If anyone went on for a thousand years asking of life: 'Why are you living?' life, if it could answer, would only say, 'I live so that I may live.' That is because life lives out of its own ground and springs from its own source, and so it lives without asking why it is itself living.
Meister Eckhart

Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!
Meister Eckhart

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
What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
The love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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.

Action and becoming are one.

People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
