from "The To-Me-Surrendered Head Is an Open Cup of Touch,
Rather Than a Knotted Ball of Thought",
in Hridaya Rosary (Four Thorns Of Heart-lnstruction)
 

In this passage, Avatar Adi Da Samraj poetically describes the fundamental question, or dilemma, that moves human beings to embrace Spiritual practice:
 

The heart has a question.
The heart must be Satisfied.
Without that Satisfaction—Which is necessarily Spiritual in Nature—there is no Real Happiness.

The contraction of the heart is what you are suffering.
It is the ego.
The egoic life is a search—founded upon (and initiated by) the self-contraction of the total body-mind.
The egoic life is a self-caused search to be relieved of the distress of self-reduced, self-diminished, even utterly self-destroyed Love-Bliss.
Love-Bliss gone, non-existent, unknown—just this pumping, agitated, psycho-physical thing.

The ego-"I" does not know What It Is That Is Happening.
You are just "hanging out" for a while, until "it" drops dead.
It is not good enough.
Therefore, I Advise you to begin to be profoundly religious, and not waste any time about it.

There are other planes, other dimensions.
But to enter into them, you have to be in their form—you have to break "above ground", you have to climb the Tree that is Above the root ball of your brain, and you have to Find the Heart-Deep from Which even the Beyond (That Is Above) Springs Up.
You must Realize the Spiritual Condition of Existence Itself—Prior to the Cosmic domain.

You cannot be sane if you think there is only flesh, only materiality, only grossness.
Such thinking is not fully "natural", not enough.
There is "Something" you are not accounting for.
Be open to "Whatever" That Is.
It is not enough to merely go on presuming the materialist disposition.
You must look into this.
