More quotes by Adyashanti
We must leave the entire collection of conditioned thought behind and let ourselves be led by the inner thread of silence into the unknown, beyond where all paths end, to that place where we go innocently or not at all, not once but continually.
Adyashanti
A total acceptance of yourself brings about a total transcendence of yourself.
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
Be a true representative of the goodness in your heart, and don't expect it to be easy or even noticed.
Adyashanti
What matters are not the truths other people tell us or the practices that we are able to mimic, but the spiritual discoveries we make through personal investigation.
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
All you have to do is say yes. Don't make some big project out of it. Don't make some big deal out of it. Just say yes. You don't even know what it means to say yes, but you say it anyway. You'll never know what it means to say yes, but you do it anyway. Freedom and Love arise when you die into the unknown mystery of being.
Adyashanti
You think that enlightenment is something other than what is happening right now. This is your primary mistake.
Adyashanti
Love moves without an agenda. It just moves because that is its nature to move.
Adyashanti
Embrace suffering, and you transform your relationship with what causes you to suffer, as well as your relationship with suffering itself.
Adyashanti
You are the doorway to the infinite.
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
Grace is something that comes to us when we somehow find ourselves completely available, when we become openhearted and open-minded, and are willing to entertain the possibility that we may not know what we think we know.
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
Life sustains itself. Let go of the ego and life takes care of itself through you.
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
Why is it that so few people are truly free? Because they try to conform to ideas, concepts, and beliefs in their heads.
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
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.
Adyashanti
In the end it’s all very simple. Either we give ourselves to Silence or we don’t.
