Allow your dog to take you for a walk every day. It's good for the body and it's good for the soul.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. Death is the opposite of birth.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The mind is essentially a survival machine. Attack and defense against other minds, gathering, storing, and analyzing information - this is what it is good at, but it is not at all creative. All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life wants to support you. But first you need to be open to life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
How many situations can be resolved with less thinking?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Why is old considered useless? Because in old age, the emphasis shifts from doing to Being, and our civilization, which is lost in doing, knows nothing of Being. It asks: Being? What do you do with it?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When I'm with people, I'm a spiritual teacher. That's the function, but it's not my identity. The moment I'm alone, my deepest joy is to benobody, to relinquish the function of a teacher. It's a temporary function.

You are not a problem that needs solving.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You might say, 'What a dreadful day', without realizing that the cold, the wind, and the rain or whatever condition you react to are not dreadful. They are as they are. What is dreadful is your reaction, your inner resistance to it, and the emotion that is created by that resistance.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The most rigid structures, the most impervious to change, will collapse first.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Stillness is your essential nature.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don't realize this because almost everyone is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The soul is your innermost being. The presence that you are beyond form. The consciousness that you are beyond form, that is the soul. That is who you are in essence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When there's somebody there who is transparent enough so that the stillness comes through unhindered, there's a reciprocal movement in you because the presence of stillness suddenly recognizes itself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Peace is your priority, not saving the world. That follows that.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The outer purpose belongs to the horizontal dimension of space and time the inner purpose concerns a deepening of your Being in the vertical dimension of the timeless Now.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
For spiritual teachers, it is important not to identify with the image people inevitably have of them.

Music bypasses the conceptual mind. Music does not give you food for thought.
