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
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
The world's problems are, by and large, human problems-the unavoidable consequence of egoic sleepwalking. If we care to look, all the signs are present to suggest that we are not only sleepwalking, but at times borderline insane as well.
Adyashanti
Silence is the only teaching and the only teacher that is there all the time.
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
If we would only see that all limitations are self imposed and chosen out of fear, we would leap at once.
Adyashanti
Whatever you resist, persists.
Adyashanti
Do not seek after what you yearn for, seek the source of the yearning itself.
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
Question your thoughts. Question your stories. Question your assumptions. Question your opinions. Question your conclusions. Question them all into utter emptiness, stillness and joy. The keys to freedom are in your hands. Use them.
Adyashanti
Freedom is the disappearance of that which is searching for freedom.
Adyashanti
Many Sages have said, Your world is a dream. You're living in an illusion. They're referring to this world of the mind and the way we believe our thoughts about reality. When we see the world through our thoughts, we stop experiencing life as it really is and others as they really are.
Adyashanti
Doubt is always accompanied by a pervasive cynicism that unconsciously puts a negative spin on whatever it touches.
Adyashanti
The more in harmony you are with the flow of your own existence, the more magical life becomes.
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
Love moves without an agenda. It just moves because that is its nature to move.
Adyashanti
All is always well even when it seems unbelievably unwell.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It's seeing through the facade of pretence. It's the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.
Adyashanti
True meditation is letting go of manipulating our experience.
Adyashanti
Thoughts in your head are really no different than the sound of a bird outside. It is just that you decide that they are more or less relevant.
Adyashanti
An ordinary man seeks freedom through enlightenment. An enlightened man expresses freedom through being ordinary.
