More quotes by Meister Eckhart
God cannot know himself without me.
Meister Eckhart
No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion
Meister Eckhart
If I had a friend and loved him because of the benefits which this brought me and because of getting my own way, then it would not be my friend that I loved but myself. I should love my friend on account of his own goodness and virtues and account of all that he is in himself. Only if I love my friend in this way do I love him properly.
Meister Eckhart
Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.
Meister Eckhart
I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
Meister Eckhart
In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity.
Meister Eckhart
I am what I wanted and I want what I am.
Meister Eckhart
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart
Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.
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
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
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Meister Eckhart
He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
Meister Eckhart
Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
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
Relation is the essence of everything that exists.
Meister Eckhart
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it.
Meister Eckhart
If the seal is pressed completely through the wax so that no wax remains without being impressed by the seal, then it becomes indistinguishably one with the seal. Similarly the soul becomes completely united with God.
Meister Eckhart
To seek God by rituals is to get the ritual and lose God in the process
