The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.
Eckhart TolleMuch suffering, much unhappiness arises when you take each thought that comes into your head for the truth.
Eckhart TolleNo practice can take you to liberation. That is important to know. It can be a little step that is useful until you realize you don't need it anymore, because after a certain point it becomes a hindrance.
Eckhart TolleIf you keep your attention in the body as much as possible, you will be anchored in the Now. You won't lose yourself in the external world, and you won't lose yourself in your mind. Thoughts and emotions, fears and desires may still be there to some extent, but they won't take you over.
Eckhart Tolle
