Dear Meetup Member,

In 2001, Avatar Adi Da wrote an essay “Freedom Is The Only Law, and Happiness Is the Only Reality. In our current social and political climate, this Wisdom is more prevalent than ever.

In this essay, Adi Da writes that...
“The Reality-Way of Adidam is not a political device for “creating” vulgarized (or ego-based) “freedoms”. The Reality-Way of Adidam is not a political enterprise at all. The Reality-Way of Adidam is not a matter of any kind of social struggle. The Reality-Way of Adidam is a subjective matter, not merely a behavioral or social matter. The Reality-Way of Adidam is a matter of True Freedom, in ultimate terms.”

He goes on to write...
If you want to be truly free, you must first understand that you are bound, and you must understand how you are bound, and then you must do something about that. If, on the other hand, you are merely reactively inclined to fulfill desires, and you want to be (so-called) “free” to do so, then you are not examining your bondage—what its roots are, what its signs are, what its characteristics are—and, if you are not examining your bondage with real discriminative intelligence, you are also not doing what you must do in order to be truly free.

Join us to further consider this extraordinary essay. It is a revelation of Truth, Freedom and Happiness in these turbulent times.

This session includes the following:

  • An in-depth consideration of Avatar Adi Da’s essay
  • Several video-clips of Avatar Adi Da’s long-time devotees telling leelas (sacred stories) on Freedom, Happiness and Love
  • A guided meditation
  • Questions and discussion

Upon registering, you will be sent the essay Freedom Is The Only Law, and Happiness Is the Only Reality so you can prepare for the event.

The meeting is interactive, giving everyone the opportunity to share and participate. We look forward to being with you at this event. Feel free to bring a friend.
