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
As long as I am this or that, or have this or that, I am not all things and I have not all things. Become pure till you neither are nor have either this or that then you are omnipresent and, being neither this nor that, are all things.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Where intuition finds, love follows, and memory and all the soul as well.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Every creature is a word of God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
To walk on not wondering am I right or doing something wrong.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is not good, or else he could do better.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is at home. We are in the far country.
Meister Eckhart
Image
This is my only and permanent complaint, that vulgar people, empty of the Spirit of God, want to judge solely by their human thinking what they listen to or read in the Bible, which has been pronounced and written by the Holy Spirit and in the Holy Spirit.
Meister Eckhart
Image
I maintain that all sorrow comes from love of those things of which loss deprives me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Let God work in you, give the work to God, and have peace. Don't worry if He works through your nature or above your nature, because both are His, nature and grace.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God wants nothing from you but the gift of a peaceful heart.
Meister Eckhart
Image
A pure heart is one that is unencumbered, unworried, uncommitted and which does not want its own way about anything but which, rather, is submerged in the loving will of God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The very best and highest attainment in this life is to remain still and let God act and speak in you.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Knowledge comes through likeness. And so because the soul may know everything, it is never at rest until it comes to the original idea, in which all things are one. And there it comes to rest in God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
...Where and when God finds you ready, he must act and overflow into you, just as when the air is clear and pure, the sun must overflow into it and cannot refrain from doing that.
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.
Meister Eckhart
Image
For a heart to be perfectly ready it has to be perfectly empty. In this condition it has attained its maximum capacity.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
