More quotes by Meister Eckhart
What good is it to me that Mary gave birth to the son of God fourteen hundred years ago, and I do not also give birth to the Son of God in my time and in my culture? We are all meant to be mothers of God. God is always needing to be born.
Meister Eckhart
Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off he is always standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no further than the door.
Meister Eckhart
Action and becoming are one.
Meister Eckhart
If I had a friend and loved him because of the benefits which this brought me and because of getting my own way, then it would not be my friend that I loved but myself. I should love my friend on account of his own goodness and virtues and account of all that he is in himself. Only if I love my friend in this way do I love him properly.
Meister Eckhart
To be properly expressed a thing must proceed from within, moved by its form: it must come, not in from without but out from within.
Meister Eckhart
Words derive their power from the original word.
Meister Eckhart
Jesus might have said, I became man for you. If you do not become God for me, you wrong me.
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
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
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
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
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
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
Every creature is a word of God.
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
Let God operate in thee Hand the work over to Him and do not disquiet thyself as to whether or no He is working with nature or above nature, for His are both nature and grace.
Meister Eckhart
If I say that God is good, that is not true. God is not good. I am good, and if I say that God is wise, that is not true. I am wiser than he is.
Meister Eckhart
He is conscious only of God...To be conscious of knowing God is to know about God and self.
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
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
