More quotes by Meister Eckhart
And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.
Meister Eckhart
The seed of God is in us: Pear seeds grow into pear trees Hazel seeds into hazel trees And God seeds into God.
Meister Eckhart
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
God is not good, or else he could do better.
Meister Eckhart
What good is it to me that Mary gave birth to the son of God fourteen hundred years ago, and I do not also give birth to the Son of God in my time and in my culture? We are all meant to be mothers of God. God is always needing to be born.
Meister Eckhart
I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
Meister Eckhart
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart
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
...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
A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.
Meister Eckhart
Jesus might have said, I became man for you. If you do not become God for me, you wrong me.
Meister Eckhart
As God can only be seen by His own light, so He can only be loved by His own love.
Meister Eckhart
Wisdom consists in doing the next think you have to do, doing it with your whole heart, and finding delight in doing it.
Meister Eckhart
God is bound to act, to pour himself out (into thee) as soon as ever he shall find thee ready.
Meister Eckhart
There exists only the present instant ... There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now.
Meister Eckhart
There are plenty to follow our Lord half-way, but not the other half. They will give up possessions, friends and honors, but it touches them to closely to disown themselves.
Meister Eckhart
There exists only the present instant... a Now which always and without end is itself new. There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now, as it was a thousand years ago and as it will be a thousand years hence.
Meister Eckhart
Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
Meister Eckhart
The seed of God is in us. If the seed had a good, wise and industrious cultivator, it would thrive all the more and grow up to God whose seed it is, and the fruit would be equal to the nature of God. Now the seed of a pear tree grows into a pear tree, a hazel seed into a hazel tree, and the seed of God into God.
Meister Eckhart
When the Soul wants to experience something she throws out an image in front of her and then steps into it.
Meister Eckhart
