Eckhart Tolle
Image
Don't Seek Happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Most people are so distracted by their thoughts, so identified with the voices in their heads, they no longer feel the aliveness within them. To be unable to feel the life that animates the physical body, the very life that you are, is the greatest deprivation that can happen to you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Since ancient times, spiritual masters of all traditions have pointed to the Now as the key to the spiritual dimension. Despite this, it seems to have remained a secret.

That stillness and vastness that enables the Universe to be, is not just out there in space...it is also within you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for. Everybody's life really consists of small things. Greatness is a mental abstraction and a favorite fantasy of the ego. The paradox is that the foundation for greatness is the honoring of small things of the present moment instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.

Ask yourself: Is there joy, ease and lightness in what i'm doing? If there isn't then time is covering up the present moment, and life is perceived as a burden or a struggle.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Through forgiveness, which essentially means recognizing the insubstantiality of the past and allowing the present moment to be as it is, the miracle of transformation happens not only within but also without.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are trying to get from here to there, and you already are late, you know that you are late, and yet you are aligned with the present moment while you are stuck in a traffic jam. You are totally accepting of the moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can still achieve certain things through effort, struggle, determination, and sheer hard work or cunning. But there is no joy in such endeavor, and it invariably ends in some form of suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Humanity had to go through egoic madness and then outgrow it.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Knowing yourself as the awareness behind the voice is freedom.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Use whatever challenge comes into your life as a kind of fuel for the flame of consciousness. That is done through surrender to what is. Some people may need more of that than others. If you choose presence in your daily life you may not need the drastic challenges.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To be aware of little, quiet things, you need to be quiet inside. A high degree of alertness is required. Be still. Look. Listen. Be present.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The problems that we are facing are multiplying on the planet - economic, environmental, social, political upheaval, the list goes on. It's a time of change and transition and, as I see it, we are entering a new state of consciousness. It's a transition between one state of consciousness and another. It's an evolutionary leap that is happening.

The ego wants to want more than it wants to have. And so the shallow satisfaction of having is always replaced by more wanting.
