As a whole, Avatar Adi Da's Basket Of Tolerance bibliography is arranged as a sequence from first title to last, presenting, title by title, the "Grand Argument" of the Great Tradition. Avatar Adi Da Samraj describes this at the beginning of The Basket Of Tolerance:
The order and the groupings in which I have presented the various documents listed in The Basket Of Tolerance is very specific and intentional. By this order and these groupings, I have generated (and allowed the Great Tradition to demonstrate . . . from beginning to end, entry by entry), a continuous and progressive "Grand Argument". This "Grand Argument", followed with sensitivity, discrimination, and intelligent understanding, guided by the framework and the interpretive tools I have provided for this purpose . . . should grant any one a basic education in the total Great Tradition and in all the traditional fundamentals that must be "considered" even by modern practitioners of the Wisdom Way.
Studying the Great Tradition, following this "Grand Argument", helps us appreciate both the particular point of view of each separate tradition, and also that the entire Great Tradition is completed and fulfilled by the great event of the Avataric Incarnation of Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj and the Way of Adidam--which has made the understanding of the Great Tradition as a whole possible.
Because we are presenting only an initial selection of titles from The Basket Of Tolerance, this catalog can only excerpt from the full presentation of this "Grand Argument". However, in reviewing even this first offering of materials you will notice the extraordinary breadth and range of Adi Da Samraj’s "consideration". The books and videos presented here are not offered because they are necessarily the "best", or because Adi Da Samraj endorses or supports their point of view. Rather, they are offered so that everyone may become familiar with all possible perspectives and orientations within the Great Tradition, and so that--by engaging right and serious study--everyone may move beyond provincialism and limited viewpoints through the development of greater and greater discriminative understanding. To this end, The Basket Of Tolerance also includes many useful wisdom "tools" created by Avatar Adi Da Samraj, such as the "seven stages of life", that help us understand the relationships between the traditions of mankind.
