Human conduits

"Truth comes into the non-seeking mind fresh and alive.
It is not something you can carry with you, accumulate, or hold onto."
- Adyashanti

All beings are conduits of life. Not creators. We are the vessel, not the driver. The non-seeking mind is hard to fathom. Because we search only in the realm of the senses, we think we should be looking for something we can see, hear, touch, taste, smell, etc. Something that's "there".

As he says, the truth is "there", but it's not something you are holding onto. When you stop seeking, you find it. When you are free from all outside influences (and inside influences - taken from the outside world), you stop seeking. The seeking is the result of desire, desire which is based in sensory experience.

Desire nothing. Life will flow through you with force.
