The Fire Gospel
Updated: Sep 14
Adi Da: I am not the usual man. I have been reached down into this fleshy occasion of the Sublime God, Whose Infinite and Eternal Intention is to Liberate beings and unify them with the Absolute Identity in Which we all inhere. This is the significance, the import, and the force of my birth. I wrote in The Hymn of the Master: “The human voices all call out to God: Heart of hearts, Reveal to us the Truth, the Bright Power that Liberates the ego-‘I’ from itself.” The Revelation of Truth is the import of my birth.
I am a manifestation of that Force, that Impulse, that Overriding Life and Consciousness, that Wonderful Vision, but I appear in a time and place with not the slightest consciousness of this unity, this God-Consciousness. Thus, I have had to submit myself to evil, to egoity, to Nar
cissus in his or her obnoxious human form, and my particular theatre of Teaching has grown out of that submission. Yet I do not proclaim a message of separation, self- involvement, dissociation, unlove, unhappiness, non-humanity. I proclaim to you the disposition of God-Inherence, of Wonderfulness, of Love, Bliss, Happiness, Consciousness as It is. God-Realization is the only significance of my birth, the only import of my life. I do not have your destiny. I am not involved in the destiny of the usual life. Therefore, I demonstrate powers over evil and magnify the disposition of God-Love in the presence of devotees, so that they will be free of their sub-humanity, their un-humanity, and their un-Happiness, so that a human occasion will be created for God-Love, for Happiness, for Love-Bliss, for Consciousness as It is, for the Being that transcends all our thinking, all our knowing, all our unknowing, all our experience, and all our non-experience. This is the entire purpose of my birth.
