The joy of Being, which is the only true happiness, cannot come to you through any form, possession, achievement, person, or event - through anything that happens. That joy cannot come to you - ever. It emanates from the formless dimension within you, from consciousness itself and thus is one with who you are.
Eckhart TolleIt wasn't through the mind, through thinking, that the miracle that is life on earth or your body were created and are being sustained.
Eckhart TolleEverything is as it is at any moment. There's no way of arguing, because you are arguing with reality - the isness of this moment. You can argue with it, but that's suffering.
Eckhart TolleSome people say, the world can be so alive! It always is, you just do not know it because of the screen of your thinking. You notice it as you become more awake.
Eckhart TolleThe foundation of greatness is honoring the small things of the present moment, instead of pursuing the idea of greatness.
Eckhart TolleYou can't wait for the end of your problems for you to be present. It has to be done whereever you are - which is now
Eckhart TolleThere are situations when all answers and explanations fade. When you fully accept that you do not know, you give up struggling to find answers with the limited thinking mind. That is when the greater intelligence can operate though you. Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and becoming comfortable with not knowing.
Eckhart Tolle
