Quote

What if you let go of every bit of control and every urge that you have, right down to the most infinitesimal urge to control anything, anywhere, including anything that may be happening with you at this moment? If you were able to give up control absolutely, totally, and completely, then you would be a spiritually free being.

Nothingness is an absolute infinite potential, not an empty box.
Adyashanti

To find out that you are empty of emptiness is to die into an aware mystery, which is the source of all existence.
Adyashanti
Image
Do not seek after what you yearn for, seek the source of the yearning itself.

The most intimate question we can ask, and the one that has the most spiritual power, is this: What or who am I?
Adyashanti

In True Meditation, we're in the body as a means to transcend it. It is paradoxical that the greatest doorway to the transcendence of form is through form itself.

This moment in which you experience stillness is every moment. Don't let the mind seduce you into the past or future. Stay in the moment, and dare to consider that you can be free now.

Image
Nobody can give us what we really already are. Wouldn't it be terrible if somebody could give you what you really are? ...'cause if they could give it to you, they could take it away.

There's something more to life than what we see on the surface.
Adyashanti
Image
Whatever you want, be it. If you want connection, it's because you are connection. Be what you want, and then it happens all around you. If you want love, be it. You'll have more love than you know what to do with. Whatever you are inside, you receive a thousandfold on the outside.

You must choose between your attachments and happiness.
Adyashanti
Image
Go ahead, climb up onto the velvet top of the highest stakes table. Place yourself as the bet. Look God in the eyes and finally, for once in your life, lose.
Adyashanti
Image
Whatever you resist, persists.

Image
If we look at the world around us, we see that we are conditioned to not listen deeply. Because isn't that what silence is? It's a listening, a deep wordless listening.
Adyashanti
Image
There's a great space in which this moment takes place. There's a great silence that is listening to the thoughts.
Adyashanti
Image
The body is a sensing instrument of consciousness. Without the body and mind, the trees could not see themselves. Usually we think that we are looking at a tree, but the tree is looking at itself through us. Without this instrument, the tree does not get to see itself. We are sensing instruments of the Divine.
