AdyashantiAdyashanti Actually, all paths lead away from the truth…how’s that? All paths. There’s no such thing as a path to the truth. The truth’s already here, where are you going?

AdyashantiAdyashanti Relaxing into not knowing is almost like surrendering into a big, comfortable chair; you just fall into a field of possibility.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Until we start to see these false perceptions for what they really are, consciousness will be imprisoned within the dream state.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Love is a flame that burns everything other than itself. It is the destruction of all that is false and the fulfillment of all that is true.
AdyashantiAdyashanti This movement of grasping and aversion gives rise to a sense of a separate ‘me,’ and in turn the sense of ‘me’ strengthens itself this way.
AdyashantiAdyashanti The question of being is everything. Nothing could be more important or consequential-n othing where the stakes run so high.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Completion comes when we not just wake up from all form, from all identification, but when love causes us to re-embrace it all.
