Adyashanti discusses this foundational teaching and how it is often overlooked because it sounds so simple. While this teaching appears to be straightforward, to actually embody it takes humility and the curiosity to discover what it truly means.

Quotes from this Video:

“Almost every form of human suffering has a strong element of you being disconnected from something that feels important.”

“At the end of the day, 95% of our suffering is optional. It is caused, in large part, by our resistance to what is—either pushing against something or grabbing hold and identifying with something.”

“My interpretation of ‘be still’ is ‘allow everything to be as it already is.’”

“When you allow everything to be as it is, all of a sudden there is this profound and beautiful intimacy with everything.”

“When we are allowing everything to be as it is, there is nothing that is fracturing our experience into preferable or not preferable, into ‘I want this’ or ‘I want that.’ All at once, our experience just unifies.”
