Excerpts from Adi Da’s Book, “THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF THE WHOLE BODY”

“Our present condition of existence is only a partial and

temporary view of the Real and Divine Condition. It must be

made a Sacrifice, through devotional love, service, and meditation,

directed into Communion with the Divine Person, or

Real God. Only in Ecstasy, or self-forgetting in God-

Remembrance, are we Happy and Full of the Bliss of Eternal

Life. We must give up all possession of our lives, and feelings,

and our mind, and all experience, and enter into Transcendental

Communion with the Living God, in whose Body we

arise and pass away in terrible cycles of self-indulgence, until

we Realize the Identity and Total Body of which our separated

existence is a part.”

“The most ancient human act or symbol of God-

Communion is the offering of food to the Living God and to

the Spiritual Master, the True Man. It is the sign of primal

human understanding—that we are to be a sacrifice to the

Radiant Reality that is the Transcendental Condition of the

World. Our own Force of Life must be granted to God and

to the True Man. We must feed the Truth with our own feeling

sacrifice, the offering of the body-mind. Then the True

Man and the very Divine may, in turn, function as a Process

of Conversion, Transformation, Transfiguration, and Translation

in our own case. In this manner the True Man and the

Living God Incarnate as those who participate in God-

Communion through sacrifice.”

“The Living Spiritual Master is the Agent of the Divine

Person. He is born to Establish, Communicate, and Demonstrate

the Way of God-Realization, or Absorption in the Living

God, Purification from all psycho-physical possibilities,

and Liberation into the Divine Domain.”

“The childish individual wants someone to save him.

The adolescent individual wants to fulfill himself, absolutely

and independently.

The true man simply serves Good Company and surrenders

to Truth, the Living God.”
