More quotes by Adyashanti
What the universe will manifest when you are in alignment with it is a lot more interesting than what you try to manifest
Adyashanti
We are birthed into sangha, into sacred community. It is called the world.
Adyashanti
We must become expressions of, not consumers of, realization.
Adyashanti
Have you noticed, with whatever quality of love you have experienced, that when true love arises, it opens up both your mind and emotions? It's an openness to whatever is happening.
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
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
Life sustains itself. Let go of the ego and life takes care of itself through you.
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
All delusions begin in the mind. All delusions are based on various ways we’re talking to ourselves and then believing what we are saying.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment means waking up to what you truly are and then being that.
Adyashanti
If we would only see that all limitations are self imposed and chosen out of fear, we would leap at once.
Adyashanti
Truth is not over there, wherever over there is. Truth is neither housed in religious rituals nor secret doctrines, nor in a guru's touch or beatific smile, nor in exotic locations or ancient temples. Truth is quite literally the only thing that does exist. It is not hidden but in plain view, not lacking but abundantly present.
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
If you want to know something, go elsewhere. If you want to un-know everything, then sit and listen.
Adyashanti
You must want to know the truth more than you want to feel secure in order to fully awaken to the fact that you are nothing but Awakeness itself.
Adyashanti
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.
Adyashanti
A spiritual teaching is a finger pointing toward Reality it is not Reality itself. To be in a true and mature relationship with a spiritual teaching requires you to apply it, not simply believe in it.
Adyashanti
Often life is a frantic avoidance of the truth.
Adyashanti
Your life, all of your life, is your path to awakening. By resisting or not dealing with its challenges, you stay asleep to Reality. Pay attention to what life is trying to reveal to you. Say yes to its fierce, ruthless, and loving grace.
Adyashanti
Awakening to the truth is a deep realization of what you are as an experience. What is it that is listening? What is it that is feeling? Feel it. Sense it. Welcome it.
