Adyashanti: Q&A-how do you recognize THAT?...the most simple and direct, the better...

**excerpted from The Simplest Thing (Classic Talk, 2008): adyashanti.opengatesangha.org...
"...Spirituality is all about realizing what you are...How you'll approach that-the most simple and direct, the better. So I throw things out different at different times, right? To see what resonates for you, what do you get a feel for, you know, like tonight I say just live in the sense of awareness. That's it. That's how..."
"...There's many things you've heard me toss out all over the years. You can do spiritual inquiry. 'What am I?' Pause. Mind doesn't know the answer. Live in the pause..."
"So there's no formula necessarily...what I'm saying is the formula isn't in some really strict prescribed thing..."
"When you feel extraordinarily close, that's the time to do something that's totally counterintuitive...Just relax...let it come...enough faith just to let go. Faith or desperation, either will do..."

About this talk:
Adyashanti points out that the hardest thing in spirituality is to stay with the simplest thing. Complexity is only created by the mind. When we dwell in our own innate consciousness with one-pointed intention, we find extraordinary inner depth. This warm and humorous talk includes dialogues about spiritual cul-de-sacs, the loss of meaning and passion, and transforming our relationship with the thinking mind.
