More quotes by 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.

Meditation is a dress rehearsal for death.

Misery needs your conspiracy it needs your help. Without your resistance misery cannot survive.

Thoughts in your head are really no different than the sound of a bird outside. It is just that you decide that they are more or less relevant.
Adyashanti
Only when the pursuit ceases, is it possible to recognize what comprises you: pure being.

The aim of my teaching is enlightenment, awakening from the dream state of separateness into the reality of the One. In short, my teaching is focused on realizing what you are.
Adyashanti

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
When we really start to take a look at who we think we are, we become very grace prone.
Adyashanti
Have you noticed, with whatever quality of love you have experienced, that when true love arises, it opens up both your mind and emotions? It's an openness to whatever is happening.
Adyashanti
Real meditation is not about mastering a technique it's about letting go of control.
Adyashanti
The question of being is everything. Nothing could be more important or consequential-n othing where the stakes run so high. To remain unconscious of being is to remain asleep to our own reality and therefore asleep to reality at large. The choice is simple: awaken to being or sleep an endless sleep.
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
One doesn't stay in a state of nirvana by hiding from difficulties. You stay in nirvana by lavishing nirvana on everyone you meet, by giving it away as fast as you receive it.
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
A total acceptance of yourself brings about a total transcendence of yourself.
Adyashanti
Since everything is already the Supreme Buddha Nature, where are you going to find it?
