More quotes by Meister Eckhart
As long as I am this or that, or have this or that, I am not all things and I have not all things. Become pure till you neither are nor have either this or that then you are omnipresent and, being neither this nor that, are all things.
Meister Eckhart
Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it.
Meister Eckhart
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
Meister Eckhart
In my breaking through...I transcend all creatures and am neither God nor creature...for in this breaking through I find that God and I are both the same.
Meister Eckhart
Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
Meister Eckhart
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
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
Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.
Meister Eckhart
No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion
Meister Eckhart
And so, too, I speak of love: he who is held by it is held by the strongest of bonds, and yet the stress is pleasant. Moreover, he can sweetly bear all that happens to him. When one has found this bond, he looks for no other.
Meister Eckhart
No man was ever lost except for one reason: having once left his ground he has let himself become too permanently settled abroad.
Meister Eckhart
To the quiet mind all things are possible.
Meister Eckhart
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
People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.
Meister Eckhart
What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
Meister Eckhart
Jesus might have said, I became man for you. If you do not become God for me, you wrong me.
Meister Eckhart
Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!
Meister Eckhart
The outward man is the swinging door the inner man is the still hinge.
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.
Meister Eckhart
God is at home. We are in the far country.
Meister Eckhart
