Image
He is conscious only of God...To be conscious of knowing God is to know about God and self.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.
Meister Eckhart
Image
No one is forgotten. It is a lie, any talk of God that does not comfort you.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, secretly all nature seeks God and works toward [God].
Meister Eckhart
Image
The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
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
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
Image
He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
Meister Eckhart
Image
There is nothing so much like God in all the universe as silence.
Meister Eckhart
Image
...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
Image
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
Image
Grace pours all beauty into the soul ... The soul means the world.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Action and becoming are one.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
Meister Eckhart
Image
I am what I wanted and I want what I am.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Jesus might have said, I became man for you. If you do not become God for me, you wrong me.
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
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
Image
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.
