Wisdom without love is like having lungs but no air to breathe. Do not seek wisdom in order to acquire knowledge but in order to live and love more fully.

More quotes by Adyashanti
A meditative mind is at ease because it's not trying to acquire anything.
Adyashanti
When you let go of the egoic self what you're getting in exchange is the whole universe.
Adyashanti
True intelligence does not derive from thought. True intelligence uses thought.
Adyashanti
At any moment, we are either giving humanity the gift of our clarity or our confusion. And that clarity or confusion is affecting the humanity around us, the world around us. It is manifesting. It is taking form.
Adyashanti
You are not your story. They are not your story about them. The world is not your story about the world.
Adyashanti
Imagine trusting silence more than any thought you can come up with.
Adyashanti
Meditation is not something restricted to times of formal seated meditation it is most fundamentally an attitude of being-a resting in and as being. Once you get the feel of it, you will be able to tune into it more and more often during your daily life. Eventually, in the state of liberation, meditation will simply become your natural condition.
Adyashanti
Ego is the movement of the mind toward objects of perception in the form of grasping, and away from objects in the form of aversion. This fundamentally is all the ego is. This movement of grasping and aversion gives rise to a sense of a separate 'me,' and in turn the sense of 'me' strengthens itself this way.
Adyashanti
Awakening to the truth is a deep realization of what you are as an experience. What is it that is listening? What is it that is feeling? Feel it. Sense it. Welcome it.
Adyashanti
No matter what identity we cling to, it takes great courage to step out of the old masks we wear and the old scripts that we live by, and open ourselves to the mysterious inner core of our being.
Adyashanti
In silence a question has great power, because in silence a question will always lead you deeper into your experience. If there is no grounding in silence, a spiritual question is going to lead you into your mind.
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
True meditation is letting go of manipulating our experience.
Adyashanti
We must leave the entire collection of conditioned thought behind and let ourselves be led by the inner thread of silence into the unknown, beyond where all paths end, to that place where we go innocently or not at all, not once but continually.
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
The silence inside of you is the sound of your knowledge collapsing. Remember, it is you who said, 'I want to be free.'
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
Life itself is nothing but relationship.
Adyashanti
Stop all doing and be still. Let the fire of stillness burn everything and reveal That which is Openness.
Adyashanti
You will only lose when you resist reality you will only struggle when you disagree with what is.
