 James
Steinberg has been a devotee of spiritual teacher Adi Da Samraj for twenty-six
years. During this time, James has become an expert on the topic
of the guru-devotee relationship and is a proponent of this approach to
spiritual awakening. His razor-sharp insights into the spiritual
process serves us greatly as we examine various approaches to liberation.
Below is a short segment of an extensive dialogue we conducted with James, which appears in its entirety in our book "Dialogues With Emerging Spiritual Teachers." Q. Another common statement that's been bantered about is "there is only One Mind." What does this mean? Does this mean that when we are in that pure consciousness or that "brightness" that only "One Mind" exists? A. Everything else falls away. Mind is used in the Buddhist traditions as another metaphor for "reality" or "truth" or "consciousness." It's the way that Western scholars have translated Buddhist teachings. So they'll talk about "the mind," they'll talk about "the transmission of the mind" outside the dharma in the Zen tradition. And what they're trying to refer to there is this consciousness itself, or reality itself or truth itself. For more information on Adi
Da Samraj and his teaching, go to:
