Failures lies concealed in every success in every failure.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Then, if action is possible or necessary, you take action or rather right action happens through you. Right action is action that is appropriate to the whole. When the action is accomplished, the alert, spacious stillness remains.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
In whatever way change comes, the important thing is to take responsibility for this moment. Then, life becomes cooperative.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Every being is a spark of the Divine, or God. Look into the eyes of the dog and sense that innermost core. When you are present, you can sense the spirit, the one consciousness, in every creature and love it as yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We are destined not to go back to the level of animals that we've come from but to return to being by going beyond thinking.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You are the sky. The clouds are what happens, what comes and goes.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
What a liberation to realize that the 'voice in my head' is not who I am. 'Who am I, then?' The one who sees that.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you take your attention into the present moment, a certain alertness arises. You become more conscious of what's around you, but also, strangely, a sense of presence that is both within and without.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
I call animals guardians of Being, especially animals that live with humans. Because, for many humans, it's through their contact with animals they get in touch with that level of being.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Peace comes from being aligned with the present moment. Wherever you are, you feel that you are home—because you are home.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Use whatever challenge comes into your life as a kind of fuel for the flame of consciousness. That is done through surrender to what is. Some people may need more of that than others. If you choose presence in your daily life you may not need the drastic challenges.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When your consciousness is directed outward, mind and world arise. When it is directed inward, it realises its own Source and returns home into the Unmanifested.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The power of movies lies in the fact that it enables the viewer to enter the reality, to some extent, of the characters.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Important thing to realize is the world is not here to make me happy. When you don't demand that the situation, or place, or person should make you happy, then actually the situation, place, or person is quite satisfying.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
This, too, will pass.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.
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
Every practice at some point will become a hindrance. No practice can ever take you there, to freedom, to liberation. That's important to realize.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Pain is the fuel that lights the flame of our enlightenment
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.
