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
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
Philosophers say the Soul is double-faced, her upper face gazes at God all the time and her lower face looks somewhat down, informing the senses and the upper face, which is the summit of the soul, is in eternity and has nothing to do with time: it knows nothing of time or of body.
Meister Eckhart
Image
If anyone went on for a thousand years asking of life: 'Why are you living?' life, if it could answer, would only say, 'I live so that I may live.' That is because life lives out of its own ground and springs from its own source, and so it lives without asking why it is itself living.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The man who has submitted his will and purposes entirely to God, carries God with him in all his works and in all circumstances.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
I am what I wanted and I want what I am.
Meister Eckhart
Image
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Where intuition finds, love follows, and memory and all the soul as well.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Everything is meant to be lost, that the soul may stand in unhampered nothingness
Meister Eckhart
Image
In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The beast that bears you fastest to perfection is suffering.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the truth and let God go.
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
As God can only be seen by His own light, so He can only be loved by His own love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The soul does not grow by addition but by subtraction.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Let God work in you, give the work to God, and have peace. Don't worry if He works through your nature or above your nature, because both are His, nature and grace.
Meister Eckhart
