More quotes by Adyashanti
All is always well even when it seems unbelievably unwell.
Adyashanti
True sincerity reveals a powerful form of clarity and discernment that is necessary in order to perceive yourself honestly without flinching or being held captive by your conditioned mind's judgments and defensiveness.
Adyashanti
The willingness to not bypass illusion is very important. We come to nirvana by way of samsara. We come to see the true nature of things by seeing through the illusory nature of things. We don't come to nirvana by avoiding samsara. We don't come to clarity by avoiding confusion.
Adyashanti
How do I integrate spirituality into my everyday life? Throw out the concept of spiritual life and everyday life. There is only life, undivided and whole.
Adyashanti
Many Sages have said, Your world is a dream. You're living in an illusion. They're referring to this world of the mind and the way we believe our thoughts about reality. When we see the world through our thoughts, we stop experiencing life as it really is and others as they really are.
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
There is, quite literally, nothing to understand.
Adyashanti
Love moves without an agenda. It just moves because that is its nature to move.
Adyashanti
Has it ever occurred to you that you are seeking God with His eyes?
Adyashanti
An ordinary man seeks freedom through enlightenment. An enlightened man expresses freedom through being ordinary.
Adyashanti
When you let go of the egoic self what you're getting in exchange is the whole universe.
Adyashanti
The truth is that you already are what you are seeking.
Adyashanti
Go ahead, climb up onto the velvet top of the highest stakes table. Place yourself as the bet. Look God in the eyes and finally, for once in your life, lose.
Adyashanti
Often life is a frantic avoidance of the truth.
Adyashanti
Grief, unresisted, is grace. It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't mean it doesn't rip your heart out....In great grief, there's an incredible love in it. In love there's a tinge of bitter. In true love. My teacher used to say 'all love is bittersweet'. All things experienced fully, reveal their opposite.
Adyashanti
There's something more to life than what we see on the surface.
Adyashanti
Real meditation is not about mastering a technique it's about letting go of control.
Adyashanti
Fear is very often a part of the spiritual path. When people sit down and meditate it's not at all uncommon for fear to arise at some point.
Adyashanti
No one can give you the strength of character necessary... Only you can find that passion within that burns with an integrity that will not settle for anything less than the Truth.
Adyashanti
Completion comes when we not just wake up from all form, from all identification, but when love causes us to re-embrace it all.
