Through the present moment, you have access to the power of life itself, that which has traditionally been called "God." As soon as you turn away from it, God ceases to be a reality in your life, and all you are left with is the mental concept of God, which some people believe in and others deny. Even belief in God is only a poor substitute for the living reality of God manifesting every moment of your life.
Eckhart TolleAny action that arises out of stress is of low quality, and it contributes to human suffering. You are making yourself and others suffer.
Eckhart TolleAll you need to know and observe in yourself is this: Whenever you feel superior or inferior to anyone, that's the ego in you.
Eckhart TolleSome people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can't stand the suffering anymore.
