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.

More quotes by Adyashanti
The Truth is the only thing you’ll ever run into that has no agenda.
Adyashanti
Nothing appears to be something. The human experience is a senseory organ for the divine self. Through these eyes, the divine gets to see itself in form.
Adyashanti
I often describe the Absolute as Pure Infinite Potential, prior to being or becoming anything. It is forever unborn, yet gives birth to all of existence. About our ultimate nature nothing can be said it must be revealed.
Adyashanti
All is always well even when it seems unbelievably unwell.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment is a destructive process.
Adyashanti
There is only consciousness. There is no individual apart from consciousness who is conscious.
Adyashanti
The mind may accept or deny that you are awareness, but either way it can’t really understand. It cannot comprehend. Thought cannot comprehend what is beyond thought.
Adyashanti
Whatever you can become will ultimately be destroyed. Only what you already are can't be taken away.
Adyashanti
It is one thing to touch a flame and know it is hot, but quite another to jump into that flame and be consumed by it.
Adyashanti
All that is necessary to awaken to yourself as the radiant emptiness of spirit is to stop seeking something more or better or different, and to turn your attention inward to the awake silence that you are.
Adyashanti
We must become expressions of, not consumers of, realization.
Adyashanti
One Zen master said, The whole universe is my true personality. This is a very wonderful saying... If you want to see what you truly are, open the window, and everything you see is in fact the expression of your inner reality. Can you embrace all of it?
Adyashanti
You can't look at what's looking. You can't think about that which is prior to thought.
Adyashanti
If we would only see that all limitations are self imposed and chosen out of fear, we would leap at once.
Adyashanti
Whatever you resist you become. If you resist anger, you are always angry. If you resist sadness, you are always sad. If you resist suffering, you are always suffering. If you resist confusion,you are always confused. We think that we resist certain states because they are there, but actually they are there because we resist them.
Adyashanti
The truth is that you already are what you are seeking.
Adyashanti
What would happen if you were to allow everything to be exactly as it is? If you gave up the need for control, and instead embraced the whole of your experience in each moment that arose?
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
What you run away from owns you. You are the dog on a leash. The most you can do is to tug against the leash.
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?
