More quotes by Adyashanti
True meditation has no direction or goal. It is pure wordless surrender, pure silent prayer.
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
Love causes us to be deeply connected in an unspoken way. It happens when we're really available, really open.
Adyashanti
One doesn't stay in a state of nirvana by hiding from difficulties. You stay in nirvana by lavishing nirvana on everyone you meet, by giving it away as fast as you receive it.
Adyashanti
When you begin to become conscious, more aware, when your eyes begin to open, the first thing you see is how deluded you are and how much you're holding onto that which makes you suffer. This is, in many ways, the most important step: Are you willing to be aware?
Adyashanti
Only when the pursuit ceases, is it possible to recognize what comprises you: pure being.
Adyashanti
Meditation is not a technique to master it is the highest form of prayer, a naked act of love and effortless surrender into the silent abyss beyond all knowing
Adyashanti
Grace is something that comes to us when we somehow find ourselves completely available, when we become openhearted and open-minded, and are willing to entertain the possibility that we may not know what we think we know.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment is the unaltered state of consciousness
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.
Adyashanti
The Truth is the only thing you’ll ever run into that has no agenda.
Adyashanti
Awareness isn’t something we own awareness isn’t something we possess. Awareness is actually what we are.
Adyashanti
Love is a flame that burns everything other than itself. It is the destruction of all that is false and the fulfillment of all that is true.
Adyashanti
To be here, all you have to do is let go of who you think you are. That's all! And then you realize, I'm here. Here is where thoughts aren't believed. Every time you come here, you are nothing. Radiantly nothing. Absolutely and eternally zero. Emptiness that is awake. Emptiness that is full. Emptiness that is everything.
Adyashanti
The paradox is that when resistance is fully accepted, the resistance disappears.
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
You must choose between your attachments and happiness.
Adyashanti
Doubt is always accompanied by a pervasive cynicism that unconsciously puts a negative spin on whatever it touches.
Adyashanti
If you think that people should be nice to one another, then by all means be nice. But when you project that belief onto the people and the world around you as if it were an objective reality, or worse still, as if it were their job to be nice to you, you put yourself at odds with what is, and suffering will surely follow.
Adyashanti
You are not your story. They are not your story about them. The world is not your story about the world.
