While we have unlocked the potential of a single atom we have yet to unlock the full potential of wise, loving and compassionate action. The responsibility to do so does not belong to someone other than each of us. For it is we who posses capacities of loving and wisdom seldom fully realized or embodied in the world of time and space.
At the core of the spiritual heart lies two paradoxical instincts. One is the upward movement of transcendence and wakening up to reality, while the other is of the power and grace of redeeming love and the experience of unity as it expresses itself in the world of time and space. A full and inclusive spiritual life will take full account of both of these paradoxical spiritual instincts. For in the end we are called to wake up from the over identification with form, as well as to re-embrace and re-embody the grace of our true nature in and as the world of form.
Our world is full of challenges and tragedies, opportunities and unlimited potential. To meet these challenges, both personal and collective, we need to act not from fear, resentment and conflict, but from love and wisdom. We need to experience and embody the power and presence of redemptive love.
Redemptive love is an experience of love, given by grace, that at once redeems, meaning that it restores something or someone to their natural condition of wholeness. Redemptive love also seeks to be embodied in our humanity and challenges each of us to embody its grace in the very depths and actions of our humanity. Redemptive love is a love that is fully committed to being a wise and benevolent presence in the relative world for the benefit of all beings.
Whenever and wherever redemptive love is present and embodied in our lives there is the fire of grace alive and active, and life is experienced as containing great meaning and purpose. The circle of spiritual awakening is completed only by literally re-embodying the spirit of awakened wisdom and love in and as our human life. Thus the redemptive power of love can become embodied and in-formed, and pour itself out upon the world.

Have just followed Adyashanti's 4 week online study course of Redemptive Love. It's really beautiful and insightful and adds something special to all previous years of spiritual and psychological experiences and study. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone reading these comments. Blessings on your journeys 🙏❤
Where can I find it?❤

This man is so effortlessly human. Spiritual too, but that flows just naturally 🌸
I attended a 5 day silent retreat with him in 2017. I’ve never seen anyone who embodied compassion and what he shares in such a profound way.
Having studied with Sasaki roshi for over a thirty year period this discussion of the immensity of having dropped the tightly held personal identity structures into this vast field of “ redemptive love” is like finding a voice that never could quite hear itself...deepest gratitude for helping reveal this outwardly for me!
Human beings are perfect and imperfect all at the same time.
It's our human journey to uncover our own shadows..that which is imperfect within. Love is received not earned, received in grace.
Such soothing words Adyashanti, always fills me with joy and happiness when I hear your message ❤
Adya is the only person who has helped me understand this Grace, this Love. It happened to me in 2000. His words are almost exactly how I understood and described what happened to me. I did nothing. This profound love happened and it was a gift. Thank you Adya.
THIS IS THE CLEANEST EXPRESSION OF BEING TRUE, IM SO DEEPLY MOVED BY THIS TRUTH OF BEING OF ADYASHANTI
Brilliant!! we should all be so fortunate as to have a moment like that
Thank you dear Adya for another magnificent talk. I will remember the hand: the palm and the back of the hand, nirvana and samskara, being both of the same... hand. In yoga, tantra is the journey of inclusion rather than exclusion: this too, this too. So, how do we open our beautiful hearts to what is right here in front of us, seeing what is with the eyes of the heart. It's almost Christmas 2022 and Jesus, the king of redemptive love is about to be born. With immense gratitude for your most generous and illuminating teachings.
By being in the present with Infinite Love and Gratitude 💜
Just to keep listening, as every time there's something that I'm hearing for the first time which I can take along the journey. Thank you Adya!
When I was around ten years old I had a dream one night I was about to cross the street and there was a big grayish cloud above me. A booming voice came out of it and said: YOU!!!
Uplifting to listen to Adya as always.Thank you!
Thank you Adya. There's always more, and it's beuatiful....
So beautiful 🌸❤️ Thank you so much Adyashanti🙏🏻🌞
Beautiful ❤️
Had a similar experience and the way it was articulated was so true to the feeling that I couldn’t grasp before!! Wow!!
Finding the present moment through the heart can make you feel like you can take on any challenge. In pursuit of those challenges it is still important to maintain your health and heart-life will put you through your greatest tests in those moments.

As always, what an incredible teacher! 🙏💛
A wonderful talk. Thank you Adyashanti.
I the the " curiosity " concept at the end / continuance of this cone!!;)
Ohhh ty! The "FREE FROM HARM '" JOKE MADE ME LAUGH SO LOUD
Thank You A truly beautiful message
I loved " thy shall " joke. Ty
3956 the eagle searches for fear. Anything to give yourself reason to protect its own illusion of sufficiency. Mindfully blending being and doing is something it wants to overlook in order to be trying on and on and on to get somewhere other than looking at itself in the mirror.
good video SAND
Words, words. And a whole sentence. Something about gratitude and how this talk impacted me. A comment on theme with the topic and connecting it to another idea. Making a whole paragraph, with a succinct finish.
Thank you
Thanks 🙏♥️
Oh Adya. If only we could all access the state you live in so easily. But it is beyond most of us - without modern technology that is. With it...we have a chance. THAT'S unlocking the power of the mind.
It's not beyond any of us.
choosing what we inherit. . the two impulses are the transcendent and the imminent. distilated into the human form of us. both those dimensions of being are the front and back of our hand. what might it mean , to listen to the heart? what if you had a voice guiding you for every decision. what might it be like right now to see this moment through the eyes of the heart. our personal expeirences reveal the same eternal matter, of being a human being with others equally sharing life and opportunity.
Thankyou
Thank you Adya for pointing out this necesarry and living inquiry. It redempts haering these words about love from you. 💎🔥💛
❤
❤❤❤
Beautiful talk. Thank you
Loved this
I heard that voice. Only once. Thank you
At military bootcamp, identity is annihilated; and, just before what is aware realizes that it is nothing lasting forever, the identity is replaced with other identity. Buddha bootcamp is the same process, only without the replacement of displacement of what is aware with imaginary expression of you - with expression which you aren't even in.
My wish that this will happen to me....
After giving it 20 mins have to say didn’t find it was doing much for me. Much prefer question and answer sessions. Francis Lucille for me.
They're different. I enjoy both
Neti Neti. No teacher, no student, there simply is - what is - already perfect!
I have a question. Is it wrong for me to enjoy training and maintaining a good body but doing spiritual practices at the same time? will the body image stuff hurt me? or can i find a balance between the two, can i enjoy this and perfect this physical body and be on the spiritual path also?
You can do both, but your attachment and identification to the body and the body image must be let go of eventually if you want to be free. Just like any artform or sport. There’s enjoyment there but it also tends to become a part of ones identity. We’ve all seen artists/athletes with huge egos. Just keep doing both, realize that ‘perfecting’ the body won’t make you happy in the future. Realize you are complete now, be filled with joy, and then out of that joy do the activites you love.
I have a bodybuilding background myself. And part of it is a love for the human form, another is the love of being a sculptor, an artist. You just have to be aware of the narcissist in you.
hope that helps
You have a certain duty towards health for your body by being a human. That doesn't contradict spirituality.
As for heavier training? If you can do it knowing you are NOT the body but considering it as part of your Dharma or Path due to situation and particular skills - then of course you can do that and enjoy it, as one would enjoy anything in that way.
God expressing Godself through the body? Sure!
Well, only you yourself can answer this question. Just watch the ego utilizese whatever it strives for in the idle attempted to complete itself.
But out of the two mentioned above , spiritual practice is IMHO the way bigger hindrances to self-realization than doing some innocent pushups. They are just your ordinary everyday delusion that there really is something to achieve. Spiritual practice on the other hand is delusion in a delusion. 😆😅😂😘
You're God you can do whatever you want.
Good question because im in the same boat...i wouldnt think so though
Then I must be in big trouble because I'm 73 and the suffering is beyond anything I've experienced in my life.
So many people with mommy and daddy issues are having these experiences and think it's from some Devine being when is all that's really happening is a coping mechanism.
So you know you're me then.
@@brienmaybe.4415 I don't believe in the spiritual suicide called non-duality
@@SheikhN-bible-syndrome it's too bad you can't esacpe yourself then.
Edit also your phone is spiritual and so is your shit. Do your best to avoid entropy.
@@brienmaybe.4415 why do you think your the same as the cartel guy that kills people?
@@SheikhN-bible-syndrome why do you even think?
Answer: bc it's addicting to you.

He may have felt the collective tension and suffocation in the zen retreat.
Thank you Adya ♥️🙏
If all is empty of intrinsic existence... No free will, no "self" - delusion & maya... A holistic process of becoming from unfathomed mystery...
Love the humour: 'I swallowed a month's worth of contraceptive pills, and it worked! I didn't get pregnant!'
Adya shouldn't prevaricate as much as he does. Smacks of the Barnum Effect.
@Kari L Schratz He's not prevaricating about the ineffable. I do believe he is awakening, but his "pitch" to potential followers is wishy-washy so as not to alienate anyone. Statements like "it can be like xyz, or it can be like abc" or "some will find this, and others will find that" are soft and self-serving. I personally feel this toadying is beneath him.
@@jasonwilkerson9497 lol, have you ever listened to Rupert Spira? Anyone can read what they want to into another's silence.
@@jasonwilkerson9497 I am interested in how you believe the two differ. If you are not in samadhi then you are reading into a silence. How does one "sense" a silence?
Oh my god, who cares
Powerful self enquiry that
This Adyashanti is an unbelievably bad teacher! What is he actually trying to say? How confusing his defocused style of babbling!!
What are you looking to learn?
What he's trying to say is that even though he had a bad experience at a retreat, he can't remember what it was and he was very young so didn't know any better, sooooooooo.......don't think you shouldn't go to his retreats because his retreats are enjoyable and it was only his foolishness that caused him not to enjoy the retreat. If your retreat is bad that's on you. Not him and his wife. People love his ego. He's the spiritual guy you wish you could be just like. Macho, competitive, good looking and yet awakened. It's definitely nothing he says. And I notice other wanna be teachers will sometimes mention some association with him, like maybe they could be standing on the edge of his spotlight. The Brad Pitt of Neo Advaita.
@@garypuckettmuse any guru is stealing your own watch and selling it to you because the you and the guru are the same Self. Now pee pee poo poi stick your head in Doo Doo
Yep, he says that too. Not that "doo doo" part. That is insinuated when you pay-Pal.
@@garypuckettmuse have you met him? I did a weekend retreat with him once, and just being in his presence was very powerful. I can’t remember what was discussed, but I don’t rate spiritual teachers so much based on that. But if their presence brings me into a still space, with no effort on my part - I do rate that highly. You can’t bullshit with that. Same with meting Eckhart Tolle - the stillness around him was palpable
