Adyashanti on bliss
Adyashanti319 quotes“Reality is always true to itself. When you’re in harmony with it, you experience bliss. As soon as you are not in harmony with it, you experience pain. This is the law of the universe; it is the way things are. Nobody gets out of this law.”

If we look at the world around us, we see that we are conditioned to not listen deeply. Because isn’t that what silence is? It’s a listening, a deep wordless listening.
AdyashantiAdyashanti The more honest and authentic we are, the more deeply we go into the mystery of our own being.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Spirituality does not require that you work hard toward achieving a result in the future as much as it requires you to be fully present.
AdyashantiAdyashanti 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.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Whatever you want, be it. If you want connection, it’s because you are connection. Be what you want, and then it happens all around you. If you want love, be it.
AdyashantiAdyashanti It’s wearing spiritual clothing and spiritual concepts, but it is really no different than a drunk in the gutter who doesn’t want to feel the pain anymore.
AdyashantiAdyashanti An ordinary man seeks freedom through enlightenment. An enlightened man expresses freedom through being ordinary.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Radiantly nothing. Absolutely and eternally zero. Emptiness that is awake. Emptiness that is full. Emptiness that is everything.
AdyashantiAdyashanti When you discover yourself to be nothing but Freedom, you stop setting up conditions and requirements that need to be satisfied in order for you to be happy.

AdyashantiAdyashanti We are birthed into sangha, into sacred community. It is called the world.
AdyashantiAdyashanti True love has nothing to do with liking someone, agreeing with him or her or being compatible. It is a love of unity, a love of seeing God wearing all the masks, and recognising itself in them all..
AdyashantiAdyashanti As I often tell my students, the person you’ll have the hardest time opening to and truly loving without reserve is yourself. Once you can do that, you can love the whole universe unconditionally.
AdyashantiAdyashanti If you were able to give up control absolutely, totally, and completely, then you would be a spiritually free being.
AdyashantiAdyashanti The you who is chasing enlightenment will never become enlightened. Instead of striving towards some distant goal that you will never reach,
AdyashantiAdyashanti Usually we think that we are looking at a tree, but the tree is looking at itself through us. Without this instrument, the tree does not get to see itself. We are sensing instruments of the Divine.
