Avatar Adi Da has transformed
the English language into a vehicle to serve His Communication
of the Sacred, God-Realizing Process in His Company. In doing
so, He has Revealed the logic underlying the common conventions
of written English.
Ordinary speech and written language are centered on the
ego-“I”, as a tent is raised on a centerpole.
Therefore, in ordinary speech and written language, the ego-word
“I” is commonly capitalized and everything less
than the ego-“I” is shown in lowercase. In contrast,
the “centerpole” of Avatar Adi Da’s Speech
and Writing is the Heart, the Divine, Consciousness, Truth,
Realty, and Happiness. Therefore, He capitalizes those words
that express the Ecstatic Feeling of the Awakened Heart, and,
in many instances, lowercases those words expressive of the
ego or conditional limits in general.
In addition, Avatar Adi Da has developed the conventions
of punctuation (commas, dashes, quotation marks, underlining,
and parentheses) to an extraordinary degree. This allows Him
to clearly articulate complex sentences in such a way that
His intended mean can be expressed with utmost precision.
This capitalization convention, which Avatar Adi Da has worked
out to an extraordinarily subtle degree—in ways that
are often startling) is in itself a Teaching device, intended
to communicate His fundamental Revelation that “There
is Only Real God”, and that only the ego (or the dualistic
or separative point of view) prevents us from living and Realizing
that Truth. |
