"Enlightenment means rising above thought, not falling back……" — Eckhart Tolle

"Enlightenment means rising above thought, not falling back to a level below thought, the level of an animal or a plant. In the enlightened state, you still use your thinking mind when needed, but in a much more focused and effective way than before."

— Eckhart Tolle
