More quotes by Adyashanti
When we really start to take a look at who we think we are, we become very grace prone.
Adyashanti
Life sustains itself. Let go of the ego and life takes care of itself through you.
Adyashanti
All we really want in the end is to be connected once again with the Truth of our being, to realize what it is that wears this mask of self.
Adyashanti
Spirituality does not require that you work hard toward achieving a result in the future as much as it requires you to be fully present, sincere and committed now, with absolute honesty and willingness to uncover and let go of any illusions that come between you and the realization of Reality.
Adyashanti
My speaking is meant to shake you awake, not to tell you how to dream better.
Adyashanti
Meditation is a teaching which offers you the possibility of breaking free of this egoic state of consciousness and coming into a whole new realization of who and what you truly are. And all this starts with the willingness to question. To pause for just a moment and realize that maybe you aren't who you imagine yourself to be.
Adyashanti
Whatever you can become will ultimately be destroyed. Only what you already are can't be taken away.
Adyashanti
The Way of Liberation is not a belief system it is something to be put into practice.
Adyashanti
There is profound responsibility in being Love... more than the mind could imagine or hold up under. If most human beings truly realized the impact that they have on the whole, they'd be crushed by the realization of it.
Adyashanti
Only something as insane as human beings would ever asked themselves if 'I'm good.' You don't find oak trees having existential crisis. 'I feel so rotten about myself. I don't produce as much acorns as the one next to me.'
Adyashanti
When we're in our true being, the purpose of life is to feel that every moment is the purpose.
Adyashanti
Imagine trusting silence more than any thought you can come up with.
Adyashanti
As you rest into stillness more profoundly, awareness becomes free of the mind's compulsive control, contractions, and identifications. Awareness naturally returns to its non-state of absolute unmanifest potential, the silent abyss beyond all knowing.
Adyashanti
Embrace suffering, and you transform your relationship with what causes you to suffer, as well as your relationship with suffering itself.
Adyashanti
When we start to suffer, it tells us something very valuable. It means that we are not seeing the truth, and we are not relating from the truth. It's a beautiful pointer. It never fails.
Adyashanti
Silence is the only teaching and the only teacher that is there all the time.
Adyashanti
When you rest in quietness and your image of yourself fades, and your image of the world fades, and your ideas of others fade, what's left? A brightness, a radiant emptiness that is simply what you are.
Adyashanti
Real meditation is not about mastering a technique it's about letting go of control.
Adyashanti
When someone says, 'I love you,' he is telling you about himself, not you. When someone says, 'I hate you,' she is telling you about herself, not you. World views are self views-literally.
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.
