More quotes by Eckhart Tolle

Image
To have your attention in the Now is not a denial of what is needed in your life. It is recognition of what is primary.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Just watching an animal closely can take you out of your mind and bring you into the present moment, which is where the animal lives all the time - surrendered to life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The state of presence is the only state in which creative energy is available to you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not 'yours,' not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
As long as we define ourselves in terms of our pain and our problems, we will never be free from them.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Underneath the world of sense perceptions and the world of mind activity, there is the vastness of being. There's a vast spaciousness. There's a vast stillness and there's a little ripple activity on the surface, which isn't separate, just like the ripples are not separate from the ocean.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Suffering needs time. It cannot survive in the now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Significant things often happen when you are present. Things come to you, and then you respond to what is required. The response very often comes without a premeditated idea of what you want. It is simply a response to the situation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
True freedom is living as if you had completely chosen whatever you feel or experience in this moment. This inner alignment with the Now is the end of suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The more you make your thoughts and beliefs into your identity, the more cut off you are from the spiritual dimension within yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When there is spiritual awakening, you awaken into the fullness, the aliveness, and also the sacredness of now. You were absent, asleep, and now you are present, awake.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Enlightened groups can exist, as long as the individuals' sense of identity is not derived from a mentally defined image of us.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Forget about your life situation and pay attention to your life. Your life situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind-stuff. Your life is real. Instead of asking 'what do I want from life?,' a more powerful question is, 'what does life want from me?'
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Be aware of your breathing. Notice how this takes attention away from your thinking and creates space.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The ego is just waiting to identify with anything. Whether it's your misery or being a great meditator, it seeks some identification.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Personally, I don't teach practices as such. The power of the teaching is sufficient without needing to go for any practice.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Pain is the fuel that lights the flame of our enlightenment
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A practice can be helpful, but didn't the Buddha compare it to a raft, suggesting it be abandoned when you reach the other shore?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness
