Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior. You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. Furthermore, you are the love and joy beneath the pain.

— Eckhart Tolle

Body awareness not only anchors you in the present moment. It is a doorway out of the prison that is the ego.

— Eckhart Tolle

Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not 'yours,' not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you.

— Eckhart Tolle

Can you look without the voice in your head commenting, drawing conclusions, comparing, or trying to figure something out?

Consciousness is a vast ocean and thinking is the waves & ripples on the surface of the ocean. Every wave & ripple has a very short-lived life - it is very fleeting Do not identify with your thoughts - continued identification with the stream of thinking leads to a very serious dysfunction in one's sense of identity...

— Eckhart Tolle

Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to "die before you die" --- and find that there is no death.

— Eckhart Tolle

Die before you die and find that there is no death.

— Eckhart Tolle

Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.

— Eckhart Tolle

Don't look for peace. Don't look for any other state than the one you are in now; otherwise, you will set up inner conflict and unconscious resistance. Forgive yourself for not being at peace. The moment you completely accept your non-peace, your non-peace becomes transmuted into peace. Anything you accept fully will get you there, will take you into peace. This is the miracle of surrender

— Eckhart Tolle

Don't wait to be successful at some future point. Have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.

— Eckhart Tolle
