Using a profound quote by Meister Eckhart regarding the awakened mind, Adya addresses the idea of a spiritual seeker and points to that which is behind the “seeker”—the One that is actually doing the seeking.
Excerpted from November 22, 2006, Palo Alto Meeting, “Surrender or Suffer.”
Quote from this Video: “If the reality is already what’s looking through you, and what is looking out with your eye is the reality’s eye, then what could you possibly be seeking?”
