More quotes by Adyashanti
Question your thoughts. Question your stories. Question your assumptions. Question your opinions. Question your conclusions. Question them all into utter emptiness, stillness and joy. The keys to freedom are in your hands. Use them.
Adyashanti
It is not the pursuit of greater and greater states of happiness and bliss that leads to enlightenment, but the yearning for Reality and the rabid dissatisfaction with living anything less than a fully authentic life.
Adyashanti
Awareness isn’t something we own awareness isn’t something we possess. Awareness is actually what we are.
Adyashanti
You can't lose what you serve. That's the secret. What you serve, you can't lose. What you don't serve and what you try to hold onto, you can't hold onto. It's always slipping out of your fingers.

Adyashanti
There's a fierceness about life that calls for a fierceness to not anxiously solve it but to allow it to transform you.
Adyashanti

Adyashanti
The light of consciousness has no mind to change or alter anything. There is no sense that anything needs to change, but it does change.
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
The most intimate question we can ask, and the one that has the most spiritual power, is this: What or who am I?
Adyashanti
The process of finding the truth may not be a process by which we feel increasingly better and better. It may be a process by which we look at things honestly, sincerely, truthfully, and that may or may not be an easy thing to do.
Adyashanti
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.
Adyashanti
You are an incredible mystery that you will never figure out. To be this mystery consciously is the greatest joy.
