The Divine Domain Is Not Elsewhere
In this Talk from a 1994 gathering with His devotees at Adidam Samrajashram (the island of Naitauba, Fiji), Avatar Adi Da gives essential descriptions of the Great esoteric matters of Divine Translation and the Divine Domain. Avatar Adi Da points out, however, that these descriptions cannot be rightly understood from the egoic disposition of separation, and in fact are not comprehensible apart from Realization Itself. Avatar Adi Da clarifies that Divine Translation, or the final “Event” of Divine Enlightenment, is not a matter of escaping the obligations of the body-mind, and the Divine Domain is not a place to “go to”.
Enlightenment is not a “something” or a “happening” or an historical event. Rather, in the process of Divine Enlightenment, the “Brightness” of the Divine Condition, Which is Avatar Adi Da’s Native Self-Condition, Shines through the body-mind of the devotee.

My Kiln Of "Brightness"
In this ecstatic Talk, which also took place at Adidam Samrajashram, Avatar Adi Da considers with His devotees how the Process of Divine Self-Realization occurs in His Company. He begins by describing the important distinction between actually Realizing Real God (or the Divine) and making gestures toward an idea of the Divine. He explains that relating to the Divine as an “other” is based on the false presumption of separateness—whereas, in Reality, That Which is Divine is not separate. Avatar Adi Da uses the analogy of clay pigs in a kiln to describe the Process of “Brightening” that occurs when the devotee turns feeling-attention to Him. Avatar Adi Da and His devotees confess that He Is the “Bright” that Draws beings beyond the realms of experience and into His Condition of Infinite Love-Bliss.
