[For anyone curious, sharing this vow - which likely has been updated - I believe is under fair use. I share this vow for the purpose of commentary, criticism, religious scholarship, spiritual teaching, and expanding upon my life experience of activities I did. The goal is to educate others about what an eternal vow may look like, while continuing my on-going work to educate people to guru/cult behavior. While, noting my opening thoughts, sharing this not necessarily a condemnation of Adidam followers and/or Adi Da Samraj. Actually, with the extensive process to bring in members they are weeding out those who are not really interested.]
