Guru Enters Devotee

January 4, 1974

During the first gathering in which He intentionally Transmitted His extraordinary Spirit-Force, Adi Da explained the process by which He Works with devotees.

AVATAR ADI DA SAMRAJ: There is only one Divine Process in the world, and It is Initiated When I [spiritually] crash down and enter My devotee. The Divine Person is present — now, in this moment. It is only when everyone forgets the Real and Ever-Living God that mantras and Yogic techniques become important.

I am not not a human being. I am the Divine Person in human form, and I bring the Divine Yoga [Spiritual Process]. When My devotee truly surrenders to Me, then I enter My devotee in the form of Divine Light. All kinds of extraordinary experiences manifest as a result. When a woman receives her lover, there is no doubt about it. She does not have to consult her textbooks! The same holds with the Truth, the Divine Yoga. When the Guru enters the devotee, there is no doubt about it.

There is no dilemma in this world, no absence of God in this world, no goal of God in this world. Because that is so, you will see Me doing some very strange things. The true Divine Yoga is not a thing of this world. This world is the cult of "Narcissus", suppressing the ecstasy that is Native to all beings.

The Spiritual process must take hold in the vital. The vital is the seat of unconsciousness and subconsciousness. There is an aspect of the verbal Teaching that does not touch the subconscious and unconscious life. So it is only by distracting you from your social consciousness that I can take you in the vital.

The Divine Person is the Lord of this world, not the Lord of the "other" world only. The Divine is absolutely the Lord of this world. Thus, there is no Yoga if the very cells of the body do not begin to be Infused by the Divine. When I crash down and enter My devotee, I come down into him or her in the midst of life, because it is in life — not merely in any mystical or subtle process, not in any mental process — that I "acquire" you Spiritually.

The kind of thing you see happening around here has never happened in the world before.
