There exists only the present instant ... There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Only those who have dared to let go can dare to re-enter.
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
There is no greater valor nor no sterner fight. He who would be what he ought to be must stop being what he is.
Meister Eckhart
Image
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is at his greatest when I am at my least.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The man who has submitted his will and purposes entirely to God, carries God with him in all his works and in all circumstances.
Meister Eckhart
Image
This is my only and permanent complaint, that vulgar people, empty of the Spirit of God, want to judge solely by their human thinking what they listen to or read in the Bible, which has been pronounced and written by the Holy Spirit and in the Holy Spirit.
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
People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are. If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant... it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Philosophers say the Soul is double-faced, her upper face gazes at God all the time and her lower face looks somewhat down, informing the senses and the upper face, which is the summit of the soul, is in eternity and has nothing to do with time: it knows nothing of time or of body.
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
To seek God by rituals is to get the ritual and lose God in the process
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. However “sacred” a calling may be, as it is a calling, it has no power to sanctify.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The Ultimate and Highest leave taking is leaving God for GOD, leaving your notion of God for an Experience of That which transcends all notions.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The outward man is the swinging door the inner man is the still hinge.
Meister Eckhart
Image
What good is it that Christ was born [2,000] years ago if he is not born now in your heart?
Meister Eckhart
Image
He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
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
When a man sees the one in all things, he is above mere understanding.
Meister Eckhart
