Words reduce reality to something the human mind can grasp, which isnโt very much. Language consists of five basic sounds produced by the vocal cords. They are the vowels a, e, i, o, u. The other sounds are consonants produced by air pressure: s, f, g, and so forth. Do you believe some combination of such basic sounds could ever explain who you are, or the ultimate purpose of the universe, or even what a tree or stone is in its depth?
Eckhart TolleIt may look as if the situation is creating the suffering, but ultimately this is not so - your resistance is.
Eckhart TolleThe essence of every form is the deathless. Even the essence of a blade of grass is the deathless. And that's why the world of form is sacred.
Eckhart TolleThe great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for. Everybody's life really consists of small things. Greatness is a mental abstraction and a favorite fantasy of the ego. The paradox is that the foundation for greatness is the honoring of small things of the present moment instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
