God is intelligence occupied with knowing itself.
Meister Eckhart
Image
This much is certain: when a man is happy, happy to the core and root of beatitude, he is no longer conscious of himself or anything else.
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
Image
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
No one is forgotten. It is a lie, any talk of God that does not comfort you.
Meister Eckhart
Image
He is conscious only of God...To be conscious of knowing God is to know about God and self.
Meister Eckhart
