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.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Our illusions-the beliefs we hold on to-are the very doorways to our freedom. We simply have to enter through them without grasping or pushing away. We must not believe them, but we must not run away from them either.
AdyashantiAdyashanti This world is not my concern; it is myself.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Our yearning for truth actually comes from truth.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Why is it that so few people are truly free? Because they try to conform to ideas, concepts, and beliefs in their heads.
AdyashantiAdyashanti As you peel it back, in the heart of nothing, that is love. You are what you are seeking. Life is a set up so that each of us can actually see in ourselves the truth for ourselves.
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 The mind wants to land, to fixate, to hold a concept, but the only way you can be really free is by not fixating. That’s part of true maturity, and it’s one of the hardest things for spiritual people who have had true and powerful revelations to go through.
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.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Do not seek after what you yearn for, seek the source of the yearning itself.
AdyashantiAdyashanti This awake silence is available to anyone in this moment. All you have to do is stop using your mind to look for it. It doesn’t know where to find it.
