The Mood of Reality
Adi Da Samraj, 1971
My anger is a righteous one in the face of all who approach me. I am surrounded by the aura of real form, and those who come or experience my communication have felt the quality of this aura before they arrive. Therefore, I am approached only by those who are either strong or else petulant fools.
I know the quality of every one who comes to me. I see the nature and results of avoidance in them. I am sensitive to the points of contraction in them. I know that these results do not come from any event outside of them but are held in place now and originally by an action of their own. Thus, I treat them in a way that will turn them to this perception of their own action.
The manner of my dealing with people is determined by an intelligence that is in reality itself. The mood in which I deal with them from time to time is determined by their strength. I deal with them boldly, even angrily where they are capable of driving directly to their own force. I deal with them indulgently where only indulgence will permit the opening to their own selves. But all moods are mere devices, strategies. It is all the same love, the same enjoyment that is continuous in reality through all its forms. Therefore, behind all my moods is a radical intensity and demand that is a certain, uncompromised force and intention. I neither indulge nor bend a man for the sake of such exercises themselves. The mood of reality is neither indulgent nor fierce, but a blissful power, a brilliant, absolute fire that is as empty as an ear, containing the force of everything without a sound.
