If anyone went on for a thousand years asking of life: 'Why are you living?' life, if it could answer, would only say, 'I live so that I may live.' That is because life lives out of its own ground and springs from its own source, and so it lives without asking why it is itself living.
Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
Image
If you seek the kernel, then you must break the shell. An likewise, if you would know the reality of Nature, you must destroy the appearance, and the farther you go beyond the appearance, the nearer you will be to the essence.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The most important hour is always the present. The most significant person is precisely the one sitting across from you right now. The most necessary work is always love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The seed of God is in us: Pear seeds grow into pear trees Hazel seeds into hazel trees And God seeds into God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
For the person who has learned to let go and let be, nothing can ever get in the way again.
