More quotes by Adyashanti
At first it seems as if begoing follows becoming. But look even closer and you will see that there are only flashes of lightning illuminating the empty sky.
Adyashanti
If you want to know something, go elsewhere. If you want to un-know everything, then sit and listen.
Adyashanti
Refuse to disconnect from love and every relationship will be totally transformed even the relationship with yourself.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment means waking up to what you truly are and then being that.
Adyashanti
All we really want in the end is to be connected once again with the Truth of our being, to realize what it is that wears this mask of self.
Adyashanti
Truth has no finality to it. It is not something to be held on to. Truth is discovered minute to minute or not at all.
Adyashanti
We realize--often quite suddenly--that our sense of self, which has been formed and constructed out of our ideas, beliefs and images, is not really who we are. It doesn't define us, it has no center.
Adyashanti
The truth is you can't try to let go. Trying is the opposite of letting go. To let go is to relinquish trying. To let go is much more like to let be.
Adyashanti
This awake silence is available to anyone in this moment. All you have to do is stop using your mind to look for it. It doesn't know where to find it.
Adyashanti
The goal of Buddhism is to create Buddhas, not Buddhists, as the goal of Christianity is to create Christs, not Christians.
Adyashanti
Nothingness is an absolute infinite potential, not an empty box.
Adyashanti
The main requirement for spiritual growth: A yearning to know who you really are.
Adyashanti
When we really start to take a look at who we think we are... we start to see that while we may have various thoughts, beliefs, and identities, they do not individually or collectively tell us who we are. [And yet] it is astounding how completely we humans define ourselves by the content of our minds, feelings, and history.
Adyashanti
Do not seek after what you yearn for, seek the source of the yearning itself.
Adyashanti
It is one thing to touch a flame and know it is hot, but quite another to jump into that flame and be consumed by it.
Adyashanti
Thoughts are just moving through consciousness. They have no power. Nothing has reality until you reach it, grab it, and somehow impregnate it with the power of belief.
Adyashanti
How do I integrate spirituality into my everyday life? Throw out the concept of spiritual life and everyday life. There is only life, undivided and whole.
Adyashanti
When the eternal and the human meet, that's where love is born -- not through escaping our humanity or trying to disappear into transcendence, but through finding that place where they come into union.
Adyashanti
Often life is a frantic avoidance of the truth.
Adyashanti
Have you noticed, with whatever quality of love you have experienced, that when true love arises, it opens up both your mind and emotions? It's an openness to whatever is happening.
