More quotes by Adyashanti
Silence is the only teaching and the only teacher that is there all the time.
Adyashanti
The Truth is the only thing you’ll ever run into that has no agenda.
Adyashanti
Meditation is a dress rehearsal for death.
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
Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It's seeing through the facade of pretence. It's the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.
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
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.
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
Stop all delays, all seeking and all striving. Put down your concepts, ideas and beliefs. For one instant be still and directly encounter the silent unknown core of your being. In that instant Freedom will embrace you and reveal the Awakening that you are.
Adyashanti
The proof of the depth and embodiment of your realization will be seen in your love relationship. That's where the proof is in the pudding. If it all collapses in your relationship, you have some work to do. And people do have a lot of difficulties in their relationships.
Adyashanti
Grace is something that comes to us when we somehow find ourselves completely available, when we become openhearted and open-minded, and are willing to entertain the possibility that we may not know what we think we know.
Adyashanti
You are not your story. They are not your story about them. The world is not your story about the world.
Adyashanti
You will only lose when you resist reality you will only struggle when you disagree with what is.
Adyashanti
We must become expressions of, not consumers of, realization.
Adyashanti
The door to God is the insecurity of not knowing anything. Bear the grace of that uncertainty and all wisdom will be yours.
Adyashanti
A meditative mind is at ease because it's not trying to acquire anything.
Adyashanti
Nothingness is an absolute infinite potential, not an empty box.
Adyashanti
One Zen master said, The whole universe is my true personality. This is a very wonderful saying... If you want to see what you truly are, open the window, and everything you see is in fact the expression of your inner reality. Can you embrace all of it?
Adyashanti
Our own intuition of what we're called to is reality speaking to us individually and perfectly. We have to listen to how the Infinite talks to us and leads us. Reality, Life the Infinite, God, has a way of leading us in just the perfect way, if we will only just listen to it.
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.
