Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas. It is true that every dogma crumbles sooner or later, because reality will eventually disclose its falseness; however, unless the basic delusion of it is seen for what it is, it will be replaced by others.
Eckhart TolleThe ego is just waiting to identify with anything. Whether it's your misery or being a great meditator, it seeks some identification.
Eckhart TolleDon'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.
Eckhart TolleJust as the sun is infinitely brighter than a candle flame, there is infinitely more intelligence in Being than in your mind
Eckhart TolleThere is another side to death. Whether death happens through an act of violence to a large number of people or to an individual, whether death comes prematurely through illness or accident, or whether death comes through old age, death is always an opening. So a great opportunity comes whenever we face death.
Eckhart Tolle
