Thoughts in your head are really no different than the sound of a bird outside. It is just that you decide that they are more or less relevant.

More quotes by Adyashanti
The world's problems are, by and large, human problems-the unavoidable consequence of egoic sleepwalking. If we care to look, all the signs are present to suggest that we are not only sleepwalking, but at times borderline insane as well.
Adyashanti
The biggest embrace of love you'll ever make is to embrace yourself completely. Then you'll realize you've just embraced the whole universe, and everything and everybody in it.
Adyashanti
The question of being is everything. Nothing could be more important or consequential-n othing where the stakes run so high. To remain unconscious of being is to remain asleep to our own reality and therefore asleep to reality at large. The choice is simple: awaken to being or sleep an endless sleep.
Adyashanti
The door to God is the insecurity of not knowing anything. Bear the grace of that uncertainty and all wisdom will be yours.
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
When we really start to take a look at who we think we are, we become very grace prone.
Adyashanti
Space and stillness is the light that illuminates the beauty of our soul's being.
Adyashanti
You can't lose what you serve. That's the secret. What you serve, you can't lose. What you don't serve and what you try to hold onto, you can't hold onto. It's always slipping out of your fingers.
Adyashanti
In the end it’s all very simple. Either we give ourselves to Silence or we don’t.
Adyashanti
You are the doorway to the infinite.
Adyashanti
In True Meditation, we're in the body as a means to transcend it. It is paradoxical that the greatest doorway to the transcendence of form is through form itself.
Adyashanti
Real meditation is not about mastering a technique it's about letting go of control.
Adyashanti
Embrace suffering, and you transform your relationship with what causes you to suffer, as well as your relationship with suffering itself.
Adyashanti
Imagine trusting silence more than any thought you can come up with.
Adyashanti
We must become expressions of, not consumers of, realization.
Adyashanti
One must be willing to stand alone - in the unknown, with no reference to authority or the past or any of one's conditioning. One must stand where no one has stood before in complete nakedness, innocence, and humility.
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.
Adyashanti
Silence is the only teaching and the only teacher that is there all the time.
Adyashanti
The most intimate question we can ask, and the one that has the most spiritual power, is this: What or who am I?
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.
