JOY -ECKHART TOLLE

“Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth. They are looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love, while they have a treasure within that not only includes all those things but is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.”

“You are not just a meaningless fragment in an alien universe, briefly suspended between life and death, allowed a few short-lived pleasures followed by pain and ultimate annihilation.”

“Love, joy, and peace are deep states of BEING. ”

“Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy. joy arises from within.”

“Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.”

“Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance.”

“You are the Love and Joy beneath the Pain.”

-Eckhart Tolle
