Pearls from My Teacher

Adya tells the moving story of a recent visit with his root teacher, Arvis Justi, and recounts precious teachings that he’s learned from her. He also shares of the paradoxical relationship between nonduality and duality, and about the enlightenment drive. He discusses the source of that drive, challenges to heeding it, and the necessity of being able to walk in a world of dualities after encountering the absolute.

Topics Include:

• The Koans of Our Lives
• Egos Do What Egos Do
• Reconnecting Ego to Its Source
• Living What Is Realized

Quotes:

“She made it very clear to me, to everyone, that the truth is within us—that she wasn’t going to give it to us. She could help us along the way, that’s what a teacher’s for, but she was so clear that this is you—nobody can give you your true nature because you already have it—you already possess it.”

“The ultimate nature of things is nonconceptual. It’s deeper than the concept.”
