Eckhart Tolle Quotes

The most powerful state for a human to be in is the state of embracing completely the reality of what is - Now. It is to say "Yes" to life, which is now and always now. There is a vast power in that "Yes," that state of inner non-resistance to what is.

Equanimity arises when we accept the way things are.

Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.

Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.

Surrendering only refers to this moment, whatever "is" at this moment - to accept unconditionally and fully whatever arises at this moment.

Don't observe yourself too closely. Don't be too quick to draw conclusions from what happens to you; simply let it happen.

When we let go of our battles and open our hearts to things as they are, then we come to rest in the present moment. This is the beginning and the end of spiritual practice.

When you accept what is, you are grateful for whatever situation arises.

Let things be, let yourself be, let everything be and accept it as it is. Nothing more. Nothing less.

What would it be like if I could accept life--accept this moment--exactly as it is?

Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace.

Accept the present moment and find the perfection that is deeper than any form and untouched by time.

A simple but radical spiritual practice is to accept whatever arises in the Now, within and without.

I have arrived. I am home. My destination is in each step.

Some people say it is hard to live in such a way, being completely one with the present moment. Of course, it is not hard. The opposite is hard. Not being one with life is hard, and that is how most people live.

And though some days it is very hard, I try not to live for the future. And I try not to dream of the past.

The reality consists only of now, the present. It has nothing to do with the past and nothing to do with the future. It is so concentrated in this moment that if you can be in this moment, all that you are seeking and searching will be fulfilled. This moment is the door to the divine.

I don't care what you do. We all deal with it if we're living life, trying to find those moments where you can turn off your brain and connect to whatever and just be grounded, live in the moment, which I find really difficult but try to practice on a daily basis.

The truth is in the present moment.

Accepting means you allow yourself to feel whatever it is you are feeling at that moment. It is part of the isness of the Now. You can't argue with what is. Well, you can, but if you do, you suffer.

When you are suffering, when you are unhappy, stay totally with what is Now. Unhappiness or problems cannot survive in the Now.

Living in the present moment creates the experience of eternity.

Only one person in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the present.

Whatever you are doing, don't let past move your mind;don't let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet.
