In This Interview, Adyashanti and I Discuss…

His book, The Most Important Thing: Discovering Truth at the Heart of Life
Attention and Intention
The inquiry at any given time: Where are we giving our attention to?
Considering the question: What is worthwhile orienting your life around?
The limitations that come with aging
How the definition of happiness changes as we age
Wholeness of being
Life as it is rather than the image of life
Two interpretations of the fact that sometimes those who are the most unhappy tend to be seeking happiness the most
Shooting for meaning rather than happiness
How meaning is an experience of being
The inquiry: What am I in service to?
That we don’t seem to do well as human beings when we live exclusively for ourselves
What does it mean to really serve what you realize (rather than trying to realize more and more)
The mistaken thinking that an act of service must be grand in scale or scope or must be visible to really count or matter
How it’s easy to be noble when you are noticed but in most of our lives that’s not what’s taking place
That giving time and attention when someone needs it can make for transformative moments
Seeing the importance of the things you do in your life now that are in service
That you can’t make yourself awaken but what you do DOES have an impact – it’s just indirect
The yearning itself comes from the very thing we’re yearning for (in terms of awakening)
