Such compassion for this person; his desire is earnest. He's just trying to figure it out. This process is nothing if not an exercise in coming into humility.
@dovrubin8481
I give the guy in the audience a lot of credit. He was scared but he persisted. He allowed himself to be vulnerable, and between the two of them, they teased out some beautiful, mysterious truths.
@Kittylove119
I appreciate his honesty and willingness to heal. It takes courage to stand up and ask questions. And what better teacher to ask than Adya?! We are all just doing our best.❤️
@JMT34237
For a long time I made things much more complicated then they needed to be. I am so grateful for the many teachers that have shown me that the Truth is right here. In plain sight. Experientially. Its not lost in spiritual word play. Those words are just more concepts. Just be here. With what is. The unfolding of it all.
@eldonscott9
To see Adya's full attention with this person, is there any doubt that he is listening. To be seen and heard with such aliveness and honesty, I don't know if I've ever been seen by another person like that in my life. This is our teaching and wow.
@wonderwoman4597
I loved loved loved Adya's eyes inviting him into Reality ❤ One Love
@austinalexander238
It’s like looking into the eyes of a man who is where you want to be, who also knows that you’re where you need to be, and looks forward to seeing you realize that. I sometimes think about what I would ask him in person, but when a question comes up, it’s answered. Feels like he doesn’t give answers, as much as tools,to find your own answers .. or accept where you are without them. Thank you!
@kanejordan89
Ahhh the thoughts this guy had are just so spot on to my own insecurities about enlightenment. It always helps to just be humbled, in that humbling comes such a comfort.
@karinaluz1986
The best thing I get from this "conversation" is the attitude of Adyashanti. So patient and humble.
@dilyanstoev9086
to the people calling this person ignorant or unconscious: i would suggest pointing your attention to within to examine whether that judgement comes from an unconscious place itself. i also felt embarrassed for a moment while watching this but looking at the embarrassment made it seem like it's just shrinking away from an experience that doesn't live up to my expectations, be it of language, demeanor or any other attribute, and that made the embarrassment evaporate. after that the guy seemed charming and genuine to me
@erikljungberg1056
There's no time to fuck around. Adya puts the student in his place right away. Once they've established the status of his awakening, they can proceed from a more authentic place. What a beautiful exchange. Adya is a great teacher.

What an incredible way to learn how my ego is protecting from my immaturity by judging
@adventuresofstitches
To judge is to reveal a part of you that is not healed. We are all growing and learning and in this moment in time this man was given some words that will help him along his spiritual path. This video is also teaching us about something within ourselves. Maybe some are feeling the same way as this man, maybe some judge him. To judge him is to judge yourself. Looking within and knowing we are all one, yet we are suffering from neurotic thoughts of the ego. To judge is the ego and it’s thoughts. Unity is seeing everything and everyone as a whole. Our ego tries to claim it and make sense of it but it’s not something you can really put into words or define. It is unconditioned. 🙏❤️
@keithganzmusic
This is so rich. What a treasure that this happened to be recorded. Takes me right back to the experience of being there observing him answer questions like this nearly 20 years ago and my whole sense of reality just falling open, wide eyed with wonder. Just what I needed today. 🙏
@marcus00077
Wow. The way you handle ignorance is unreal. Fantastically compassionate.
@somedude1566
Make no mistake, this dialogue is nothing but grace. I've been this guy when I met my teacher (not Adya) face to face for the first time.
@zachwenzel5316
So many judgmental comments void of compassion here. 😔 My heart hurts for him as it has and does for myself. I've been where this guy is in this video, during my first experience of the absolute. In the first moments, I was in a tug of war between the absolute and my mind trying to make sense and articulate all that it meant and would change, to my friends who were far more advanced than I was in the moment. This guy at one point did KNOW and experienced the absolute. It's because of that experience, he feels comfortable having friendly banter and saying "I forgive you", "you should try it sometime". He's literally shaking up there, very nervous, self-conscious, and practically in tears because he knows that no matter what, he'll come across as arrogant to many, many egos when attempting to find the words to give to adya that will confirm his past realization/experience. He's struggling with the reality of ego death, which means he cares what other egos think of him and how he is perceived by his peers. He seeks validation/love from adya and from himself. There is only himself, our self, in the absolute. No higher authority to give him what he can't yet give to himself. Have compassion, realization is embarrassing to ones egoic self. He is well aware.
@asianprince911
Someone under the illusion of self realization having a chat with some who is actually self realized.. the compassion is unreal.. in that you have to be self realized to deal with him as you did
@valzer84
So many of us didn’t get the fundamental nervous system wiring to help us with the earthly shit. It’s a tough road. 🙏🏼
