Quote

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.

Image
Jesus might have said, I became man for you. If you do not become God for me, you wrong me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The most powerful prayer, one wellnigh omnipotent, and the worthiest work of all is the outcome of a quiet mind. The quieter it is the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
I maintain that all sorrow comes from love of those things of which loss deprives me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
For the person who has learned to let go and let be, nothing can ever get in the way again.
Meister Eckhart
Image
To be sure, our mental processes often go wrong, so that we imagine God to have gone away. What should be done then? Do exactly what you would do if you felt most secure. Learn to behave thus even in deepest distress and keep yourself that way in any and every estate of life. I can give you no better advice than to find God where you lost him.
Meister Eckhart
Image
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
Your own efforts did not bring it to pass, only God-but rejoice if God found a use for your efforts in His work.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There is nothing so much like God in all the universe as silence.
Meister Eckhart
Image
It is not by your actions that you will be saved, but by your being.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Relation is the essence of everything that exists.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The first measn by which He draws is affinity, that affinity which brings creatures of the same species together, and like to its like. With this cord of affinity He drew men to the Godhead, Whom He always resembles. In order that God may draw more to Himself, and forget His wrath.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Everything is meant to be lost, that the soul may stand in unhampered nothingness
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
I will be silent and will hear what God will say in me...If God wishes to speak to me, let him enter. I will not go out.
Meister Eckhart
