Wisdom of Do Nothing / Adyashanti

"How can you meditate in a way that is authentic and useful in terms of awakening to your true nature? In this powerful satsang, Adyashanti explains in detail how the simple instruction to "do nothing" disengages the movement of ego, gives rise to the natural clarity of awareness, and brings us to the very heart of love and compassion. Recorded on March 15, 2006"(Description from Adya's website about the DVD)

"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

this guy must be so high and rich in energy or vibration , look at the fuzzy glow around him :)

[ZenMaster2010EE]

@trappedsoul7 Same, he has a way of speaking the truth with much comedy too.

[zakkah93]

I think I want to be aware of doing a lot and have fun instead of being aware of me doing nothing.

@hawstom i masturbated. life is survival of the fittest. what this "adyashanti" is doing is no different. his ego must be feeling pretty good to be attracting people to him.

[avedic]

@trappedsoul7 totally. He seems so genuine and real. Too many spiritual teachers are lost in their own world. Adya seems way more down to earth and just...nice. If you like this guy, you'll love Tim Freke! Look him up...seriously. Very similar message. And a really nice guy. Alan Watts is similar..though more famous. He died in 1970s but is still totally timely today.

@1111BLAKE1111 That might sound absurd...but try it. Really. See how long you last before you get WHY he said that...

[avedic]

@stephaniewilson100 lol...he's bending space time around his head...

[hawstom]

@1111BLAKE1111 Yes. Do nothing until the right action arises from the nothingness. When it's time to get a drink, you will get a drink.

[1111BLAKE1111]

ok ill just sit in a room for the rest of my life and do nothing.lets see how that works out. gee if idont do anything well then i guess i cant eat or drink water. then if i do that i should be dead within a week. hmmm sound like a good plan. whaddya all think?

[4theloveofgrace]

Larsnelson...so spinning your wheels..into the earth without awareness till your human body wears out then getting absorbed again is a better use of time? That's all your doing

[NayNay7771]
