More quotes by Adyashanti
The question of being is everything. Nothing could be more important or consequential-n othing where the stakes run so high. To remain unconscious of being is to remain asleep to our own reality and therefore asleep to reality at large. The choice is simple: awaken to being or sleep an endless sleep.
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
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
Why is it that so few people are truly free? Because they try to conform to ideas, concepts, and beliefs in their heads.
Adyashanti
My speaking is meant to shake you awake, not to tell you how to dream better.
Adyashanti
Imagine trusting silence more than any thought you can come up with.
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
Whatever you want, be it. If you want connection, it's because you are connection. Be what you want, and then it happens all around you. If you want love, be it. You'll have more love than you know what to do with. Whatever you are inside, you receive a thousandfold on the outside.
Adyashanti
Whenever you aren’t manipulating your experience, you’re meditating. As soon as you meditate because you think you should, you’re controlling your experience again, and you’ve squeezed all the value out of your meditation.
Adyashanti
We must become expressions of, not consumers of, realization.
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
Take the armor off, so the arrow of the Truth can penetrate you.
Adyashanti
Suffering is how Life tells you that you are resisting or misperceiving what is real and true. It is the way Life suggests that you are not in harmony with what is.
Adyashanti
How do I integrate spirituality into my everyday life? Throw out the concept of spiritual life and everyday life. There is only life, undivided and whole.
Adyashanti
You are not your story. They are not your story about them. The world is not your story about the world.
Adyashanti
Stop all doing and be still. Let the fire of stillness burn everything and reveal That which is Openness.
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
If you have any image of what the Truth is, slay it immediately because that's not it.
Adyashanti
An ordinary man seeks freedom through enlightenment. An enlightened man expresses freedom through being ordinary.
Adyashanti
When we really start to take a look at who we think we are, we become very grace prone.
