More quotes by Meister Eckhart
The most powerful prayer, one wellnigh omnipotent, and the worthiest work of all is the outcome of a quiet mind. The quieter it is the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is.
Meister Eckhart
The first measn by which He draws is affinity, that affinity which brings creatures of the same species together, and like to its like. With this cord of affinity He drew men to the Godhead, Whom He always resembles. In order that God may draw more to Himself, and forget His wrath.
Meister Eckhart
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
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
I tell you the truth, any object you have in your mind, however good, will be a barrier between you and the inmost Truth.
Meister Eckhart
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
Through the higher love the whole life of man is to be elevated from temporal selfishness to the spring of all love, to God: man will again be master over nature by abiding in God and lifting her up to God.
Meister Eckhart
Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.
Meister Eckhart
God is intelligence occupied with knowing itself.
Meister Eckhart
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
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
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
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
In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity.
Meister Eckhart
Where intuition finds, love follows, and memory and all the soul as well.
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
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart
Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy but we may make it holy. However “sacred” a calling may be, as it is a calling, it has no power to sanctify.
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
