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.

More quotes by Meister Eckhart
Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it.
Meister Eckhart
We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity... But if it takes not place in me, what avails it? Everything lies in this, that it should take place in me.
Meister Eckhart
I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
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
When I think of God's Kingdom, I am compelled to be silent because of its immensity, because God's Kingdom is none other than God himself with all His riches.
Meister Eckhart
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
God is intelligence occupied with knowing itself.
Meister Eckhart
Jesus might have said, I became man for you. If you do not become God for me, you wrong me.
Meister Eckhart
God is at his greatest when I am at my least.
Meister Eckhart
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
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
To seek God by rituals is to get the ritual and lose God in the process
Meister Eckhart
What good is it that Christ was born [2,000] years ago if he is not born now in your heart?
Meister Eckhart
For a heart to be perfectly ready it has to be perfectly empty. In this condition it has attained its maximum capacity.
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
He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
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
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Meister Eckhart
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
To the extent that you eliminate ego from your activities, God comes into them - but no more and no less. Begin with that, and let it cost you your uttermost. In this way, and no other, is true peace to be found.
Meister Eckhart
