More quotes by Meister Eckhart
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
Whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, secretly all nature seeks God and works toward [God].
Meister Eckhart
God is like a person who clears his throat while hiding and so gives himself away. God lies in wait for us with nothing so much as love.
Meister Eckhart
God holds each of us by a string. When we sin, we cut the string. But God ties it up again, making a knot. Each time our wrongdoing cuts the string, God ties another knot drawing us up closer to Him.
Meister Eckhart
Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.
Meister Eckhart
The soul must long for God in order to be set aflame by God's love but if the soul cannot yet feel the longing, then it must long for the longing. To long for the longing is also from God.
Meister Eckhart
A pure heart is one that is unencumbered, unworried, uncommitted and which does not want its own way about anything but which, rather, is submerged in the loving will of God.
Meister Eckhart
...Where and when God finds you ready, he must act and overflow into you, just as when the air is clear and pure, the sun must overflow into it and cannot refrain from doing that.
Meister Eckhart
There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created.
Meister Eckhart
The soul does not grow by addition but by subtraction.
Meister Eckhart
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
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Meister Eckhart
If you love yourself, you love everybody else as you do yourself. As long as you love another person less than you love yourself, you will not really succeed in loving yourself but if you love all alike, including yourself, you will love them as one person and that person is both God and man.
Meister Eckhart
The more we have the less we own.
Meister Eckhart
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
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
When the Soul wants to experience something she throws out an image in front of her and then steps into it.
Meister Eckhart
It is a fair trade and an equal exchange: to the extent that you depart from things, thus far, no more and no less, God enters into you with all that is his, as far as you have stripped yourself of yourself in all things. It is here that you should begin, whatever the cost, for it is here that you will find true peace, and nowhere else.
Meister Eckhart
The love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.
Meister Eckhart
I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
Meister Eckhart
