Image
There exists only the present instant... a Now which always and without end is itself new. There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now, as it was a thousand years ago and as it will be a thousand years hence.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The soul is created in a place between Time and Eternity: with its highest powers it touches Eternity, with its lower Time.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The more deeply we are our true selves, the less self is in us.
Meister Eckhart
Image
When I think of God's Kingdom, I am compelled to be silent because of its immensity, because God's Kingdom is none other than God himself with all His riches.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is nearer to me than I am to myself He is just as near to wood and stone, but they do not know it.
Meister Eckhart
Image
People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
Your own efforts did not bring it to pass, only God-but rejoice if God found a use for your efforts in His work.
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
I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
As God can only be seen by His own light, so He can only be loved by His own love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion
Meister Eckhart
Image
Everything is meant to be lost, that the soul may stand in unhampered nothingness
Meister Eckhart
Image
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
Meister Eckhart
Image
What good is it to me that Mary gave birth to the son of God fourteen hundred years ago, and I do not also give birth to the Son of God in my time and in my culture? We are all meant to be mothers of God. God is always needing to be born.
