Quote

In the world of form, everything changes and evolves. So, there was a certain evolution of the teaching. Different pointers came in, different stories, different approaches to the truth, which always is the same.

Image
The goal has its importance. But the doing is what is truly fulfilling. Every enthusiastic person has a goal that may be important, but the doing is intensely fulfilling, and it is the essence of enthusiasm.

Awareness and ego cannot coexist.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The most decisive event in your life is when you discover you are not your thoughts or emotions. Instead, you can be present as the awareness behind the thoughts and emotions.
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
When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Don't wait to be successful at some future point, have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.

Space and silence are two aspects of the same thing. The same no-thing. They are externalization of inner space and inner silence, which is stillness: the infinitely creative womb of all existence.
Eckhart Tolle

We have forgotten what rocks and plants still know - we have forgotten how to be - to be still - to be ourselves - to be where life is here and now
Eckhart Tolle
Image
We could say that the totality, life wants the sapling to become a tree, but the sapling doesn't see itself as separate from life and so wants nothing for itself. It is one with what life wants. That's why it isn't worried or stressed. And, if it has to die prematurely, it dies with ease.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
If you are in a state of intense presence you are free of thought, yet highly alert. If your conscious attention sinks below a certain level, thought rushes in, the mental noise returns, stillness is lost, you're back in time.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Suffering has a noble purpose: the evolution of consciousness and the burning up of the ego.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
The other person's presence ultimately is the same as your presence, because it is in presence that there is true meeting.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
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.

Quality requires your Presence.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
People don't realize that now is all there ever is there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Actually, the ability to choose presence depends on the degree of presence that's emerging in you. Ultimately, you are not choosing, there's nobody there to choose. When you think you are choosing, presence is simply emerging in that moment.

Your outer journey may contain a million steps your inner journey only has one: the step you are taking right now.
