Eckhart Tolle

In the eyes of the ego, self-esteem and humility are contradictory. In truth, they are one and the same.

Eckhart Tolle

Internal and external are ultimately one. When you no longer perceive the world as hostile, there is no more fear, and when there is no more fear, you think, speak and act differently. Love and compassion arise, and they affect the world.

Eckhart Tolle

It is not necessary to do things in a state of anxiety or anguish. That is not the way to be aligned with life.

Eckhart Tolle

It is quite possible even that the planet would no longer be able to sustain human life. Probably, the planet eventually would regenerate and produce some other life form. Consciousness would flow into some other life form and express itself through that, whatever that would be.

Eckhart Tolle

It is the nature of the world of form that nothing stays fixed for very long – and so it starts to fall apart again. Forms dissolve; new forms arise. Watch the clouds. They will teach you about the world of form.

Eckhart Tolle

It’s a wonderful thing to perceive the world and to interact with it and with other people and nature from that deep place of utter stillness, where the compulsion to immediately label and interpret whatever arises around you is no longer there.

Eckhart Tolle

Just as dogs love to chew bones, the mind loves to get its teeth into problems. That’s why it does crossword puzzles and builds atom bombs.

Eckhart Tolle

Knowing the oneness of yourself and the other is true love, true care, true compassion.

Eckhart Tolle

Leave life alone. Let it be.

Eckhart Tolle

Life always is now, but the form the now takes changes continuously. Most people equate the form the now takes with the now itself, and so they believe there are many different moments.
