More quotes by Adyashanti
In True Meditation, we're in the body as a means to transcend it. It is paradoxical that the greatest doorway to the transcendence of form is through form itself.
Adyashanti
To find out that you are empty of emptiness is to die into an aware mystery, which is the source of all existence.
Adyashanti
Why is it that so few people are truly free? Because they try to conform to ideas, concepts, and beliefs in their heads.
Adyashanti
This awake silence is available to anyone in this moment. All you have to do is stop using your mind to look for it. It doesn't know where to find it.
Adyashanti
All is always well even when it seems unbelievably unwell.
Adyashanti
You must want to know the truth more than you want to feel secure in order to fully awaken to the fact that you are nothing but Awakeness itself.
Adyashanti
Cessation of struggle is like free falling through space without a care in the world.
Adyashanti
You are not your story. They are not your story about them. The world is not your story about the world.
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
Instead of striving towards some distant goal that you will never reach, I invite you to stop and ask: How am I avoiding the enlightenment that is already present in each moment? How am I seeing separation where it doesn't exist?
Adyashanti
All delusions begin in the mind. All delusions are based on various ways we’re talking to ourselves and then believing what we are saying.
Adyashanti
We must become expressions of, not consumers of, realization.
Adyashanti
When we really start to take a look at who we think we are... we start to see that while we may have various thoughts, beliefs, and identities, they do not individually or collectively tell us who we are. [And yet] it is astounding how completely we humans define ourselves by the content of our minds, feelings, and history.
Adyashanti
As I often tell my students, the person you’ll have the hardest time opening to and truly loving without reserve is yourself. Once you can do that, you can love the whole universe unconditionally.
Adyashanti
Life itself is nothing but relationship.
Adyashanti
You will only lose when you resist reality you will only struggle when you disagree with what is.
Adyashanti
Refuse to disconnect from love and every relationship will be totally transformed even the relationship with yourself.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment is, in the end, nothing more than the natural state of being.
Adyashanti
Many people think that it is the function of a spiritual teaching to provide answers to life's biggest questions, but actually, the opposite is true. The primary task of any good spiritual teaching is not to answer your questions, but to question your answers.
Adyashanti
Serving the Truth becomes our life instead of just an isolated event. It takes the abstractness out of spirituality. That's the opportunity of real spirituality: to be in service to the silence of the heart.
