More quotes by 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
There is only consciousness. There is no individual apart from consciousness who is conscious.
Adyashanti
The truth is you can't try to let go. Trying is the opposite of letting go. To let go is to relinquish trying. To let go is much more like to let be.
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
You are an incredible mystery that you will never figure out. To be this mystery consciously is the greatest joy.
Adyashanti
The body is a sensing instrument of consciousness. Without the body and mind, the trees could not see themselves. Usually we think that we are looking at a tree, but the tree is looking at itself through us. Without this instrument, the tree does not get to see itself. We are sensing instruments of the Divine.
Adyashanti
An ordinary man seeks freedom through enlightenment. An enlightened man expresses freedom through being ordinary.
Adyashanti
The Truth is the only thing you’ll ever run into that has no agenda.
Adyashanti
Silence is the only teaching and the only teacher that is there all the time.
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
The perspective of Love doesn't leave anybody out. Until your vision and compassion is big enough to include those who oppose you, you are simply contributing to the continuation of destructiveness . The end of separation is the salvation for all.
Adyashanti
All that is necessary to awaken to yourself as the radiant emptiness of spirit is to stop seeking something more or better or different, and to turn your attention inward to the awake silence that you are.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment is a destructive process.
Adyashanti
Faith is a withholding of conclusion so that you allow what is to arise.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment means waking up to what you truly are and then being that.
Adyashanti
Freedom is the disappearance of that which is searching for freedom.
Adyashanti
It is one thing to touch a flame and know it is hot, but quite another to jump into that flame and be consumed by it.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment is the unaltered state of consciousness
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
What will carry us into living freedom is not the holding of attention so much as the holding of appreciation.
