Quote

As long as you are unable to access the power of the Now, every emotional pain that you experience leaves behind a residue of pain that lives on in you.

Image
Loss is very painful, because any kind of loss leaves a hole in the fabric of one's existence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Every challenge is a disguised opportunity for salvation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Everything flows with much greater ease when people live as one with the present moment.
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
Life is your deepest inner Being. It is already whole, complete, perfect.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Actually, the ability to choose presence depends on the degree of presence that's emerging in you. Ultimately, you are not choosing, there's nobody there to choose. When you think you are choosing, presence is simply emerging in that moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
It's a wonderful thing to perceive the world and to interact with it and with other people and nature from that deep place of utter stillness, where the compulsion to immediately label and interpret whatever arises around you is no longer there.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The whole world accepts that being stressed is the normal way to live.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. … The ultimate purpose of human existence, which is to say, your purpose, is to bring that power into this world.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I feel that I need to return to the pure stillness periodically. And then, when the teaching happens, just allow it to arise out of the stillness. So the teaching and stillness are very closely connected. The teaching arises out of the stillness. But when I'm alone, there's only the stillness, and that is my favorite place.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Vipassana is fine until it becomes a technique that has many stages and that takes time to develop. That can be okay for people for a while, but then you have to leave the technique behind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The place that I love most is the stillness. It's not that the stillness is lost when I talk or when I teach because the words arise out of the stillness. But when people leave me, there is only the stillness left. And I love that so much.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We have forgotten what rocks and plants still know - we have forgotten how to be - to be still - to be ourselves - to be where life is here and now
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Waiting is a state of mind that says we want what we don't have. Therefore, with every kind of waiting we produce an inner conflict between now and the projected future. This greatly reduces the quality of our life. Are you a 'habitual waiter'?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can't wait for the end of your problems for you to be present. It has to be done whereever you are - which is now
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.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Wake up. Get out of your mind. Be present.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior. You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You create a good future by creating a good present. How do you do that? By recognizing the goodness that is already inherent in the present moment, even in the midst of challenges. Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
