Nonresistance, nonjudgment, and nonattachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living.
Interpretation
What this quote means
True freedom and enlightenment come from not resisting, judging, or becoming attached to anything.
Eckhart Tolle's quote emphasizes the importance of adopting a mindset that allows us to live freely and enlightened. By practicing nonresistance, we let go of struggles against circumstances; by embracing nonjudgment, we avoid preconceived notions about ourselves and others; and with nonattachment, we free ourselves from the burdens of possessions and expectations, thus achieving a sense of liberation and inner peace.

"There are one or two elementary rules to be observed in the way of handling patients," he remarked, seating himself on the table and swinging his legs. "The most obvious is that you must never let them see that you want them. It should be pure condescension on your part seeing them at all; and the more difficulties you throw in the way of it, the more they think of it. Break your patients in early, and keep them well to heel."
