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
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
Image
God is bound to act, to pour himself out (into thee) as soon as ever he shall find thee ready.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Where intuition finds, love follows, and memory and all the soul as well.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Now rejoice, all ye powers of my soul, that you are so united with God that no one may separate you from Him. I cannot fully praise nor love Him therefore must I die, and cast myself into the divine void, till I rise from non-existence to existence.
Meister Eckhart

Everything is meant to be lost, that the soul may stand in unhampered nothingness
Meister Eckhart

When someone goes out of himself to find God or fetch God, he is wrong.
Meister Eckhart

What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
The seed of God is in us. If the seed had a good, wise and industrious cultivator, it would thrive all the more and grow up to God whose seed it is, and the fruit would be equal to the nature of God. Now the seed of a pear tree grows into a pear tree, a hazel seed into a hazel tree, and the seed of God into God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
To seek God by rituals is to get the ritual and lose God in the process
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
Therefore, look only for this fishhook, and you will be happily caught. The more you are caught, the more you will be liberated.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Every creature is a word of God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Action and becoming are one.
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
I may err but I am not a heretic, for the first has to do with the mind and the second with the will!
Meister Eckhart
Image
Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!
Meister Eckhart
Image
What good is it that Christ was born [2,000] years ago if he is not born now in your heart?
