Image
To be sure, our mental processes often go wrong, so that we imagine God to have gone away. What should be done then? Do exactly what you would do if you felt most secure. Learn to behave thus even in deepest distress and keep yourself that way in any and every estate of life. I can give you no better advice than to find God where you lost him.
Meister Eckhart
Image
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
Meister Eckhart
Image
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!
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
The Father and the Son have one Will, and that Will is the Holy Ghost, Who gives Himself to the soul so that the Divine Nature permeates the powers of the soul so that it can only do God-like works.

Meister Eckhart
Image
What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
Meister Eckhart
Image
There exists only the present instant... a Now which always and without end is itself new. There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now, as it was a thousand years ago and as it will be a thousand years hence.
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
He is conscious only of God...To be conscious of knowing God is to know about God and self.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, secretly all nature seeks God and works toward [God].
Meister Eckhart
Image
The soul is created in a place between Time and Eternity: with its highest powers it touches Eternity, with its lower Time.
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
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
Image
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.
