Meister Eckhart
Image
Every creature is a word of God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The man who has submitted his will and purposes entirely to God, carries God with him in all his works and in all circumstances.
Meister Eckhart
Image
For the person who has learned to let go and let be, nothing can ever get in the way again.
Meister Eckhart
Image
This much is certain: when a man is happy, happy to the core and root of beatitude, he is no longer conscious of himself or anything else.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it.

Image
For then I knew my soul - every soul - has always held Him.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The soul is created in a place between Time and Eternity: with its highest powers it touches Eternity, with its lower Time.
Meister Eckhart
Image
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The more we have the less we own.
Meister Eckhart

I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
People who have let go of themselves are so pure that the world cannot harm them.
Meister Eckhart

If anyone went on for a thousand years asking of life: 'Why are you living?' life, if it could answer, would only say, 'I live so that I may live.' That is because life lives out of its own ground and springs from its own source, and so it lives without asking why it is itself living.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
For a heart to be perfectly ready it has to be perfectly empty. In this condition it has attained its maximum capacity.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God cannot know himself without me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy but we may make it holy. However “sacred” a calling may be, as it is a calling, it has no power to sanctify.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time: and not only time but temporalities, not only temporal things but temporal affections, not only temporal affections but the very taint and smell of time.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
God is at home. We are in the far country.
