When I'm with people, I'm a spiritual teacher. That's the function, but it's not my identity. The moment I'm alone, my deepest joy is to benobody, to relinquish the function of a teacher. It's a temporary function.

More quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Life is your deepest inner Being. It is already whole, complete, perfect.
Eckhart Tolle
When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.
Eckhart Tolle
Suffering has a noble purpose: the evolution of consciousness and the burning up of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
It's interesting that stepping out of thought was actually triggered by a thought.
Eckhart Tolle
The unchecked striving for more, for endless growth, is a dysfunction and a disease. It is the same dysfunction the cancerous cell manifests, whose only goal is to multiply itself, unaware that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the organism of which it is a part.
Eckhart Tolle
When you recognize this, you also realize that you are now free to give up this futile conflict, this inner state of war.
Eckhart Tolle
Some groups and individuals still are immersed totally in the egoic consciousness. Others already are free or in the process of stepping out of ego. The arising of the new consciousness already has started for many people. They are not yet recognizable as groups, but they are here and there.
Eckhart Tolle
In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.
Eckhart Tolle
Stillness is your essential nature. What is stillness? The inner space or awareness in which the words on this page are bieng perceived and become thoughts. Without that awareness, there would be no perception, no thoughts, no world. You are that awareness, disguised as a person.
Eckhart Tolle
The moment you put a mental label on another human being, you can no longer truly relate to that person. . . It then becomes possible to perpetrate any act of violence.
Eckhart Tolle
Don't get stuck on the level of words. A word is no more than a means to an end. It's an abstraction. Not unlike a signpost, it points beyond itself
Eckhart Tolle
You must have failed deeply on some level or experienced some deep loss or pain to be drawn to the spiritual dimension. Or perhaps your very success became empty and meaningless and so turned out to be a failure.
Eckhart Tolle
By watching the mechanics of the mind, you step out of its resistance patterns, and you can then allow the present moment to be.
Eckhart Tolle
In any relationship, especially marriage, be as free of compulsive thinking as possible. In other words, the more space there is in the relationship - inner space - the more love there is because love arises out of the inner spaciousness.
Eckhart Tolle
Even running to catch a train or a taxi, you can enjoy the high energy of the moment.
Eckhart Tolle
You are the Universe expressing itself as a human for a little while.
Eckhart Tolle
Once you realize that a certain kind of food makes you sick, would you carry on eating that food and keep on asserting that it's okay to be sick?
Eckhart Tolle
Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.
Eckhart Tolle
Joy is uncaused and arises from within as the joy of Being. It is an essential part of the inner state of peace, the state that has been called the peace of God. It is your natural state, not something that you need to work hard for or struggle to attain.
Eckhart Tolle
If there were nothing but thought in you, you wouldn't even know you are thinking. You would be like a dreamer who doesn't know he is dreaming. When you know you are dreaming, you are awake within the dream.
Eckhart Tolle
