Synopsis

In the decades and countless hours of Adi Da's teaching work, he submitted himself to people just as they are. Through that great process, he learned, noticed, dealt with and understood everyone and everything. During these years he also wrote many books in which he revealed his complete Divine Instruction.
In this collection of essays from Adi Da Samraj describes his perfect retirement into Divine Indifference, free of any necessity to teach. That retirement signifies not an 'end' to his Divine work, but rather his freedom to be entirely concentrated in his most profound work of forever blessing all beings and things.

He writes:

I have Revealed and Given a Way that every human being can practice.
I Made My Divine Avataric Self-Submission and (on That Basis) Did My Divine Avataric Teaching-Work and My Divine Avataric Revelation-Work and now I am Finished with All of That. . . .
In My Finally Retired Divine Indifference, ... I Am (Inherently) Free Merely (and Only) to Be As I Am in My Divine and Avatarically Responsive Transcendental Spiritual Regard of all-and-All.

About this title

About the Author

From his birth (on Long Island, New York, in 1939), Adi Da Samraj has always manifested unique signs of spiritual illumination and of artistic and literary inspiration. Nevertheless, from his birth, and until his spiritual restoration at thirty years of age, Adi Da Samraj submitted himself to an ordeal of 'self-identification' with all the limitations and sufferings of the human condition.
Adi Da Samraj describes his early years as being focused in two fundamental activities: investigating how (in the scale of human 'ordinariness') to perfectly realize the Truth of 'Reality Itself', and achieving the ability to communicate the Truth of 'Reality Itself' through artistic means (both visual and literary).
Adi Da Samraj graduated from Columbia University in 1961, with a BA in philosophy, and from Stanford University in 1966, with an MA in English literature. In 1964, Adi Da Samraj began a period of intensive practice under a succession of spiritual masters in the United States and India. Eventually, in 1970, after a final period of intense spiritual endeavor, Adi Da Samraj spontaneously became re-established in the continuous state of illumination that was his unique condition at birth--and that re-awakening signaled the end of his thirty years of spiritual quest.
In 1972, Adi Da Samraj began to teach, creating a vast repository of wisdom, in living dialogue with those who approached him. To date, his literary, philosophical, and practical writings consist of over sixty published books. The Knee of Listening and Easy Death and The World as Light are some of the most popular books. Many of his discourses are also available on DVD and CD from The Dawn Horse Press.
Since 1998, Adi Da Samraj has created a massive body of artwork using the media of photography, videography, and digital technology. He states that his intention as an artist is to offer a visual communication of the Truth of 'Reality Itself'--by allowing Reality to manifest Itself in and as the 'space' of his image-art.
Adi Da Samraj's collateral exhibition at the 52nd Biennale di Venezia (2007), 'Transcendental Realism', which was a great success, marks the first time his work was shown to the public at large.

Review

There exists nowhere in the world today, among Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, native tribalists, or any other groups, anyone who has so much to teach, or speaks with such authority, or is so important for understanding our situation.
If we are willing to learn from him in every way, he is a Pole around which the world can get its bearings. --Henry Leroy Finch, author, Wittgenstein The Early Philosophy
