There is nothing so much like God in all the universe as silence.
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.

A pure heart is one that is unencumbered, unworried, uncommitted and which does not want its own way about anything but which, rather, is submerged in the loving will of God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
A life of rest and peace in God is good a life of pain lived in patience is still better but to have peace in a life of pain is best of all.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Only those who have dared to let go can dare to re-enter.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The very best and highest attainment in this life is to remain still and let God act and speak in you.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The most powerful prayer, one wellnigh omnipotent, and the worthiest work of all is the outcome of a quiet mind. The quieter it is the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is.
Meister Eckhart
Image
In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Everything is meant to be lost, that the soul may stand in unhampered nothingness
