Some people get attached to their practice. They get good at it, but even becoming a good meditator can become a hindrance.
Eckhart TolleLearn from nature. See how everything gets accomplished and how the miracle of life unfolds without dissatisfaction or unhappiness.
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 TolleThe mind is essentially a survival machine. Attack and defense against other minds, gathering, storing, and analyzing information - this is what it is good at, but it is not at all creative. All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.
