More quotes by Meister Eckhart
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
People who have let go of themselves are so pure that the world cannot harm them.
Meister Eckhart
If you seek the kernel, then you must break the shell. An likewise, if you would know the reality of Nature, you must destroy the appearance, and the farther you go beyond the appearance, the nearer you will be to the essence.
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
There are plenty to follow our Lord half-way, but not the other half. They will give up possessions, friends and honors, but it touches them to closely to disown themselves.
Meister Eckhart
I tell you the truth, any object you have in your mind, however good, will be a barrier between you and the inmost Truth.
Meister Eckhart
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart
What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.
Meister Eckhart
There is nothing so much like God in all the universe as silence.
Meister Eckhart
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart
Every creature is a word of God.
Meister Eckhart
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
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
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
For the person who has learned to let go and let be, nothing can ever get in the way again.
Meister Eckhart
The Father and the Son have one Will, and that Will is the Holy Ghost, Who gives Himself to the soul so that the Divine Nature permeates the powers of the soul so that it can only do God-like works.
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
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
For then I knew my soul - every soul - has always held Him.
Meister Eckhart
Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time: and not only time but temporalities, not only temporal things but temporal affections, not only temporal affections but the very taint and smell of time.
Meister Eckhart
