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.

More quotes by Adyashanti
Love causes us to be deeply connected in an unspoken way. It happens when we're really available, really open.
Adyashanti
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.
Adyashanti
Awareness yields to itself, to its inherent creativity, to its expression in form, to experience itself.
Adyashanti
When we start to suffer, it tells us something very valuable. It means that we are not seeing the truth, and we are not relating from the truth. It's a beautiful pointer. It never fails.
Adyashanti
It is good to remember that the goal of Buddhism is to create Buddhas, not Buddhists, as the goal of Christianity is to create Christs, not Christians. In the same vein, my teachings are not meant to acquire followers or imitators, but to awaken beings to eternal truth and thus to awakened life and living.
Adyashanti
Whatever you can become will ultimately be destroyed. Only what you already are can't be taken away.
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
A total acceptance of yourself brings about a total transcendence of yourself.
Adyashanti
The Truth is the only thing you’ll ever run into that has no agenda.
Adyashanti
Truth has no finality to it. It is not something to be held on to. Truth is discovered minute to minute or not at all.
Adyashanti
Self-inquiry is a spiritually induced form of wintertime. It's not about looking for a right answer so much as stripping away and letting you see what is not necessary, what you can do without, what you are without your leaves.
Adyashanti
Cessation of struggle is like free falling through space without a care in the world.
Adyashanti
The light of consciousness has no mind to change or alter anything. There is no sense that anything needs to change, but it does change.
Adyashanti
Feel this moment, see it with a willingness to experience it deeply, whether it be good, bad, or indifferent. Emotionally and feelingly be fully present, right here, vulnerable, with your heart. Just be present. Don't live from your conditioned mind, live from unconditional truth.
Adyashanti
Take the armor off, so the arrow of the Truth can penetrate you.
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
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
When we really start to take a look at who we think we are, we become very grace prone.
Adyashanti
Stop all delays, all seeking and all striving. Put down your concepts, ideas and beliefs. For one instant be still and directly encounter the silent unknown core of your being. In that instant Freedom will embrace you and reveal the Awakening that you are.
Adyashanti
You are not your story. They are not your story about them. The world is not your story about the world.
