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
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart

The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great or good if the inward is small or of little worth.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Through the higher love the whole life of man is to be elevated from temporal selfishness to the spring of all love, to God: man will again be master over nature by abiding in God and lifting her up to God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
Meister Eckhart
Image
People who have let go of themselves are so pure that the world cannot harm them.
Meister Eckhart
