Eckhart Tolle: Essential Teachings
Awakening is Realization, Not Achievement
Awakening and enlightenment are inherent aspects of one's being that are often unrealized. The analogy of a seed suggests that this essence exists within but remains dormant. The pursuit of achievement creates an unnecessary barrier, as these qualities cannot be attained in the future; they must be recognized in the present moment. Understanding the difference between achievement, which is time-bound, and realization, which acknowledges the existing nature of consciousness, is crucial for spiritual seekers. True awakening involves realizing the consciousness that is already a part of one's essence, rather than striving for something perceived as external or future-oriented.
