If there isn't an emanation of love and joy, complete presence and openness toward all beings, then it is not enlightenment.
Eckhart TolleWhatever you think people are withholding from you-praise, appreciation, assistance, loving care, and so on-give it to them.
Eckhart TolleThere is only one perpetrator of evil on the planet: human unconsciousness. That realization is true forgiveness. With forgiveness, your victim identity dissolves, and your true power emerges--the power of Presence. Instead of blaming the darkness, you bring in the light.
Eckhart TolleWhen you live in surrender, something comes through you into the world of duality that is not of this world.
Eckhart TolleTeaching a practice can also be a hindrance if it becomes one's identity. To be a spiritual teacher is a temporary function. I'm a spiritual teacher when somebody comes to me and some teaching happens, but the moment they leave I'm no longer a spiritual teacher. If I carry the identity of spiritual teacher, it will cause suffering.
Eckhart Tolle
