More quotes by Adyashanti
True meditation has no direction or goal. It is pure wordless surrender, pure silent prayer.
Adyashanti
We must become expressions of, not consumers of, realization.
Adyashanti
What is really important you can't understand with your mind.
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
In the end it’s all very simple. Either we give ourselves to Silence or we don’t.
Adyashanti
At any moment, we are either giving humanity the gift of our clarity or our confusion. And that clarity or confusion is affecting the humanity around us, the world around us. It is manifesting. It is taking form.
Adyashanti
No matter what identity we cling to, it takes great courage to step out of the old masks we wear and the old scripts that we live by, and open ourselves to the mysterious inner core of our being.
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 think that enlightenment is something other than what is happening right now. This is your primary mistake.
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
My experience of fundamental Truth is that it’s a place of extraordinary intelligence. It’s a place from which great intelligence arises. I call it a place of absolute infinite potential.
Adyashanti
You can't look at what's looking. You can't think about that which is prior to thought.
Adyashanti
When we're in our true being, the purpose of life is to feel that every moment is the purpose.
Adyashanti
It is one thing to touch a flame and know it is hot, but quite another to jump into that flame and be consumed by it.
Adyashanti
Has it ever occurred to you that you are seeking God with His eyes?
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
What would happen if you were to allow everything to be exactly as it is? If you gave up the need for control, and instead embraced the whole of your experience in each moment that arose?
Adyashanti
The realization of Truth and Reality can never be created by the mind ... it always comes as a gift of grace. Inquiry clears away misperceptions and illusions, making one available to the movements of grace.
Adyashanti
The truth is you can't try to let go. Trying is the opposite of letting go. To let go is to relinquish trying. To let go is much more like to let be.
Adyashanti
Nobody can give us what we really already are. Wouldn't it be terrible if somebody could give you what you really are? ...'cause if they could give it to you, they could take it away.
