The Work of Redemption (Excerpt)

https://adyashanti.org – As human beings, we are always searching for wholeness and completeness in a myriad of ways, and so the work of redemption continues. Adyashanti looks into what it means to be a bodhisattva and a redeeming presence in the world, along with how you can utilize your realizations to embody that completeness more fully and without end.

Quotes from this Video:

“As human beings, we are always either growing into or away from our true nature.”

“A bodhisattva is the Buddhist mythic representation of this experience of redemption, of the redeeming presence.”

“To be a bodhisattva is the aim of all this.”

“The work of redemption continues in human beings. That’s what people are looking for in myriad ways, they are looking for wholeness.”

“The greatest bodhisattvas have no consciousness of being bodhisattvas. They don’t see themselves as bodhisattvas at all.”

“Our own realization—whatever it may be and to whatever degree it may be—is a great gift and a grace, and if it’s seen in its truest light, it’s also a recognition of a kind of responsibility. Somehow I need to pick this up and in my limited, fragile, imperfect, human way, embody the grace that’s been shown to me.”

“We are always in a state of becoming. Becoming isn’t a search for completeness if you’ve already found the completeness that is always there. The becoming is the capacity to always embody that completeness more clearly, more compassionately, more wisely, more fully, and without end.

“The people that really live in a deep state of realization are resting in the always and already state of completeness and are always becoming—and they are not clutching to either one.”
