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
You will have peace to the extent that you have God, and the further you are away from God the less you will be at peace... Thus you may measure your progress with God by measuring your peace or the lack of it.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Words derive their power from the original word.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off he is always standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no further than the door.
Meister Eckhart
Image
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart

A life of rest and peace in God is good a life of pain lived in patience is still better but to have peace in a life of pain is best of all.

What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.

Meister Eckhart
Image
God wants nothing from you but the gift of a peaceful heart.
Meister Eckhart
Image
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Through the higher love the whole life of man is to be elevated from temporal selfishness to the spring of all love, to God: man will again be master over nature by abiding in God and lifting her up to God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
When a man sees the one in all things, he is above mere understanding.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is intelligence occupied with knowing itself.
Meister Eckhart
Image
In my breaking through...I transcend all creatures and am neither God nor creature...for in this breaking through I find that God and I are both the same.
Meister Eckhart
