Quotes By Author: Eckhart Tolle

“Through the present moment, you have access to the power of life itself, that which has traditionally been called “God.” As soon as you turn away from it, God ceases to be a reality in your life, and all you are left with is the mental concept of God, which some people believe in and others deny. Even belief in God is only a poor substitute for the living reality of God manifesting every moment of your life.”

“What will be left of all the fearing and wanting associated with your problematic life situation that every day takes up most of your attention? A dash, one or two inches long, between the date of birth and date of death on your gravestone.”

“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.”

“Is there a difference between happiness and inner peace? Yes. Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not.”

“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you will ever have.”

“Life isn’t as serious as the mind makes it out to be.”

“To love is to recognize yourself in another.”

“The past has no power over the present moment.”
