More quotes by 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.
Meister Eckhart
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
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
We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity... But if it takes not place in me, what avails it? Everything lies in this, that it should take place in me.
Meister Eckhart
There is nothing so much like God in all the universe as silence.
Meister Eckhart
People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.
Meister Eckhart
The love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.
Meister Eckhart
I am what I wanted and I want what I am.
Meister Eckhart
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart
If I say that God is good, that is not true. God is not good. I am good, and if I say that God is wise, that is not true. I am wiser than he is.
Meister Eckhart
It is not by your actions that you will be saved, but by your being.
Meister Eckhart
It is a fair trade and an equal exchange: to the extent that you depart from things, thus far, no more and no less, God enters into you with all that is his, as far as you have stripped yourself of yourself in all things. It is here that you should begin, whatever the cost, for it is here that you will find true peace, and nowhere else.
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
And so, too, I speak of love: he who is held by it is held by the strongest of bonds, and yet the stress is pleasant. Moreover, he can sweetly bear all that happens to him. When one has found this bond, he looks for no other.
Meister Eckhart
God is not good, or else he could do better.
Meister Eckhart
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
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
The soul must long for God in order to be set aflame by God's love but if the soul cannot yet feel the longing, then it must long for the longing. To long for the longing is also from God.
Meister Eckhart
No one is forgotten. It is a lie, any talk of God that does not comfort you.
Meister Eckhart
