Image
For most people, spiritual awakening is a gradual process. Rarely does it happen all at once. When it does, though, it is usually brought about by intense suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What will be left of all the fearing and wanting associated with your problematic life situation that every day takes up most of your attention? A dash, one or two inches long, between the date of birth and date of death on your gravestone.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are the love and joy beneath the pain.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are the Universe expressing itself as a human for a little while.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life is an adventure, it's not a package tour.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are not just a meaningless fragment in an alien universe, briefly suspended between life and death, allowed a few short-lived pleasures followed by pain and ultimate annihilation.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
As you go about your life, don't give 100 percent of your attention to the external world and your mind. Keep some within.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The egoic madness, or dysfunction, becomes enormously amplified by the science and technology we all have developed.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A culture that denies death inevitably becomes shallow and superficial, concerned only with the external form of things. When death is denied, life loses its depth.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Space has no existence. To exist literally means to stand out. You cannot understand space because it doesn't stand out. Although in itself it has no existence, it enables everything else to exist. Silence has no existence either, nor does the unmanifested.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy- joy arises from within.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thought alone cannot recognize spiritual truths no matter how highly developed thought is. It's impossible.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Many people live habitually as if the present moment were an obstacle that they need to overcome in order to get to the next moment, and imagine living your whole live like that. Always, this moment is not quite good enough because you need to get to the next one.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What is commonly called 'falling in love' is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to another person, or rather to your image of that person. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no wanting whatsoever.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
True listening is another way of bringing stillness into the relationship. When you truly listen to someone, the dimension of stillness arises and becomes an essential part of the relationship.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
It may look as if the situation is creating the suffering, but ultimately this is not so - your resistance is.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
And so I came to understand why some masters sometimes say, You are already enlightened.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life.
Eckhart Tolle
