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.

More quotes by Meister Eckhart
God is at home. We are in the far country.
Meister Eckhart
Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the truth and let God go.
Meister Eckhart
When the Soul wants to experience something she throws out an image in front of her and then steps into it.
Meister Eckhart
To the quiet mind all things are possible.
Meister Eckhart
God cannot know himself without me.
Meister Eckhart
Now rejoice, all ye powers of my soul, that you are so united with God that no one may separate you from Him. I cannot fully praise nor love Him therefore must I die, and cast myself into the divine void, till I rise from non-existence to existence.
Meister Eckhart
Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it.
Meister Eckhart
Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy, but we may make it holy.
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
Every creature is a word of God.
Meister Eckhart
Therefore, look only for this fishhook, and you will be happily caught. The more you are caught, the more you will be liberated.
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
The first measn by which He draws is affinity, that affinity which brings creatures of the same species together, and like to its like. With this cord of affinity He drew men to the Godhead, Whom He always resembles. In order that God may draw more to Himself, and forget His wrath.
Meister Eckhart
God is not good, or else he could do better.
Meister Eckhart
When someone goes out of himself to find God or fetch God, he is wrong.
Meister Eckhart
The soul loves the body. And consider too how it is that the body is more in the soul than the soul is in the body.
Meister Eckhart
Grace pours all beauty into the soul ... The soul means the world.
Meister Eckhart
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
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Meister Eckhart
In my breaking through...I transcend all creatures and am neither God nor creature...for in this breaking through I find that God and I are both the same.
Meister Eckhart
