So do not be concerned with the fruit of your action-just give attention to the action itself. The fruit will come of its own accord.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Being an outsider to some extent, someone who does not fit in with others or is rejected by them for whatever reason, makes life difficult, but it also places you at an advantage as far as enlightenment is concerned. It takes you out of unconsciousness almost by force.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
A significant portion of the earth's population will soon recognize, if they haven't already done so, that humanity is now faced with a stark choice: Evolve or die.
Eckhart Tolle
Image

Surrender comes when you no longer ask, 'Why is this happening to me?'
Eckhart Tolle

Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

The Truth is inseparable from who you are. Yes, you are the Truth. If you look for it elsewhere, you will be deceived every time.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You need to learn to be with the suffering that inevitably arises in your life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The particular egoic patterns that you react to most strongly in others and misperceive as their identity tend to be the same patterns that are also in you, but that you are unable or unwilling to detect within yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You can be effective in this world without stress.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Through forgiveness, which essentially means recognizing the insubstantiality of the past and allowing the present moment to be as it is, the miracle of transformation happens not only within but also without.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Always work with the present moment, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.
