Image
If you seek the kernel, then you must break the shell. An likewise, if you would know the reality of Nature, you must destroy the appearance, and the farther you go beyond the appearance, the nearer you will be to the essence.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Jesus might have said, I became man for you. If you do not become God for me, you wrong me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is at his greatest when I am at my least.
Meister Eckhart
Image
If you love yourself, you love everybody else as you do yourself. As long as you love another person less than you love yourself, you will not really succeed in loving yourself but if you love all alike, including yourself, you will love them as one person and that person is both God and man.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Where intuition finds, love follows, and memory and all the soul as well.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Let God work in you, give the work to God, and have peace. Don't worry if He works through your nature or above your nature, because both are His, nature and grace.
Meister Eckhart
Image
There is no greater valor nor no sterner fight. He who would be what he ought to be must stop being what he is.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is like a person who clears his throat while hiding and so gives himself away. God lies in wait for us with nothing so much as love.
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
Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love Him as they love a cow - for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it.
Meister Eckhart
Image
A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.
Meister Eckhart
Image
What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
Meister Eckhart
Image
People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are. If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant... it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
Relation is the essence of everything that exists.
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
The beast that bears you fastest to perfection is suffering.
Meister Eckhart
Image
When a man sees the one in all things, he is above mere understanding.
