This is a collection of 70+ very potent enlightenment quotes from spiritual masters throughout time starting with the Buddha, over Socrates and Plato, Jesus, Ramana Maharshi, Eckhart Tolle and even Yoda and more. (Video below)

Listen to these quotes with the knowing, that truth can not be found in words but only in truth itself. Words are mere pointers with the aim of bringing you back to what already is your true nature now. Don’t try to put these sentences into your mental framework, rather let them pass through to the deepest place of your being. You don’t need to actively try to make something happen. Everything happens on it’s own in it’s own rhythm. Just relax and listen.
