- "Awakening invites us to live outside the context of the mind and to experience an entirely new way of being. But accepting this invitation can be disorienting. We're as likely to commit a great act of stupidity as we are to fall into the extraordinary simplicity of truth. In this satsang Adyashanti offers advice and insight for those beginning to explore the awakened life. Recorded(full dvd) on August 20, 2005" -- www.adyashanti.org
"If you filter my words through any tradition or '-ism', you will miss altogether what I am saying. THE LIBERATING TRUTH IS NOT STATIC; IT IS ALIVE. It cannot be put into concepts and be understood by the mind. The truth lies beyond all forms of conceptual fundamentalism. What you are is the beyond-awake and present, here and now already. I am simply helping you to realize that." -- Adyashanti
www.adyashanti.... (Adya's free "Teachings" web page with samples of audio, video, and writings)
Adyashanti's nondual teachings have been compared to those of the early Zen masters and Advaita Vedanta sages. Expressing both the infinite possibilities and the ordinary simplicity of a spiritually realized life, Adyashanti's teachings are directed to those who are sincerely called to awaken to their true nature and embody this life-changing realization.
I love especially these older teachings of Adya
The best compilation of Adyashanti's core teaching. Thank you Todd Davis!
You are very welcome. In 2006, Adyashanti's nonprofit organization had these dozen videos to download and watch for free on their website. TH-cam was very new. So new, that there were no ads and all videos were limited to 10 minutes or less. I emailed the nonprofit and asked if it would be ok if I posted these videos on TH-cam. I never received a response. But, I intuited that it would be ok. So, I did and 100's of thousands of very appreciative people were introduced to Adya for the first time. Back then there weren't many spiritual teachers or teachings on TH-cam. About 8 months later Adya's nonprofit began the process of sharing on this site all of his free videos that they have on their website and more. If you haven't already, check out the library section of his website for free video, audio and writings. Good stuff!
Enlightenment is inevitable but the key difference is realising yourself as God right here right now not when you die and god takes over.
Beautiful. Thank you for these gifts. With every Adyashanti video clip and each of his DVDs, I feel more peace, more comfort, more connected, and more in touch with my wholeness and the oneness of all.
I was actually turned on to all these ideas by Eckhart's books. I was raised Catholic, became born again in highschool, and rejected all religion in college. Now, at 28, I'm starting to see what that whole journey was for. While I love The Power of Now and A New Earth...I'm not that into Eckhart's speaking style. It's so....detached. That's why I'm thrilled to stumble upon this guy. Him and Tim Freke engage this material in a much more...alive manner. If you like this guy, look up Tim Freke. :)
Thank you. That's exactly what I needed to hear... not to resist the resistance... let it fall away. Don't DO the falling away, but allow it, as there is no doer in actuality
150k views and only 28 dislikes. the world is awakening.
This guy is more mind than transmission. Spiritual Transmission is super sensitive to bliss. No egos present. I as an ego can trot out the same shit.
this guy knows more about you than you know yourself
Do you want to hear lots more Adyashanti for free? Click the "(more)" button in the description section in the right-top hand corner of this page and you will see different links in blue. I personally enjoy the cd's that I have made from downloading these audio samples. Enjoy...
Adyashanti contrasts human beings with the 'natural world' like oak trees and flowers. As though human beings were not part of the natural world!
He's also gone into more detail about death than that. He says that from his perspective, death is just another experience, although he also added that when the personality drops away, opportunities present themselves (as in the Tibetan teachings).
He's the real thing, IMO. I've never heard any crap or scandals, etc. about him and I've found he has a lot to offer - and I'm skeptical of a lot of these people myself. But there are authentic teachers out there, and my own has helped me a great deal on my path, including with my complex mental issues that have required a lot of skill and patience to work through.
Wonderful old vintage wine in a new bottle! Thanks!
Thank you! That feels so good, it makes me breeth deeply and freely
vis 'laughing about it' (5:10):
i am still (seriously) waiting for one of those 'awakened' teachers to drop the dessicated format of satsang & try to transpose the wisdom they have to offer into the format of 'enlightenment Comedy'.
the moment of 'getting' the joke has the same dynamic as the moment that triggers awakening.
even if the mindsets of comedian & awakened person were not bridgeable, it should be possible for such a partnership to co-create sublime lightbulb moments of realization.
The more I explore that which is outside of the mind, the more I appreciate the joy, rather than just the suffering that it brings. Playing around with all the subtleties and extremities of duality can be truly fun if not connected to identity :)
I've been on the most amazing 2 year journey of my life, i could go on and on about where it started and how it ended but it really dosent matter. The greatest tip anyone could ever get to awaken is the corner stone of all of Adyashanti's work. You are already awakened. It existed in your silance, all you have to do is swim and play the emptiness of no thought. It is not a goal that needs to be attanined, anytime anywhere it existes in the hum of silence. Yu are the silence.
Shortly after writing this my Mind (Ego) felt superior for building links. After letting the feeling immedately go, i suddely thought that it was its right to do this, because it has done a good job. After surrendering this thought (illusion of justice) i needed to stop thinking. It literaly clings on everything to substain itself.
I am feeling so good that I am loving existence, I know my body will eventually die but I am enjoying my physical existence like I never did before.
"when mind no longer has its hands full of concepts..because you can see that they are no longer relevant.".to the very point,sir to the verite of cause,bravo!
This whole thing makes much more sense now.
After crying the realisation that everything is ok started to settle in. I gave everybody else the permission to do what they want. Suddenly i felt that i can do what i want. Everything would be ok. Then it hit me: What if the ego is not inside you, but every person outside is an aspect of it? The more i think about it the less struggles are in my head. This also fits with my experience i confessed at the "Wisdom of Do Nothing / Adyashanti" Video here.
i was in a bad mood the other day and some guy just gave me such a wonderful smile! And it really lifted my spirits.
there is one that i like.............
it appears that the cloud has died after the rain.......but its only transformed.......death is a transformation......by Thich Nhat Hanh
Thank you for pointing out that i can know nothing for sure. I really needed that. At the moment im totaly thorn apart. One part of me wants to go back to the experience i had in the awakening(?) so badly, one part fears what will happen then, another part denies that experience and one part tries to make sense of all of this. Im so glad people like you and adya give me the faith that everything is ok and will be ok. now im crying...
Hypnotic, peaceful.
Wow my mind is totaly free of conflicts right now. Without the need to stop thinking. If i accept everybody and everything else as he/it is, with what will it be in conflict with? Allso the search for meaning has stopped. But the shift to enlightment did not happen yet. Maybe there are more lessons to learn.
Thank you very much other me, though i dont take the worry in me.
yes. those things are caused by misunderstanding, which is to say, a dualistic state of consciousness that says "I am more important than you, and your suffering is less real than mine". All that's really needed to be free from sin is to see that others are the same as you, and ultimately that they are you and we are all One.
Thank you adya
thanks for this simple truth.
Beautiful.....🙏
thank you!

Beyond authentic...
if you feel good about yourself its easy to feel bad about yourself! Good one. I am totally caught up in that.
We all are the less fortunate...until we see the cycle of desire end.
Yeah that's a hard one to swallow and difficult to get around. But for me something suddenly changed about 9 months ago, no mystical experienace no overwelming bliss or happiness just such a profound change in what is happening around me that i know i will never be the same. so profound that i can apply this new "veiwing/understanding" to anything and it is instantly seen through. And i can also see why Ramana chose not to talk. Nothing but my perspective has changed, and yet i'm alive again
we are love... we are love... we are love... i am love
I like Rumi. Another good one...Alan Watts. One of my favorite speakers on this subject.
my pleasure, all is of the one love
we are all of the one love, we are each an individual and unique facet of the one love
this love is our birthright
amazing things happen when we allow love into our beings
peace 2 u
Thank you Adya!
It's great he looks like an army General in that shirt 👍 imagine heads of armies perceiving this way?
(Yes Im talking of spiritual teachers here) and then after that you say wait f*ck me for not seeing this. This sees at times really deep and insightful and at times is lost in the background in my everyday life but the crack allows me to see through what we are all taught to see first.
That's nice. Would you like to expound on this profundity?
Thanks for this speech.
@karasulas I know he has spent a lot of time with Zen Buddhism, but he talks from his own experience. I know what you're saying, but the distinction I'm making here is that he doesn't relay a set of stories written by other people under a particular heading, he talks about his own direct perception of the truth of reality.
we are the one . . . what a cop out! lego my ego adya
Its interesting how we can judge what we are scared of. A strategy of aversion perhaps?

You cannot enslave a mind that knows itself.....by Wangari Maathai
I believe he mentioned god to make it relelvent to western thought. Often westerners get confused when studying Buddhism because they are raised believing in God. Confusion is very bad for learning Buddhism, if you are adapting such teachings to your own understandings you will realize the truth in any way.
ugh. I can see reality. Seeing things with no judgement or mental projection whatsoever. Nature is so still! But my ego is still here. Now that i have a taste of reality, when i get really upset or angry, i see how far away im straying from it. I want to live in reality so bad, but how can i literally live in it? What is there to do in reality? How can i create relationships with people who are still "dreaming" My parents are so negative with thick egos.Seems its truth vs parental acceptance.
I am in such perfect state I feel like I will live forever not in special sense I mean litraly living forever.
Thank you Adiashanti!
so weird that spelling just changed the meaning of his name - It now means primordial disturbance
I rally like this guy I listen to him whenever I can.May be he is enlightened?I don't know. He criticized cosmetic surgery.If physical life was such a bad thing,it wouldn't be given to us by our creator. what ever we want to do to our body is our personal choice and making fun of those people who do it is basically called "passing judgment"; that really contradict the concept of enlightenment.
have you heard of the pain body...........eckhart tolle explains it very well.
i sense that thats the source of your concerns.
look it up
through that smile it was like the guy was saying to me 'You're just fine'.
I'll be waiting
Never write your future off, you cannot see round the corner.
hey people im new to this and need some help i feel like i have awakened ..at least that is what my mind is telling me. but does becoming more enlightened mean i find it more difficult to function in the "real world" i have responsabilities etc
You shouldn't ask why. Everything has a reason. Find out for yourself. You can do it.
@cspace1234nz
This is the perfect comment, when people are fed up with the term enlightenment and everything it represents your left with only one direction to travel. Test it, practice it, question it, only then will realization come. It's unreal that we "humans" think we are something intelligent that grew out of an unintelligent universe. Be brutally honest with yourself and beleive noth but your experience. once you can't describe something away you are forced to "experiance" it.
Luv
Asto, Adyashanti is not a religion nor a cult. Hes not a teacher either. Hes a person like you and me offering his view on reality.That is all.
@BenjaminSmythe very nice. no damage done to the message but well taken. : )
@mickeyfinn80 -- personallly I would say --no. I am not a disciple of Zen Buhddism -- so I cannot speak to that school but in our practice of "mukti" or awakening -- it does not mean that there is any other world to go to or any reason that the actual present world should be difficult. Quite to the contrary. What DOES happen in our practice though, is that when this is happening there can be some unconcious resistance to it. Things come up when they are free. It's not always pretty. Namaste.
you are on to something solid. to demonstrate to anyone how editing by the brain works..
make a drawing from a 2d picture .......lets say of a man sitting in a chair, but keep it upside down....finish the drawing. then draw the same picture right side up. see the difference. you will be surprized.
i discovered this from a book by betty edwards on how to draw.
My directions weren't as good as I thought they were. The description box for THIS video is to the immediate right of the video that is playing. It has the "date added", "subscribe to", and then below that is the "(more)" button. Much love.
I am tired of my grasping mind looking for teachings. When Adya said that your mind will not be able to understand it, I think that the chase is futile !
Interesting thumbnail picture. Ayda has a powerful MPEG aura.
@WeNeedA3rdParty You serve others immensely when you realize yourself. It helps them to realize themselves. But it's a taboo!!
Fuck, it feels like the other half of my puzzle has been found, i have a lot in common with this guy.
No, you misunderstood me. I just think that there is constructive (realistic) hope and illusional, irrational (unrealistic) hope. The first is fine and good, the second is self-defying as it never will come true and therefore will make you feel powerless (sooner or later), pitiful and desperate. If Adya really wanted people to look at "the bigger picture" he would encourage them to take responsibility for themselves (and also each other) instead of telling them to be oblivious about everything.
why dont any other gurus talk as clear as him, why am i only watching him now
gurus = religion, ideology. this guys pretty idealess
yeah actually but other gurus have helped me as well. i consider adyashanti a guru
ultimatey ive learned not to put my eggs in one basket. what works for some might not work for others so, ye
lili ॐ How about GANGJI?
.She is pretty clear
dk never watched her, it was more just an expression of the moment i have learnt things from many teachers :)
The point is that you don't fix these problems by making peace with yourself through a religion and keep on living like you do. It's no surprise that mainly middle-class women are drawn to eastern religions and their concept of "spirituality". They don't show the audience here but I am quite sure that over 90% of them are said middle-class people that live their hypocritical lives and look for ways to even out what you might call their "unbalanced state of conciousness". This stuff offers them.
thanks. I like you too but i dont knwo if im ready to love again.
Why is tag for this video "Anthony de Mello"?
LOL... not enlightened in the spiritual sense but i defintily have an enlighted view now in that all i have labled my entire life has been taught to me and is generally excepted "by society" as true. (For me) when a tree was no longer leafs, branches, roots, & bark and was now left to be the experience of that which we call a tree (as a whole unit). I see Ady trying to convay this & i even see when he gets caught in dead end trying to explain it.
A lot of people do it indefinitely ? Don't they
whats uore take on tao
please in spanish !!!!!
it's a REAL petition !!!
@BenjaminSmythe supernovas botox poetry pronoun -- you made my day man. : )
@SirCosmoBonsor This guy speaks his own direct experience, not a religion.
Which meditations does Adyashanti do ? Zazen ?
optizap I think he used to do zazen.
'Resisting and fighting the problem' hasn't really taken mankind anywhere past the petty squabbles of yore though has it?
We have technology and improved medicine (complexity), but there hasn't been any headway made with the way we relate to each other. The last century was worse than ever.
Also, if we take the term 'problems' as just something that's a psychological problem, then more thinking won't get anyone anywhere.
Yes, you find hope in ignorance. But it's just an illusion of hope, a hollow hope because it will never actually come true if you don't take actions to make it true.
In this universe nothing happens outside of a causal event chain. There are no miracles, no wonders. Just by putting your head into the sand, nothing will ever change the way you like. Instead others change the world around you and most likely to your disadvantage. That's the sad truth; the only truth you really have to accept.
fruit takes a long time to ripen, but it falls suddenly
@cspace1234nz
Suddenly I knew what Ady was trying to say. It's like trying to explain the colour green to a blind man, you can't use other things because he hasn't seen those either. Alan Watts once had a 2 hour conversation with a blind woman about darkness, she had no idea what it was because she had never seen light... for me it was the imperfections in language that made something crack in my head. Its imperfections made me see it had been manufactured and thus flawed and Insufficient
Truth is subjective
Eh, no.
Yes, and?
No no
Was caught in delusion my bad
I'm fucked
I just need to finally accept that
Hi todd
@BenjaminSmythe i am is just i am. No one wakes re, awaking to see the universe as it is .3No free will, no agent, no choice, re who has tough you dumb stuff. re No one can realize the truth of their being...... speak for your self .re No one has a mind. No one has a thought.... who told you this re Inevitable................ have you seen the future but you said nothing of love . if i can not wake you. may you find love and peace in your dream ,
If anyone is awakened and has any tips for me please write to me.. (just respond to this post) thanks.
There is only one thing.
@BenjaminSmythe Oh wow.. its just like nothing is actually happening anymore... consciousness is just randomly playing haha life is so random now
what in fucks-sake do i do when i reach that stage???
@TheObiTwice if i can not wake you. may you find love and peace in your dream , hate and love comes from the same place . your hate bonds you to Adyashanti Welcome To Reality your feeling hurt you . really hurt your self .by looking at Adyashanti. then you cried about Adyashanti . more then like you miss understood or you and did not like it .you have pain in side and hurt and you bonded to it and keep it why ?
"Beyond The Veils .Veils are nothing more then beliefs and beliefs system . at the end of day beliefs not true not one of them . but what is true is always true . there are no true beliefs . a Veils is judging . the number one Veils is the knowledges of good and evil .
A mind cant understand how the Divine moves

i love u
How's about, let's meet the individual as an individual. Like, do you enjoy being lumped together with some group and being stereotyped:"Those guys are always doing....."
he who is getting depressed is not you...find that and you are free...if you recognize the true power...other people looks and hate does not affect your true self
