Adyashanti on Living in the Service of Truth

June 18, 2019 Leave a Comment

https://www.oneyoufeed.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Adyashanti-Full-1.jpg

Adyashanti is an American born spiritual teacher devoted to serving the awakening of all beings. His teachings are an open invitation to stop, inquire, and recognize what is true and liberating at the core of all existence. Adyashanti also runs the Omega retreat which Eric has taken part in many times. In this episode, Eric and Adya talk about his latest book, The Most Important Thing: Discovering Truth at the Heart of Life.

In This Interview, Adyashanti and I Discuss…

  • His book, The Most Important Thing: Discovering Truth at the Heart of Life
  • Attention and Intention
  • The inquiry at any given time: Where are we giving our attention to?
  • Considering the question: What is worthwhile orienting your life around?
  • The limitations that come with aging 
  • How the definition of happiness changes as we age
  • Wholeness of being
  • Life as it is rather than the image of life
  • Two interpretations of the fact that sometimes those who are the most unhappy tend to be seeking happiness the most
  • Shooting for meaning rather than happiness
  • How meaning is an experience of being
  • The inquiry: What am I in service to?
  • That we don’t seem to do well as human beings when we live exclusively for ourselves
  • What does it mean to really serve what you realize (rather than trying to realize more and more)
  • The mistaken thinking that an act of service must be grand in scale or scope or must be visible to really count or matter
  • How it’s easy to be noble when you are noticed but in most of our lives that’s not what’s taking place
  • That giving time and attention when someone needs it can make for transformative moments
  • Seeing the importance of the things you do in your life now that are in service
  • That you can’t make yourself awaken but what you do DOES have an impact – it’s just indirect
  • The yearning itself comes from the very thing we’re yearning for (in terms of awakening)
