More quotes by Meister Eckhart
Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time: and not only time but temporalities, not only temporal things but temporal affections, not only temporal affections but the very taint and smell of time.
Meister Eckhart
God is like a person who clears his throat while hiding and so gives himself away. God lies in wait for us with nothing so much as love.
Meister Eckhart
He who can make distinction in God without number or quantity, knows that the three persons of the Trinity are one God.
Meister Eckhart
No man was ever lost except for one reason: having once left his ground he has let himself become too permanently settled abroad.
Meister Eckhart
Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!
Meister Eckhart
To the quiet mind all things are possible.
Meister Eckhart
The more deeply we are our true selves, the less self is in us.
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
Action and becoming are one.
Meister Eckhart
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart
God is not good, or else he could do better.
Meister Eckhart
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.
Meister Eckhart
The soul will bring forth Person if God laughs into her and she laughs back to him. To speak in parable, the Father laughs into the Son and the Son laughs back to the Father and this laughter breeds liking and liking breeds joy, and joy begets love, and love begets Person, and Person begets the Holy Ghost.
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
Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
Meister Eckhart
The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.
Meister Eckhart
There is nothing so much like God in all the universe as silence.
Meister Eckhart
God is at home. We are in the far country.
Meister Eckhart
This much is certain: when a man is happy, happy to the core and root of beatitude, he is no longer conscious of himself or anything else.
Meister Eckhart
