ADYASHANTI -
There is, quite literally, nothing to understand.
ADYASHANTI -
The ultimate freedom from the nonexistent ego is to see that it is actually irrelevant.
ADYASHANTI -
When we really start to take a look at who we think we are… we start to see that while we may have various thoughts, beliefs, and identities, they do not individually or collectively tell us who we are.
ADYASHANTI -
This simply strengthens the ego. In fact, such conclusions arise from the ego itself. Pay no attention to them. Don’t go to war with yourself; simply inquire into who you are.
ADYASHANTI -
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.
ADYASHANTI -
