Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.
Eckhart TolleThe equivalent of external noise is the inner noise of thinking. The equivalent of external silence is inner stillness.
Eckhart TolleStillness is your essential nature. What is stillness? The inner space or awareness in which the words on this page are bieng perceived and become thoughts. Without that awareness, there would be no perception, no thoughts, no world. You are that awareness, disguised as a person.
Eckhart Tolle
