What Really Matters

When we were small, a candy might matter a lot. As we grow older and get into schools, marks, approval from teachers, parents… then probably how we look / attractive to the opposite sex, .. after we graduate, what type of jobs we can find, how fast and how much possessions we accumulate….

In chasing we considered important, we easily overlook / sacrifice our health, peace, joy, … more importantly, fail to really live.

There is certainly no doubt that all these external goodies might enhance our lives, but it is much more important to always remember who we are at the core. that we are not our bodies, minds, possessions, knowledge, abilities, background, .. .and that nothing / no one ultimately guarantee joy and peace, but our constant connection with our true essence.

Thanks to Eckhart and Sadhguru, i am now able to live a much peaceful and joyful life, as i become more aware of my own thoughts and feelings, and often remember that it is the quality of our actions (i.e. how conscious we are when we do something, including speaking, writing…), rather than what we do, that really matters.

Eckhart Tolle

Shortly after my Dad passed away, Eckhart’s video in youtube popped up one night while i could not sleep.

i bought a few of his books a few years ago, read them, put on bookshelf, even gave them all away during home moves.

but this time it was an instant connection. i immersed myself in his teachings daily consecutively for 3 months. jot notes, carry it around…

even now, i still enjoy his talks . it is always great to be reminded to reconnect with our Deep I (true essence) esp. during challenging periods.

my heartfelt thanks to this wonderful being for all he has done and still doing even now. it is in fact one of the latest talk in his first course of School of Awakening that facilitated the birth of this blog, with part of the domain name “Deep I” , so that i can always remember what is absolutely important in the rest of my life.
