More quotes by Adyashanti
Enlightenment is a destructive process.
Adyashanti
Spirituality does not require that you work hard toward achieving a result in the future as much as it requires you to be fully present, sincere and committed now, with absolute honesty and willingness to uncover and let go of any illusions that come between you and the realization of Reality.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment means waking up to what you truly are and then being that.
Adyashanti
Gratitude is the appreciation of what is, of life, of existence, of anybody and anything, for just the way it is.
Adyashanti
Nothingness is an absolute infinite potential, not an empty box.
Adyashanti
An ordinary man seeks freedom through enlightenment. An enlightened man expresses freedom through being ordinary.
Adyashanti
The goal of Buddhism is to create Buddhas, not Buddhists, as the goal of Christianity is to create Christs, not Christians.
Adyashanti
There is only consciousness. There is no individual apart from consciousness who is conscious.
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
Ego is the movement of the mind toward objects of perception in the form of grasping, and away from objects in the form of aversion. This fundamentally is all the ego is. This movement of grasping and aversion gives rise to a sense of a separate 'me,' and in turn the sense of 'me' strengthens itself this way.
Adyashanti
My speaking is meant to shake you awake, not to tell you how to dream better.
Adyashanti
Meditation is not something restricted to times of formal seated meditation it is most fundamentally an attitude of being-a resting in and as being. Once you get the feel of it, you will be able to tune into it more and more often during your daily life. Eventually, in the state of liberation, meditation will simply become your natural condition.
Adyashanti
Take the armor off, so the arrow of the Truth can penetrate you.
Adyashanti
The realization of Truth and Reality can never be created by the mind ... it always comes as a gift of grace. Inquiry clears away misperceptions and illusions, making one available to the movements of grace.
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
The most challenging thing for the spiritual seeker to do is to stop struggling.
Adyashanti
Meditation is a dress rehearsal for death.
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.
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
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.
