If I thought it was my identity to be a spiritual teacher, that would be a delusion. It's not an identity. It's simply a function in this world.
Eckhart TolleI cannot tell you any spiritual truth that deep within you don't know already. All I can do is remind you of what you have forgotten.
Eckhart TolleMany adults play roles when they speak to young children. They use silly words and sounds. They talk down to the child. They don't treat the child as an equal. The fact that you temporarily know more, or you're bigger does not mean the child is not your equal.
Eckhart Tolle
