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
Image
The very best and noblest attainment in this life is to be silent and let God work and speak within. Therefore it is said: 'In the midst of silence the secret word was spoken to me'.
Meister Eckhart
Image
To seek God by rituals is to get the ritual and lose God in the process
Meister Eckhart

Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the truth and let God go.
Meister Eckhart
Image
One person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who have mastered only the contents of books, but no one can get anything out of life without God.

What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love Him as they love a cow - for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Now rejoice, all ye powers of my soul, that you are so united with God that no one may separate you from Him. I cannot fully praise nor love Him therefore must I die, and cast myself into the divine void, till I rise from non-existence to existence.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The soul will bring forth Person if God laughs into her and she laughs back to him. To speak in parable, the Father laughs into the Son and the Son laughs back to the Father and this laughter breeds liking and liking breeds joy, and joy begets love, and love begets Person, and Person begets the Holy Ghost.
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
Wisdom consists in doing the next think you have to do, doing it with your whole heart, and finding delight in doing it.
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
There exists only the present instant... a Now which always and without end is itself new. There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now, as it was a thousand years ago and as it will be a thousand years hence.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The more deeply we are our true selves, the less self is in us.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The more we have the less we own.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Words derive their power from the original word.
Meister Eckhart

God cannot know himself without me.
