You Can't Get There From Here

Human beings are in a paradoxical quandary in trying to liberate themselves from the suffering of life. We assume the position and point-of the body-minds which are fixed in its point of view in time and place in our search for Liberation. To try to "get there" from the point of view of the body mind (which is based on the assumption of a separate self) is not possible. In this discourse Adi Da Samraj suggest that the Way He Offers is not based on this assumption of separate self, but rather identification with that that is transcendent from the body-mind, the Divine Self-Condition". The devotee asking the question of Adi Da was a former student of Zen Buddhism so in this discourse Adi Da refers to some metaphors that are part of the Zen Buddhism Tradition.
