Eckhart Tolle Quotes About Madness

Quotes about: Madness

• When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.

  Eckhart Tolle

  Hate, Complaining, Madness

• See if you can catch yourself complaining in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.

• Many people who are going through the early stages of the awakening process are no longer certain what their outer purpose is. What drives the world no longer drives them.

They are no longer run by the ego, yet the arising awareness has not yet become fully integrated into their lives. Inner and outer purpose have not merged.
