A collection of Discourses given by Avatar Adi Da Samraj during the years 1973 to 1995. Spoken with great Humor and Compassion, these Discourses offer an overview of Avatar Adi Da's foundational Teaching-Instruction and also convey His unprecedented Divine Self-Revelation. Topics include: the enlivening nature of the sacred relationship to the Spiritual Master, or Guru; the transformative Grace of Sighting the bodily form of the Spiritual Master; the "radical" understanding about ego that is essential to true Spiritual life; the universal and unique Blessing-Transmission of Avatar Adi Da Samraj. This book is a treasure house of profound Wisdom and Divine Revelation, given for the sake of the Perfect Awakening of all beings.
The impulse of the heart is to be always in Divine Communion, to Realize Samadhi, to live in Divine Communion. That is how the egoic design is purified. That is what devotion is. Devotion is to be Drawn to that Primal Attractiveness-such that all other persuasions, tendencies, forms of egoity, are not distracting, and can (therefore) be purified, fallen away.-Avatar Adi Da Samraj
My "Bright" Sight brings together many of Avatar Adi Da's most summary Discourses given throughout the years of His "Teaching-Work". Some of the Talks included in My "Bright" Sight are:
- The Divine Does The Yoga
- Faith and Patience
- The Grace of Suffering
- Identification of the Beloved
- The Fire Must Have Its Way
- Come To Me When You Are Already Happy
- The Dreaded Gom-Boo
- Little-Ji or Me
- My Kiln of "Brightness"
My "Bright" Sight is unique in that it contains Discourses from a major span of Avatar Adi Da's years of Teaching, from 1973 through 1995. Additionally, the introduction to My "Bright" Sight includes devotees' testimony about sacred occasions of Sighting Avatar Adi Da in person. And a compilation of stunning, full-color photographs of Avatar Adi Da-one from each of the sixteen years in which the Discourses in My "Bright" Sight were given-offers a unique opportunity to contemplatively Sight Avatar Adi Da's Bodily Form, as means to participate in the Gift Communicated in this book.
My "Bright" Sight is the second volume in The Divine Siddha-Method of The Ruchira Avatar. (My "Bright" Word is the first, My "Bright" Form is the third, and My "Bright" Room-not yet published-is the fourth.) The Title of this four-book series points to the overall "topic" of this Text:
The "Method" of Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj is the Transmission of His "Bright" State of Being. Such Transmission, He Reveals, is the means by which it is possible to Realize the Absolute Truth of Reality-the True Nature of God, or Divine Enlightenment. And such Transmission is the characteristic "Method" of even all those rare beings (traditionally called "Siddhas", or "Perfected Ones" ) who are capable of Transmitting their State of Realization to others.
By simply Being the "Bright"-both during and after His human Lifetime-Avatar Adi Da Gives (or Transmits) Realization as a Gift. Such is the Divine Siddha-Method of the Ruchira Avatar Adi Da. And that Divine Gift is Granted to those who persist in the process He Offers to His devotees-the process of ever-magnifying heart-Attraction to Him and of ever-increasing renunciation of ego-bondage.
My "Bright" Sight is an invitation to enter into this process, one both utterly inspirational and deeply challenging. It is an invitation to become immersed in the Radiant Company of the "Bright" Avatar, Adi Da Samraj, as He speaks His "radical" Teaching to devotees and to all.

"That God can, among other things, actually incarnate in human form once seemed unbelievable to me. But seeing Avatar Adi Da Samraj and reading His books obliterated all d
