Adyashanti - Being Alone
Are you ready to lose your world? Because true awakening will not fit into the world as you imagine it or the self you imagine yourself to be. Reality is not something that you integrate into your personal view of things. Reality is life without your distorting stories, ideas, and beliefs. It is perfect unity free of all reference points, with nowhere to stand and nothing to grab hold of. It has never been spoken, never been written, never been imagined. It is not hidden, but in plain view. Cease to cherish opinions and it stands before your very eyes.

You must have listened to a lot of his teachings to have such a jaded opinion of him? I feel simular about Krishamurti, but I dont write of Adya so quickly. Every Guru is only as useful as our egos allow. There like fires. Stand too close you get burnt, too far away and you wont get enough warmth. Just my 2 cents
ReplyDeleteTrue enough.
ReplyDeleteMalcolm, if you could make a judgment about him like that, you don't get it anyways...
ReplyDeleteGet What? Have you taken a vow of silence? Can you at least explain Daniel and anon what I am not getting? The Buddha said he did not teach with a closed fist, try and explain your point so we might all learn something.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I meant Ronald and Anon. My apologies to both gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteThe Buddha taught Right Understanding. Testing the claims of others against our own experience. I did this with Adyashanti and came to my own conclusions. He is not infallible - beyond doubt, scrutiny, judgement or criticism. I would love to hear your point of view Ronald.

ReplyDeleteMalcolm if you truly listened to enough of Adya's material you would have heard him make this statement over and over. Every criticism you've made of him he addresses over and over...You've either not listened or cherry picked to reinforce your preconceived notions. So typical. I do this myself. Like seems to attract like. Welcome to the party.
