Since everything is already the Supreme Buddha Nature, where are you going to find it?
AdyashantiAdyashanti The process of finding the truth may not be a process by which we feel increasingly better and better. It may be a process by which we look at things honestly, sincerely, truthfully, and that may or may not be an easy thing to do.
AdyashantiAdyashanti What the universe will manifest when you are in alignment with it is a lot more interesting than what you try to manifest
AdyashantiAdyashanti A quiet mind married to integrity of heart is the birth of wisdom.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Truth has no finality to it. It is not something to be held on to. Truth is discovered minute to minute or not at all.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Grace is something that comes to us when we somehow find ourselves completely available, when we become openhearted and open-minded, and are willing to entertain the possibility that we may not know what we think we know.
AdyashantiAdyashanti When emptiness is still, that is eternity. When it moves, that is love.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Gratitude is the appreciation of what is, of life, of existence, of anybody and anything, for just the way it is.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Only when the pursuit ceases, is it possible to recognize what comprises you: pure being.
AdyashantiAdyashanti To remain unconscious of being is to remain asleep to our own reality and therefore asleep to reality at large. The choice is simple: awaken to being or sleep an endless sleep.
AdyashantiAdyashanti 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.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Love moves without an agenda. It just moves because that is its nature to move.
AdyashantiAdyashanti All that is necessary to awaken to yourself as the radiant emptiness of spirit is to stop seeking something more or better or different, and to turn your attention inward to the awake silence that you are.
AdyashantiAdyashanti Our own intuition of what we’re called to is reality speaking to us individually and perfectly. We have to listen to how the Infinite talks to us and leads us. Reality, Life the Infinite, God, has a way of leading us in just the perfect way, if we will only just listen to it.
AdyashantiAdyashanti As you gently relax into awareness, into listening, the mind’s compulsive contraction around objects will fade. Awareness naturally returns to its non-state of absolute unmanifest potential, the silent abyss beyond all knowing.
AdyashantiAdyashanti 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.
