The Third Fundamental: Disciplining Attention and Energy
When Adi Da Samraj was born in New York in 1939, He was completely aware of His Divine Condition. He existed only in and as this Self-Radiant State of Love-Bliss-Consciousness, which He named the "Bright". Around the age of two years, in a spontaneous gesture of love toward those around Him, Adi Da relinquished the Enjoyment of the "Bright" and identified with the separate and separative state of ordinary self-contracted beings. This identification initiated a remarkable, unwavering investigation into the Nature of Reality for the sake of Re-Awakening to the "Bright" and discovering how to draw all beings to The Awakened Condition of Love-Bliss. This process fulfilled itself on September 10, 1970, when Adi Da Re-Awakened as the "Bright". In His Spiritual autobiography, "The Knee Of Listening", Adi Da recounts this heroic ordeal of His "Sadhana Years".Following His Divine Re-Awakening, Adi Da Samraj embarked on a unique teaching demonstration in which He considered every aspect of ordinary and Spiritual life with His devotees. From this consideration—and from His Perfect Realization of the "Bright"—emerged an unprecedented Wisdom-Teaching. Adi Da has written well over 60 books and given thousands of discourses to His devotees on every subject, from the practical to the esoteric, that relates to human growth and Spiritual Realization. Many of these discourses are also available on tape, CD, and video. Adi Da's unique Wisdom-Teaching frees the heart from its bondage and brings it into contact with the Truth of our condition—He has inspired thousands of people and helped them to truly understand what "God" is, what the true purpose of religion is, and to directly experience the Divine Condition that is the Condition of everyone and everything. Adi Da offers not only this profound Teaching, but the ultimate means to transcen! d all experiencing and seeking—a direct relationship to the Divine in human form.
