25 – 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 Tolle
26 – The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life. Eckhart Tolle
27- You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are. Eckhart Tolle
28 – Being must be felt. It can’t be thought. Eckhart Tolle
29 – You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle. Eckhart Tolle
30 – Living up to an image that you have of yourself or that other people have of you is inauthentic living. Eckhart Tolle
ECKHART TOLLE QUOTES
31 – Awareness is the greatest agent for change. Eckhart Tolle
32 – Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is. Eckhart Tolle
33 – Power over others is weakness disguised as strength. Eckhart Tolle

40 – Is there a difference between happiness and inner peace? Yes. Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not. Eckhart Tolle
ECKHART TOLLE QUOTES
41 – What a caterpillar calls the end of the world we call a butterfly. Eckhart Tolle
42 – Worry pretends to be necessary but serves no useful purpose. Eckhart Tolle
43 – Don’t seek happiness. If you seek it, you won’t find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness. Eckhart Tolle
44 – Life is the dancer and you are the dance. Eckhart Tolle
45 – You cannot be both unhappy and fully present in the Now. Eckhart Tolle
46 – Give up defining yourself – to yourself or to others. You won’t die. You will come to life. And don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem.
Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are. Eckhart Tolle
47- If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me. Eckhart Tolle
48 – Become conscious of being conscious. Eckhart Tolle
49 – Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on. Eckhart Tolle
50 – Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness. Eckhart Tolle
BONUS: Why does the mind habitually deny or resist the Now? Because it cannot function and remain in control without time, which is past and future, so it perceives the timeless Now as threatening. Time and mind are in fact inseparable. Eckhart Tolle
BONUS: Space has no “existence.” “To exist” literally means “to stand out.” You cannot understand space because it doesn’t stand out. Although in itself it has no existence, it enables everything else to exist. Silence has no existence either, nor does the Unmanifested. Eckhart Tolle
BONUS: Forget about your life situation and pay attention to your life. Your life situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind-stuff. Your life is real. Eckhart Tolle
BONUS: Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? What could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now?
Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you. Eckhart Tolle
BONUS: The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly — you usually don’t use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over. Eckhart Tolle
BONUS: “How” is always more important than “what.” See if you can give much more attention to the doing than to the result that you want to achieve through it. Eckhart Tolle
BONUS: To end the misery that has afflicted the human condition for thousands of years, you have to start with yourself and take responsibility for your inner state at any given moment. That means now. Eckhart Tolle
