True salvation is freedom from negativity, and above all from past and future as a psychological need.
Interpretation
What this quote means

Eckhart Tolle suggests that true freedom and salvation come from letting go of negativity that hinders our peace of mind. This entails releasing the attachments to past grievances and future anxieties, which often trap individuals in a cycle of suffering, allowing them to live more fully in the present moment.

If these questions were always asked, and honestly answered, there would be less advice given.
