For the person who has learned to let go and let be, nothing can ever get in the way again.
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
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

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
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
One person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who have mastered only the contents of books, but no one can get anything out of life without God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
To walk on not wondering am I right or doing something wrong.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
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
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, secretly all nature seeks God and works toward [God].
