The more in harmony you are with the flow of your own existence, the more magical life becomes.
AdyashantiSelf-inquiry is a spiritually induced form of wintertime. It's not about looking for a right answer so much as stripping away and letting you see what is not necessary, what you can do without, what you are without your leaves.
AdyashantiStop all delays, all seeking and all striving. Put down your concepts, ideas and beliefs. For one instant be still and directly encounter the silent unknown core of your being. In that instant Freedom will embrace you and reveal the Awakening that you are.
AdyashantiReal meditation is not about mastering a technique; itโs about letting go of control. This is meditation. Anything else is actually a form of concentration. Meditation and concentration are two different things. Concentration is a discipline; concentration is a way in which we are actually directing or guiding or controlling our experience. Meditation is letting go of control, letting go of guiding our experience in any way whatsoever. The foundation of True Meditation is that we are letting go of control.
AdyashantiWhen we see the world through our thoughts, we stop experiencing life as it really is and others as they really are. When I have a thought about you, thatโs something Iโve created. Iโve turned you into an idea. In a certain sense, if I have an idea about you that I believe, Iโve degraded you. Iโve made you into something very small. This is the way of human beings, this is what we do to each other.
