Adyashanti
Feel this moment, see it with a willingness to experience it deeply, whether it be good, bad, or indifferent. Emotionally and feelingly be fully present, right here, vulnerable, with your heart. Just be present. Don't live from your conditioned mind, live from unconditional truth.
Adyashanti

You must choose between your attachments and happiness.
Adyashanti
Only when the pursuit ceases, is it possible to recognize what comprises you: pure being.
Adyashanti
The most challenging thing for the spiritual seeker to do is to stop struggling.
Adyashanti
You are not your story. They are not your story about them. The world is not your story about the world.
