More quotes by Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
God is at home. We are in the far country.
Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
Let God work in you, give the work to God, and have peace. Don't worry if He works through your nature or above your nature, because both are His, nature and grace.
Meister Eckhart
I am what I wanted and I want what I am.
Meister Eckhart
Action and becoming are one.
Meister Eckhart
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Meister Eckhart
The man who has submitted his will and purposes entirely to God, carries God with him in all his works and in all circumstances.

When the Soul wants to experience something she throws out an image in front of her and then steps into it.
Meister Eckhart
