In this lesson on impermanence, Adya explains how our attempts to achieve freedom or well-being can bring us frustration, whether it’s through material or spiritual means—chasing freedom always evades freedom.
Excerpted from August 18, 2013, Palo Alto Meeting, “Living without Resistance.”
Quote from this Video: “This extraordinarily creative, almost miraculous aspect of impermanence is that life is coming into and going out of being moment to moment, instant to instant, quite miraculously. But if we’re holding on to it, we don’t see that it’s miraculous, and we don’t see the freedom in the movement of it.”
