"There is a difference between seeing that there's no me and absolutely realizing that there's no me...seeing what you're not is one thing and a vital thing and that is what you can do...realizing what you are is quite different...what has to really be let go of is you're just following-this is like pointing out instructions-you follow them. If you're so inclined, like scientific experiments you do them and you find the result, and you just dwell where they take you...
When you stop right in the middle of that and don't try to find any other way, only then can something else open up. That's what all this investigation does...Discriminating wisdom gets you to the end of discriminating wisdom. And from there something else must come, but it can't come from discriminating wisdom anymore..."

About the talk:
In this open and expansive talk, Adya discusses the pre-battle scene in the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Hindu epic. The story is about the willingness to face our most sacred beliefs and let go of them. Adya shares the moment in his own life when the willingness to question everything reoriented his entire spiritual quest. "People wake up when they're willing to see the Truth more than they want to assert illusion." (Recorded on April 18, 2007 in Palo Alto, California.)
