Eckhart Tolle

Surrender is surrender to this moment, not to a story through which you interpret this moment and then try to resign yourself to it.

You are the light of the world. You are the consciousness that illuminates the world. Know yourself as that, and that's freedom, liberation, awakening, the end of suffering and madness. And it's happening right here.
Eckhart Tolle
