Truth Comes at a Cost
by Adyashanti
If I was to translate the enlightened state down into human terms,
I'd have to describe it as contentment. Being nobody, going nowhere,
needing no reason to exist. To the ego, that probably sounds a little
boring and of course to an ego it is. But then again,

Adyashanti quote:
The state itself is reality, and it's won at the
hands of unreality. Simply put, ultimate truth comes
at a cost, and the cost is everything in you and
about you that is unreal. The end result is freedom,
happiness, peace, and no longer viewing life through
the veils of illusion.
