In these two early Discourses, Avatar Adi Da clarifies the Function of the True Guru, which is not to satisfy or relieve the seeker, but to frustrate all forms of the search for self-fulfillment—whether through money, food, sex, or even Spiritual practice. When this ego-frustrating process is engaged as relationship to the Guru, then Present Realization of the Divine can be Awakened—and only then can the real Spiritual process begin.

The Spiritual process, the life-process, is utterly dependent on the Divine Itself. And no exploitation of life or Spirituality Itself Realizes the Divine, but is, in fact, motivated by a prior sense of separation, dilemma, absence of Divinity. And, so, only the crisis in which that whole possibility of seeking and being fulfilled and ultimately finding God—only the crisis which undermines that whole affair—truly serves even the Spiritual process.
