More quotes by 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
When someone goes out of himself to find God or fetch God, he is wrong.
Meister Eckhart
God is like a person who clears his throat while hiding and so gives himself away. God lies in wait for us with nothing so much as love.
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
What good is it that Christ was born [2,000] years ago if he is not born now in your heart?
Meister Eckhart
Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
Meister Eckhart
God is at home. We are in the far country.
Meister Eckhart
This much is certain: when a man is happy, happy to the core and root of beatitude, he is no longer conscious of himself or anything else.
Meister Eckhart
I may err but I am not a heretic, for the first has to do with the mind and the second with the will!
Meister Eckhart
To be sure, our mental processes often go wrong, so that we imagine God to have gone away. What should be done then? Do exactly what you would do if you felt most secure. Learn to behave thus even in deepest distress and keep yourself that way in any and every estate of life. I can give you no better advice than to find God where you lost him.
Meister Eckhart
God is at his greatest when I am at my least.
Meister Eckhart
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart
The man who has submitted his will and purposes entirely to God, carries God with him in all his works and in all circumstances.
Meister Eckhart
There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created.
Meister Eckhart
There is no greater valor nor no sterner fight. He who would be what he ought to be must stop being what he is.
Meister Eckhart
The seed of God is in us: Pear seeds grow into pear trees Hazel seeds into hazel trees And God seeds into God.
Meister Eckhart
There is nothing so much like God in all the universe as silence.
Meister Eckhart
No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion
Meister Eckhart
A life of rest and peace in God is good a life of pain lived in patience is still better but to have peace in a life of pain is best of all.
Meister Eckhart
God holds each of us by a string. When we sin, we cut the string. But God ties it up again, making a knot. Each time our wrongdoing cuts the string, God ties another knot drawing us up closer to Him.
