Adyashanti - The Drive to Truth 

In my opinion, Adya is a great speaker as I often find people who meditate are. He cuts the crap and delivers meaningful sentences with clarity.

Cutting right to the chase...err...I mean no chase?

Thank you so much adyashanti 🙏

Wanting and striving to get what we want (on all imaginable levels) is actually why we are here - to experience all of that. So the best advice a true teacher can give is : go for it ! Give it your all, your heart, your time, everything ! And enjoy the results, as much as you can... It's as simple as that really and it couldn't be more spiritual. Spirituality is nothing more than making yourself happy in the moment. Go from one desire to the next one and try to fullfill them all until you succed at it, or until it all just stops making any sense to you. After all, isn't it what we all did right up until now ? We were kids, then we grew up. We used to play with toys and now we don't. We used to fear the monster in the closet or under the bed... and then we simply grew out of it. We matured. Well, the rest of the way is just as simple. It's a maturing process. A path along which we're ALWAYS as "enlightened" as we possibly can be at that instant, and our lives immediately reflect that... or, to be more precise, immediately for those of us who learned not to resist the shifts of the heart, and with much kicking and screaming for the other ones ;-)... but in the end, we all get some kind of balance at our new found level of maturity. This whole journey gets so much easier along the way because maturity = wisdom = Love. And Love naturally takes care of itself in every way. Love is all.

The freedom is already existing but the mind that is the instrument this freedom to be realized is conditioned and dysfunctioning. Thus not to do anyhing is not the answer as Bhagavad-Gita says only the wise can remain action less, the rest must do unselfish actions to purify their mind!

Yes indeed liberation is to be free and happy for ever. I see that you have some resistance with this idea! Why? Investigate what is in you that doesn't like to be eternally happy!

Ahhhh Thank you. its great to be reminded of things to help slow down our breath and enter back into a heart center space. Just what I needed, Thank you :)

Adya, you're totally right... but how can we convince the bad guys?

If you get what you want, you don't need it anymore, and not needing leads to happiness :)
