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.
Meister Eckhart
Image
If I had a friend and loved him because of the benefits which this brought me and because of getting my own way, then it would not be my friend that I loved but myself. I should love my friend on account of his own goodness and virtues and account of all that he is in himself. Only if I love my friend in this way do I love him properly.
Meister Eckhart
Image

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
Image
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart
Image
I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is in all things, but so far as God is Divine and so far as He is rational, God is nowhere so properly as in the soul - in the innermost of the soul
Meister Eckhart
Image
The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
No one is forgotten. It is a lie, any talk of God that does not comfort you.
Meister Eckhart
