More quotes by Adyashanti
When we're in our true being, the purpose of life is to feel that every moment is the purpose.
Adyashanti
A meditative mind is at ease because it's not trying to acquire anything.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment is the natural state of consciousness, the innocent state of consciousness, that state which is uncontaminated by the movement of thought, uncontaminated by control or manipulation of mind.
Adyashanti
Gratitude is the appreciation of what is, of life, of existence, of anybody and anything, for just the way it is.
Adyashanti
A quiet mind married to integrity of heart is the birth of wisdom.
Adyashanti
There's a great space in which this moment takes place. There's a great silence that is listening to the thoughts.
Adyashanti
In silence a question has great power, because in silence a question will always lead you deeper into your experience. If there is no grounding in silence, a spiritual question is going to lead you into your mind.
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
Wisdom without love is like having lungs but no air to breathe. Do not seek wisdom in order to acquire knowledge but in order to live and love more fully.
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
True Meditation is the space in which everything gets revealed, everything gets seen, everything gets experienced. And as such, it lets go of itself. We don't even let go. It lets go of itself.
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
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
At first it seems as if begoing follows becoming. But look even closer and you will see that there are only flashes of lightning illuminating the empty sky.
Adyashanti
The truth is that you already are what you are seeking. You are looking for God with his eyes. I suggest you ask, What's ultimately behind this set of eyes? Turn around to see what is looking.
Adyashanti
The more in harmony you are with the flow of your own existence, the more magical life becomes.
Adyashanti
The body is a sensing instrument of consciousness. Without the body and mind, the trees could not see themselves. Usually we think that we are looking at a tree, but the tree is looking at itself through us. Without this instrument, the tree does not get to see itself. We are sensing instruments of the Divine.
Adyashanti
If you prefer smoke over fire then get up now and leave. For I do not intend to perfume your mind's clothing with more sooty knowledge.
Adyashanti
A total acceptance of yourself brings about a total transcendence of yourself.
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.
