In this inspiring talk, Adyashanti discusses his first visit to a prison—San Quentin—where he meets with men sentenced for life. Their remarkable stories of finding peace and happiness within are compelling examples of what happens when the ego lets go of hope for a better future.
Quotes:
“When you look inside with utmost simplicity and sincerity, what you find is the light of being.”
“Freedom is attained through the realization of what you are, and what you have always been, not what you’ve been taught you are, or what your parents told you are, not even what you told yourself you are.”
“Probably the greatest power that a human being has is to delude themselves.”
