When you wash your hands, when you make a cup of coffee, when you’re waiting for the elevator, instead of indulging in thinking, these are all opportunities for being there as a still, alert presence. – Eckhart Tolle.
The destination of life is this eternal moment
Attention to this moment is an alchemy that turns dullness to beauty and anxiety to ease. When you are present in this moment, you break the continuity of your story, of past and future, you are simply as real as you are in this moment.
Experientially realize that you are not an individual bubble, you are a universe
Don’t be bothered with the next moment, or the next life, or the next world. Make this moment rejoicing, make this moment a moment of bliss, and the next will follow it, and the next life, and the next world. – Osho
Only silence communicates the truth as it is
If you sit quietly for a moment and go within to search as to what and where this I is, you will be surprised that despite an intense search, you cannot find an I anywhere. The deeper you search inside, the more profound a void and silence you will find there, and no ego, no I anywhere.
The possessiveness shows simply one thing, that we cannot trust existence
The root of the problem is the strong distraction of the mind, which makes it unable to realize its own unbalanced condition and the reality of everything in which is an inseparable fragment. The urge, the demand, the longing to be totally secure in our relations with everything is nothing more and nothing less that a manifestation of that distraction, which is an irrational condition of the mind. – Jiddu Krishnamurti
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough
Focus your mind on ‘I am’, which is pure and simple being. You are Here and Now only. Contemplate what it is to be fully ‘Here’ and fully ‘Now’. For this you must leave all else; stay only as here-now. Conscious presence. This is Being. This is Reality.
Touching the present moment creates the experience of eternity
How to be at peace now? By making peace with the present moment. The present moment is the field on which the game of life happens. It cannot happen anywhere else. – Eckhart Tolle
Step outside your comfort zone
Everybody wants freedom as far as talking is concerned, but nobody really is free and nobody wants to be free, because freedom brings responsibility. – Osho
Gratitude is absolutely the way to bring more into your life
The seed that makes the man is the same seed that makes the universe. When man discovers himself he had discovered the mystery of the universe as well. Naturally there is harmony.
Balance outer and inner
Balance is the highest peace possible, because when two things balance, outer and inner, activity and passivity, suddenly you transcend them both. When they both balance you are no longer this, no longer that. Suddenly you are the third force, the onlooker, the witness.
