Very well explained, I'd say it's spot on! I also remember that 'morning', standing in front of my coffee machine and finding no recognizable 'me', there was nothing. Game changer. It's the pathless destination. You cannot grasp the tao (way), it will slip through your fingers. That which we are cannot be described by word or captured by concept, our true nature is beyond mind. The limited mind can never access it, that's why the parallel teaching across Taoism, Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta, etc., is to learn to quiet the mind. Once experienced, like Maharshi has said, the questions will be dissolved. Just like the stick that stirs the fire all night, eventually it will be tossed into the fire and comsumed as well :) This is an ACCURATE, honest and direct video, 100%. Listen closely, listen to the spaces between the words, for if not for the spaces, the words wouldn't be discernable :)
Dearest Ardya, I can’t thank you enough for your amazing teachings. However, on this point of “oh my God, it’s too late ( it’s happened to me), my experience has been quite different. I honestly feel like I’ve been drawn in this ( Spiritual) direction since I was a little girl. And now I’m so glad that that was my experience! I feel as though the Universe has been very gentle with me, in spite of many difficult periods throughout my life. I love listening to you, and I always feel that I have had some sort realignment, and seeing things from a different viewpoint. I am filled with Gratitude for my roadway throughout life! Blessed be beautiful Soul 🌹
yes it is lovely and it's upsetting all at the same time. Well, not that upsetting because I'm fortunate enough to still have most of my family and friends with me (alive) and I can at least enjoy being with them for as long as I can! But for those who have died, and for all of those past times..it's true -I can't go back. Whatever was done and said, is all there will ever be (in this life time anyway).. sigh
A profound ending to that speech. Awakening is not about ending suffering, suffering is there to make us aware of the issues that really concern the soul, it is there to grab our attention and see the bigger picture, only if you can grow above the monkey mind, general concerns and general uncosciousness is when you mature enough to really see what the whole point is, and you don't really need to do anything, the situations and events that need to happen will come of themselves in your life. We don't create righteousness with our ego mind - that's just another self-gratification trip, you simply let yourself sink into it, and everything falls into place, then the great ones appear and talk out of their inner experience, not some book knoweledge or fancy concepts that they merely vaguely understand in logical terms.
"Your head is caught in the tiger's mouth" ... probably the best way to put it. Hadn't heard that before. Does give the right meaning to "fear of god".
It was so depressing. I dont get why we even have the mind, ego, to begin with. Feels like a cruel game, unless im missing some additional info in this
Additional info! - 1. Life endows you with the ability to create your own meaning! 2. Awareness is like the screen in the movie theater, empty fully receptive, the mind is the artist ... Paint whatever picture you like! 3. Throw off ALL authority, the answer you seek is within you it is not external to you. Hehe, hope that helps :) Have fun out there ;)
I know, it sucks. But it seems mind has to be cruelly and relentlessly disappointed until one day it is forced to give up. Or something wider is forced into being. Or it just dies. Out of sheer exhaustion. Nothing else can shift it. We cling on to it at all costs. That's why it has to be utterly devastated. The annoying thing is that it IS us. And why would we want to give ourselves up? That would feel like suicide. It feels like suicide either way for me. Which is intolerable actually. But at least now I know there is a third option. Mind will die when it can take no more. When it finally, clearly sees it is creating all its own suffering, maybe it will stop.
A bit surprised he said if he had the choice he’d go the other way…I mean, doesn’t sound like a space to strive for. I’d think worldly life isn’t what he’d even desire at this point.
Oh, thank you Adya! I have been thinking maybe I should try to teach this shit to others. This losing of all self identity. Realizing no self. Complete and total liberation from the world of humans. At least from the unconscious ones. 99% of the planet. But, F that. I'll probably be one of those vagabonds walking around barefoot...smiling. Y'all can just figure it out on your own. Lol. ✌😎
@@lukehamilton3518 And d'you know what..., 8 months later and 2 or 3 years of 'process' into it, the biggest and most profound change/difference is that thought and emotion no longer have any control over my life. That's it, that's the crux of this whole enlightenment business. The difference between heaven and hell. Everything else seems to be business as usuall. Right back where I started except now I LOVE life rather than hate it. 💖🙏💖
Haha yep he's really got it! Because of course 😜 ....there's nothing to get. Edit: or is that a concept in itself?...oh dear. Gotta keep on keeping on I guess.....😂 You arrive at an idea, and then you'r always reminded to throw it out....
Where is you heart Adyashanti - preaching it in your teachings and making child into man abuser after cutting motherhood. And stealing intellect, femininity and health snd soul to Canadian Chinese mothers? Mukti not having courage to stand in light of truth and justice for what she did to me and my child
Am always so profoundly grateful to Adya for his gift, and, for telling it like it is! I offer love and gratitude for you Adya!
As Chogyam Trungpa describes enlightenment state to be the final disappointment.
lol that's pretty funny hahahaha! Wise words. So funny and tragic. Life, the ultimate tragicomedy. The essential biodoc. The existential romance.
Maybe disappointment from an egoic perspective
lol Damn you all enlightened people, scare me all you want, I am still gonna get there.
@@shubhammittal9764 lol
Hahaha love the honest humor of the great teachers

Total surrender.Comes with grace of god.Respect for parents.
So True. Can Never Go Back Thank God 🙏💜🙏
Aaaah, ich fühle mich so auf den Schlipps getreten :D Danke Adya! :)
It's terrifying and I'm grateful. ❤️
This is sobering and beautiful.
Indeed Brother
So good to hear this spoken about. Thank you ❤️

Yes but it's all perfect.
Even the fiddly bits ❤️
I know that's hard to get our heads round 😅

Beautiful!
What is the name of the talk this was excerpted from? I'd like to listen to the whole thing. Thank you for posting.
Love you, Adya. Yes. Thank you.
So true. Sometimes it's confusing. Thank you
I'd like to listen to the whole talk this is taken from.... Can you direct me where i can find it? Thanks
Check with the Open Sanga, Adyas organization. Most of his talks are possible to buy. Generally it is well worth it.
I'd like to know the talk this came from too. Want to listen to the whole thing.
yes indeed!

You want to surprise yourself.. That's y

To explore, to play, to be awed and to be found.
112417...day after thanksgiving..this is very sobering!!
You touch my heart
When I feel really really terrible, like suicidal, adya’s voice is the only thing that keeps me going
When you are old enough…….you just don’t care whatsoever.🙏🌈
grief more than fear...
This is how I’m feeling right now, and I’m grateful for your wisdom!
Pretty funny talk. Laugh out loud funny
Right!

It is just that the ego would never give up its felt sense of control
👍
🐅 mouth. Thank you, I feel less crazy 🙏
Anyone see an elephants head?
Yes😊
Now i do
The kicker is you have never existed....☯️🕉❤️🙏🏼

Haha! Sounds like you'r going with the flow to me. Great stuff man 👍

One mental potential energy periodically become conscious and start dreaming this imaginary existence and I am that.forget everything else.
Beautifully put ❤️

Total and absolute surrender is inevitable.
False "spirituality" with a small "s" reminds me of a Jimi Hendrix lyric "so castles made of sand slips into the sea eventually
Lots of claw marks 😅
"oh and you still think that this is about you and what you want. I'm sorry.....
Funny guy.
bingo
Haha yep he's really got it!
Because of course 😜 ....there's nothing to get.
Edit: or is that a concept in itself?...oh dear. Gotta keep on keeping on I guess.....😂
You arrive at an idea, and then you'r always reminded to throw it out....
For a talk on Spirituality this contains rather a lot of frivolous uses of the word God.
All uses of the word ‘God’ are frivolous
@@Dirtbiker463 such a good reply lol

Sorry what happened?
This sounds like a serious but still incomphrehensible allegation. What happened?
