My Secret is Silence

Wisdom without love

Adyashanti | October 2016 (Vol. XXIX, No. 9)

Wisdom without love is like having lungs
but no air to breathe. Do not seek wisdom in order
to acquire knowledge but in order to
live and love more fully.

~ from MY SECRET IS SILENCE: Poetry and Sayings of Adyashanti

Already on fire

Adyashanti | December 2015 (Vol. XXVIII, No. 11)

Everything is a spark of that eternal radiance.
Why flee from the world in order to find it
when you yourself are already on fire?

~ from MY SECRET IS SILENCE by Adyashanti

She does not talk back

Adyashanti | November 2012 (Vol. XXV, No. 10)

The waves of mind
demand so much of Silence.
But She does not talk back
does not give answers nor arguments.
She is the hidden author of every thought
every feeling
every moment.
Silence.
She speaks only one word.
And that word is this very existence.
