Sri Adi Dadi’s genius is genuine.
Foreword
The hidden, often humorous original face of the genie within him twinkles like a star in the smiling skies of his very blue eyes.
His physicality is quite ordinary, his way is rather unassuming, his presence, quietly disquieting.
He is known to be a living Wisdom Teacher of rare caliber, always full of Divine sparklings, and is said to be giving out the very ancient Truth, in an East-meets-West modern tonality and with an authentic, resonance of the Real. He claims however, to still be working diligently on the ongoing practice of always-already being Compassionate at all times, and in all circumstances.
Sri Adi Dadi wrote the whole of his 3,000 entries of “PARADISAL PLUMS” within a brief period spanning about 4½ months... that is to say, between mid-December ‘91 to the end of April ‘92... whilst keeping an extremely active schedule of speaking engagements and weekend seminars.
Ideas would flow down at times so rapidly and spontaneously, that within a brief 2-3 hour period, some 68 ‘Plums’ of all shapes and sizes would plummet down into the receptive basket of his creative Consciousness... and all too soon, sometimes within a week, a whole ‘Bushel’ would be filled.
The reader’s regular perusal, and intelligent contemplation of the spiritual ‘Plums’ that are strewn about in the book, in an always spontaneous, but orderly fashion, promises to help the spiritualizing process in all serious students of esoteric lore, as well as all seekers of God, to become ever more firmly rooted (mind & heart) in the Divine. From a level-headed, high level of Consciousness, Sri Adi Dadi once wrote:
“The Glory of the Cross is my decreed death; the Folly of the Cross is my (already) forgotten life.”
This Divinely Enigmatic man, called Master by some, and known at times as D.D.D., seems to have a spiritually sobering and charismatic effect upon all who are fortunate enough to cross his Path.
May the reader presently enjoy these first two modest volumes of Sri Adi Dadi, the Rebel Pandit’s, “PARADISAL PLUMS”.

479 Guru’s Task of “Mirroring”
Part of the Guru’s task is the clear “reflecting back” of the sadhaka’s patterns of mind.
[This entails the wise and timely mirroring of the student’s negativities, weaknesses, attachments, passions, and desires... this being usually not a pleasant proposition, nor a comfortable engagement, but a Spiritually necessary one... in the Guru-disciple relationship.]
480 In Giving and Selflessly Serving
In the act of altruistically “giving” to man, or of selflessly “serving” his Sangha, the sadhaka must be careful not to give away, or to pass along, ego-energetically, or ego-spiritually, any subtle form of “personal attachment”, as related to the aforesaid philanthropic, or kindly activity… including, of course, any form of “personal anticipation” in regards to the results, possibly derived therefrom.

552 In Suffering and Sickness
In your suffering, the Father brings you to His lap of Compassion; in your sickness, the (Divine) Mother holds you ever closer to Her breast of Love.
553 Sorrow(s)
Sorrow always reaches the Ear of God; the deeper sorrow(s) touch to His very Heart.
[A self-sorrow perches upon God’s Bosom; a selfless sorrow penetrates to His Only Heart.]
554 Solace
The Masters and the Angels have a strong common interest — that of bringing Solace, (both spiritual and physical), to the sorrowful, the suffering, and the sick.

Levels of Healing
There are many levels of Healing: the lesser of which dissolves
physical disease; the greater of which effaces karma; (and) the greatest of which‌ wipes out ignorance.

556 T he Healer, the Doctor, and the Tabernacle
God is the Healer; the doctor is the hand ; the patient is the tabernacle.
557 T he Lord Hastily Hastens
Irrespective of distance, the Lord hastily hastens to your home when called upon to Heal your body-mind with His Heart.
558 Depth of the Devotee’s Faith
The depth of the Devotee’s faith in that which Is Higher, determines the Wholeness of the Holy Healing which is harnessed. 101

708 Simply Not So
Easy Understanding and easy Spirituality are simply not so... easy .
709 He W ho Speaks Most
He who speaks most is most often the sadhaka who has the most information
but who mostly Knows less than most.

Very vocal is usually very vacant, very vain.
