The Fundamental Purpose of Existence

In these delightful and humorous conversations, Avatar Adi Da answers questions from individuals about the discipline of love; the true nature of God, or the Divine, and real Spiritual practice; the forms of resistance that arise when ego-transcending practice is embraced; and the commitment and intelligence required to live a life that is intended toward genuine Spiritual practice.

 As Avatar Adi Da responds to the various individuals in the room with Him that day, He draws everyone into a profound examination of the fundamental purpose of existence. Avatar Adi Da points out that human beings are chronically suffering from the limitation of their experience and are not tending to take into account the totality within which they appear.

To grow beyond limitations and enter into the stream of real growth, He explains, a most profound and creative process of ego-transcending practice must be entered into—a process made possible by the Grace and Help of the Realized Spiritual Master.

This video is drawn from a unique period in Avatar Adi Da’s Teaching-Work. In March 1988, Avatar Adi Da left Adi Da Samrajashram—His principal Hermitage in Fiji—and traveled to New Zealand, where He met with practitioners of the Reality-Way of Adidam and with people interested in taking up the Reality-Way He has given to all.

This DVD contains excerpts of one such occasion that occurred on April 1, 1988.
