This is important because whenever you complain about what somebody else does you're already beginning to fall into that trap of unconsciousness.

Transcending the world does not mean to withdraw from the world, to no longer take action, or to stop interacting with people. Transcendence of the world is to act and to interact without any self-seeking.

If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
When you are aligned with the now internally, when you take responsibility for this moment, then life is helpful and tends to bring you what you need.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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
What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
In fact, people think you have to be stressed to be successful. They think if you are not stressed, something is wrong with you.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Prejudice of any kind implies that you are identified with the thinking mind. It means you don't see the other human being anymore, but only your own concept of that human being. To reduce the aliveness of another human being to a concept is already a form of violence.

Give up waiting as a state of mind. When you catch yourself slipping into waiting...snap out of it. Come into the present moment. Just be and enjoy being.
