More quotes by Adyashanti
Meditation is not a technique to master it is the highest form of prayer, a naked act of love and effortless surrender into the silent abyss beyond all knowing
Adyashanti
The more honest and authentic we are, the more deeply we go into the mystery of our own being.
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
Grief, unresisted, is grace. It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't mean it doesn't rip your heart out....In great grief, there's an incredible love in it. In love there's a tinge of bitter. In true love. My teacher used to say 'all love is bittersweet'. All things experienced fully, reveal their opposite.
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
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
Meditation is a teaching which offers you the possibility of breaking free of this egoic state of consciousness and coming into a whole new realization of who and what you truly are. And all this starts with the willingness to question. To pause for just a moment and realize that maybe you aren't who you imagine yourself to be.
Adyashanti
True meditation is letting go of manipulating our experience.
Adyashanti
We are birthed into sangha, into sacred community. It is called the world.
Adyashanti
The moment that you are willing to step outside of tomorrow, outside of needing more time, or having more time, everything becomes possible. And you may finally notice where the Buddha has always been.
Adyashanti
When we really start to take a look at who we think we are... we start to see that while we may have various thoughts, beliefs, and identities, they do not individually or collectively tell us who we are. [And yet] it is astounding how completely we humans define ourselves by the content of our minds, feelings, and history.
Adyashanti
The main requirement for spiritual growth: A yearning to know who you really are.
Adyashanti
If we do not live and manifest in our lives what we realize in our deepest moments of revelation, then we are living a split life.
Adyashanti
Has it ever occurred to you that you are seeking God with His eyes?
Adyashanti
In silence a question has great power, because in silence a question will always lead you deeper into your experience. If there is no grounding in silence, a spiritual question is going to lead you into your mind.
Adyashanti
The proof of the depth and embodiment of your realization will be seen in your love relationship. That's where the proof is in the pudding. If it all collapses in your relationship, you have some work to do. And people do have a lot of difficulties in their relationships.
Adyashanti
Grace is something that comes to us when we somehow find ourselves completely available, when we become openhearted and open-minded, and are willing to entertain the possibility that we may not know what we think we know.
Adyashanti
No one can give you the strength of character necessary... Only you can find that passion within that burns with an integrity that will not settle for anything less than the Truth.
Adyashanti
The beautiful thing about the truth of being is that it's so unimaginably immediate.
Adyashanti
The door to God is the insecurity of not knowing anything. Bear the grace of that uncertainty and all wisdom will be yours.
