Refusal to Exercise Understanding in All Relationships

See below, from "From Water and Narcissus".


This was stated, tested and proven until and beyond Adi Da's passing. 


Franklin Jones (Adi Da):


"Seeking is striving to recover what you have refused

to understand. It is painful and a self-creating

dilemma because it reinforces the idea that you do not

and cannot know.


It is not a matter of finding an answer, a truth, a belief

or a stable victory but the removal of the contradictions

which produce the search.


Life is basically relationship.


The freedom of life in relationship depends upon the

liberation of the one who is in relationship, through the

removal of the contradictions that prevent full relatedness.

The attention of free life is not toward the Self or self or

God or any particular spiritual entity, for such is only a

manifestation of strife. The attention of liberated life is

toward all relationship. It is already perfectly related.

The key mood of unliberated life is the sense of

separation. One is not liberated by any seeking for

union with self or other or any thing. One is liberated

by the removal of the self-created contradictions that

prevent relationship."
