justifies your response, whether or
not anything changes at all in your intimate life or in the
world”.
