It is not by your actions that you will be saved, but by your being.
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
Image
To walk on not wondering am I right or doing something wrong.
Meister Eckhart
Image
If you love yourself, you love everybody else as you do yourself. As long as you love another person less than you love yourself, you will not really succeed in loving yourself but if you love all alike, including yourself, you will love them as one person and that person is both God and man.

This is my only and permanent complaint, that vulgar people, empty of the Spirit of God, want to judge solely by their human thinking what they listen to or read in the Bible, which has been pronounced and written by the Holy Spirit and in the Holy Spirit.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
No one is forgotten. It is a lie, any talk of God that does not comfort you.
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

The soul does not grow by addition but by subtraction.
Meister Eckhart

In this breaking-through, I receive that God and I are one. Then I am what I was, and then I neither diminish nor increase, for I am then an immovable cause that moves all things.
Meister Eckhart
