There is profound responsibility in being Love... more than the mind could imagine or hold up under. If most human beings truly realized the impact that they have on the whole, they'd be crushed by the realization of it.

More quotes by 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
Stop all doing and be still. Let the fire of stillness burn everything and reveal That which is Openness.
Adyashanti
Nothing appears to be something. The human experience is a senseory organ for the divine self. Through these eyes, the divine gets to see itself in form.
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
Real meditation is not about mastering a technique it's about letting go of control.
Adyashanti
The main requirement for spiritual growth: A yearning to know who you really are.
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
As soon as the mind pulls out an agenda and decides what needs to change, that's unreality. Life doesn't need to decide who's right and who's wrong. Life doesn't need to know the right way to go because it's going there anyway.
Adyashanti
The door to God is the insecurity of not knowing anything. Bear the grace of that uncertainty and all wisdom will be yours.
Adyashanti
Whatever you can become will ultimately be destroyed. Only what you already are can't be taken away.
Adyashanti
The beautiful thing about the truth of being is that it's so unimaginably immediate.
Adyashanti
The willingness to not bypass illusion is very important. We come to nirvana by way of samsara. We come to see the true nature of things by seeing through the illusory nature of things. We don't come to nirvana by avoiding samsara. We don't come to clarity by avoiding confusion.
Adyashanti
Instead of striving towards some distant goal that you will never reach, I invite you to stop and ask: How am I avoiding the enlightenment that is already present in each moment? How am I seeing separation where it doesn't exist?
Adyashanti
Now don't think that awakening is the end. Awakening is the end of seeking, the end of the seeker, but it is the beginning of a life lived from your true nature.
Adyashanti
To find out that you are empty of emptiness is to die into an aware mystery, which is the source of all existence.
Adyashanti
We think there’s someplace other than here to get to—that’s what drives the whole pursuit. Only when the pursuit ceases, is it possible to recognize what comprises you: pure being, pure consciousness. This is actually the very substance of your own self and being.
Adyashanti
Enlightenment means waking up to what you truly are and then being that.
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
Meditation is not something restricted to times of formal seated meditation it is most fundamentally an attitude of being-a resting in and as being. Once you get the feel of it, you will be able to tune into it more and more often during your daily life. Eventually, in the state of liberation, meditation will simply become your natural condition.
Adyashanti
Take one step backward into the unknown.
