More quotes by Adyashanti
No matter what identity we cling to, it takes great courage to step out of the old masks we wear and the old scripts that we live by, and open ourselves to the mysterious inner core of our being.
Adyashanti
Have you noticed, with whatever quality of love you have experienced, that when true love arises, it opens up both your mind and emotions? It's an openness to whatever is happening.
Adyashanti
Life itself is nothing but relationship.
Adyashanti
Be a true representative of the goodness in your heart, and don't expect it to be easy or even noticed.
Adyashanti
Silence is the only teaching and the only teacher that is there all the time.
Adyashanti
If you have any image of what the Truth is, slay it immediately because that's not it.
Adyashanti
Awareness yields to itself, to its inherent creativity, to its expression in form, to experience itself.
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
Only something as insane as human beings would ever asked themselves if 'I'm good.' You don't find oak trees having existential crisis. 'I feel so rotten about myself. I don't produce as much acorns as the one next to me.'
Adyashanti
The silence inside of you is the sound of your knowledge collapsing. Remember, it is you who said, 'I want to be free.'
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
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
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
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
The true heart of all human beings is the lover of what is.
Adyashanti
Whatever you resist, persists.
Adyashanti
When we're in our true being, the purpose of life is to feel that every moment is the purpose.
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
You are an incredible mystery that you will never figure out. To be this mystery consciously is the greatest joy.
Adyashanti
True meditation has no direction or goal. It is pure wordless surrender, pure silent prayer.
