More quotes by Meister Eckhart
The soul is created in a place between Time and Eternity: with its highest powers it touches Eternity, with its lower Time.
Meister Eckhart
All that the Eternal Father teaches and reveals is His being, His nature, and His Godhead, which He manifests to us in His Son, and teaches us that we are also His Son.
Meister Eckhart
God is nearer to me than I am to myself He is just as near to wood and stone, but they do not know it.
Meister Eckhart
To walk on not wondering am I right or doing something wrong.
Meister Eckhart
If I say that God is good, that is not true. God is not good. I am good, and if I say that God is wise, that is not true. I am wiser than he is.
Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
For a heart to be perfectly ready it has to be perfectly empty. In this condition it has attained its maximum capacity.
Meister Eckhart
...Where and when God finds you ready, he must act and overflow into you, just as when the air is clear and pure, the sun must overflow into it and cannot refrain from doing that.
Meister Eckhart
And so, too, I speak of love: he who is held by it is held by the strongest of bonds, and yet the stress is pleasant. Moreover, he can sweetly bear all that happens to him. When one has found this bond, he looks for no other.
Meister Eckhart
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart
Everything is meant to be lost, that the soul may stand in unhampered nothingness
Meister Eckhart
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Meister Eckhart
As God can only be seen by His own light, so He can only be loved by His own love.
Meister Eckhart
For then I knew my soul - every soul - has always held Him.
Meister Eckhart
God is at his greatest when I am at my least.
Meister Eckhart
Words derive their power from the original word.
Meister Eckhart
The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great or good if the inward is small or of little worth.
Meister Eckhart
No man was ever lost except for one reason: having once left his ground he has let himself become too permanently settled abroad.
Meister Eckhart
The Ultimate and Highest leave taking is leaving God for GOD, leaving your notion of God for an Experience of That which transcends all notions.
Meister Eckhart
