NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 559

 

  • ·       “In fact, the harder the mind struggles to get rid of the pain, the greater the pain. The mind can never find the solution, nor can it afford to allow you to find the solution, because it is itself an intrinsic part of the ‘problem.’ Imagine a chief of police trying to find an arsonist when the arsonist is the chief of police. You will not be free of that pain until you cease to derive your sense of self from identification with the mind, which is to say from ego. The mind is then toppled from its place” – Eckhart Tolle

    ·       “Failures lies concealed in every success in every failure.” – Eckhart Tolle

    ·       “It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.” – Eckhart Tolle

    ·       "Man is naturally a dreamer, but science is sobering him so that religion can presently activate him with far less danger of precipitating fanatical reactions."

    ·       Doing something for myself gives motivation but doing something for others gives meaning. - Maxime Lagacé

    ·       The first step in crafting a life you want is to get rid of everything you don’t. -Joshua Becker

    ·       A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security. ~ Albert Einstein
