More quotes by Meister Eckhart
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
Meister Eckhart
To the quiet mind all things are possible.
Meister Eckhart
The soul loves the body. And consider too how it is that the body is more in the soul than the soul is in the body.
Meister Eckhart
To the extent that you eliminate ego from your activities, God comes into them - but no more and no less. Begin with that, and let it cost you your uttermost. In this way, and no other, is true peace to be found.
Meister Eckhart
We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity... But if it takes not place in me, what avails it? Everything lies in this, that it should take place in 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
Relation is the essence of everything that exists.
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
I will be silent and will hear what God will say in me...If God wishes to speak to me, let him enter. I will not go out.
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
To be properly expressed a thing must proceed from within, moved by its form: it must come, not in from without but out from within.
Meister Eckhart
As long as I am this or that, or have this or that, I am not all things and I have not all things. Become pure till you neither are nor have either this or that then you are omnipresent and, being neither this nor that, are all things.
Meister Eckhart
Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the truth and let God go.
Meister Eckhart
The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.
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
Above all else, know this: Be prepared at all times for the gifts of God and be ready always for new ones. For God is a thousand times more ready to give than we are to receive
Meister Eckhart
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Meister Eckhart
God is not good, or else he could do better.
Meister Eckhart
Where intuition finds, love follows, and memory and all the soul as well.
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
