Eckhart Tolle said that when he was full of disappointment in his life, he experienced an inner transformation one day. He was thinking one night that he could not live with himself. Then a question arises in his mind if he were two or one. That one sentence thought tangled him.
Surprisingly enough, everything seemed new, alive, and peaceful to him the following day, though nothing had changed physically. Finding the reason for that undefinable change in self, he adopted the path of spirituality. He could now put the feelings and experiences he had in words. Walking the path of spirituality, he became an influential spiritual teacher and an author.
He says that we have lost ourselves in the materialistic world that our inner self has suppressed. That is the leading cause of anxiety, disappointment, depression, and unpleasant life. The peace and satisfaction that we strive to find in the outside world are already present inside us.
We are always thinking of the past and future. We don’t realize that past is about the experience and the life ahead is about hope and anticipation. It is present that is the reality. So, when we make every present moment beautiful, our future will turn even more attractive.
When I and myself become one, you will know the power of living now and understand life’s true purpose and meaning. You will be able to shed off evil emotions, destructive habits, and thoughts. Being a true believer in spirituality, I want to share some famous Eckhart Tolle quotes with you all.
