“I don’t think in terms of having or using techniques. Any technique that is used mechanically tends to condition the mind further. Our natural condition is one of peace and stillness. Who is interested in techniques? Only the mind. All techniques are for the mind, but you are not the mind. Direct insight and experience reveal your Self to be freedom. You don’t need techniques to be as you truly are. Simply be still.”

~ Adyashanti (20th-21st century American mystic)
