You can't lose what you serve. That's the secret. What you serve, you can't lose. What you don't serve and what you try to hold onto, you can't hold onto. It's always slipping out of your fingers.

More quotes by 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 perspective of Love doesn't leave anybody out. Until your vision and compassion is big enough to include those who oppose you, you are simply contributing to the continuation of destructiveness . The end of separation is the salvation for all.
Adyashanti
Wisdom without love is like having lungs but no air to breathe. Do not seek wisdom in order to acquire knowledge but in order to live and love more fully.
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
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.
Adyashanti
Awareness isn’t something we own awareness isn’t something we possess. Awareness is actually what we are.
Adyashanti
You are not your story. They are not your story about them. The world is not your story about the world.
Adyashanti
You are an incredible mystery that you will never figure out. To be this mystery consciously is the greatest joy.
Adyashanti
Refuse to disconnect from love and every relationship will be totally transformed even the relationship with yourself.
Adyashanti
Misery needs your conspiracy it needs your help. Without your resistance misery cannot survive.
Adyashanti
If you have any image of what the Truth is, slay it immediately because that's not it.
Adyashanti
The truth is that you already are what you are seeking.
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
We must leave the entire collection of conditioned thought behind and let ourselves be led by the inner thread of silence into the unknown, beyond where all paths end, to that place where we go innocently or not at all, not once but continually.
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
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
There is only consciousness. There is no individual apart from consciousness who is conscious.
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
All we really want in the end is to be connected once again with the Truth of our being, to realize what it is that wears this mask of self.
Adyashanti
Many people think that it is the function of a spiritual teaching to provide answers to life's biggest questions, but actually, the opposite is true. The primary task of any good spiritual teaching is not to answer your questions, but to question your answers.
