More quotes by Meister Eckhart
Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!
Meister Eckhart
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
He is conscious only of God...To be conscious of knowing God is to know about God and self.
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
God is in all things, but so far as God is Divine and so far as He is rational, God is nowhere so properly as in the soul - in the innermost of the soul
Meister Eckhart
God is intelligence occupied with knowing itself.
Meister Eckhart
All that the Eternal Father teaches and reveals is His being, His nature, and His Godhead, which He manifests to us in His Son, and teaches us that we are also His Son.
Meister Eckhart
And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.
Meister Eckhart
Grace pours all beauty into the soul ... The soul means the world.
Meister Eckhart
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
I am what I wanted and I want what I am.
Meister Eckhart
God holds each of us by a string. When we sin, we cut the string. But God ties it up again, making a knot. Each time our wrongdoing cuts the string, God ties another knot drawing us up closer to Him.
Meister Eckhart
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart
No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion
Meister Eckhart
Jesus might have said, I became man for you. If you do not become God for me, you wrong me.
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
The love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.
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
Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.
Meister Eckhart
I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
Meister Eckhart
