More quotes by Meister Eckhart
There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created.
Meister Eckhart
Your own efforts did not bring it to pass, only God-but rejoice if God found a use for your efforts in His work.
Meister Eckhart
For a heart to be perfectly ready it has to be perfectly empty. In this condition it has attained its maximum capacity.
Meister Eckhart
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
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.
Meister Eckhart
When I think of God's Kingdom, I am compelled to be silent because of its immensity, because God's Kingdom is none other than God himself with all His riches.
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
The soul is created in a place between Time and Eternity: with its highest powers it touches Eternity, with its lower Time.
Meister Eckhart
The soul must long for God in order to be set aflame by God's love but if the soul cannot yet feel the longing, then it must long for the longing. To long for the longing is also from God.
Meister Eckhart
A pure heart is one that is unencumbered, unworried, uncommitted and which does not want its own way about anything but which, rather, is submerged in the loving will of God.
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
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Meister Eckhart
What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
Meister Eckhart
God is at home. We are in the far country.
Meister Eckhart
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
God is bound to act, to pour himself out (into thee) as soon as ever he shall find thee ready.
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
God is nearer to me than I am to myself He is just as near to wood and stone, but they do not know it.
Meister Eckhart
Philosophers say the Soul is double-faced, her upper face gazes at God all the time and her lower face looks somewhat down, informing the senses and the upper face, which is the summit of the soul, is in eternity and has nothing to do with time: it knows nothing of time or of body.
