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.

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
Why is it that so few people are truly free? Because they try to conform to ideas, concepts, and beliefs in their heads.
Adyashanti
As soon as you believe that a label you've put on yourself is true, you've limited something that is literally limitless, you've limited who you are into nothing but a thought.
Adyashanti
What is really important you can't understand with your mind.
Adyashanti
As I often tell my students, the person you’ll have the hardest time opening to and truly loving without reserve is yourself. Once you can do that, you can love the whole universe unconditionally.
Adyashanti
When we're in our true being, the purpose of life is to feel that every moment is the purpose.
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
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
When the eternal and the human meet, that's where love is born -- not through escaping our humanity or trying to disappear into transcendence, but through finding that place where they come into union.
Adyashanti
A total acceptance of yourself brings about a total transcendence of yourself.
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
The Truth is the only thing you’ll ever run into that has no agenda.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment means waking up to what you truly are and then being that.
Adyashanti
You can't look at what's looking. You can't think about that which is prior to thought.
Adyashanti
Life sustains itself. Let go of the ego and life takes care of itself through you.
Adyashanti
Love moves without an agenda. It just moves because that is its nature to move.
Adyashanti
Refuse to disconnect from love and every relationship will be totally transformed even the relationship with yourself.
Adyashanti
Our own intuition of what we're called to is reality speaking to us individually and perfectly. We have to listen to how the Infinite talks to us and leads us. Reality, Life the Infinite, God, has a way of leading us in just the perfect way, if we will only just listen to it.
Adyashanti
Inherent in the impulse to be free, is insecurity. The impulse to be free comes from outside of the mind, and because of this, it makes the mind feel very insecure. Most spiritual seekers move away from this insecurity by seeking and striving for a distant spiritual goal. That's how they avoid feeling insecure.
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.
