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
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
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
God wants nothing from you but the gift of a peaceful heart.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is in all things, but so far as God is Divine and so far as He is rational, God is nowhere so properly as in the soul - in the innermost of the soul
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is not good, or else he could do better.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is nearer to me than I am to myself He is just as near to wood and stone, but they do not know it.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.
Meister Eckhart
Image
One person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who have mastered only the contents of books, but no one can get anything out of life without God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is intelligence occupied with knowing itself.
Meister Eckhart
Image
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart
Image
For then I knew my soul - every soul - has always held Him.
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
When the Soul wants to experience something she throws out an image in front of her and then steps into it.
Meister Eckhart
Image
He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Action and becoming are one.
Meister Eckhart
Image
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
Meister Eckhart
