ADYASHANTI -
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.
ADYASHANTI -
When we’re in our true being, the purpose of life is to feel that every moment is the purpose.
