To be properly expressed a thing must proceed from within, moved by its form: it must come, not in from without but out from within.

More quotes by Meister Eckhart
Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.
Meister Eckhart
If the seal is pressed completely through the wax so that no wax remains without being impressed by the seal, then it becomes indistinguishably one with the seal. Similarly the soul becomes completely united with God.
Meister Eckhart
A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.
Meister Eckhart
God is bound to act, to pour himself out (into thee) as soon as ever he shall find thee ready.
Meister Eckhart
It is not by your actions that you will be saved, but by your being.
Meister Eckhart
Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.
Meister Eckhart
The more deeply we are our true selves, the less self is in us.
Meister Eckhart
What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.
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
All that the Eternal Father teaches and reveals is His being, His nature, and His Godhead, which He manifests to us in His Son, and teaches us that we are also His Son.
Meister Eckhart
There exists only the present instant ... There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now.
Meister Eckhart
If anyone went on for a thousand years asking of life: 'Why are you living?' life, if it could answer, would only say, 'I live so that I may live.' That is because life lives out of its own ground and springs from its own source, and so it lives without asking why it is itself living.
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
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
Action and becoming are one.
Meister Eckhart
For the person who has learned to let go and let be, nothing can ever get in the way again.
Meister Eckhart
What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
Meister Eckhart
The beast that bears you fastest to perfection is suffering.
Meister Eckhart
Whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, secretly all nature seeks God and works toward [God].
Meister Eckhart
Let God operate in thee Hand the work over to Him and do not disquiet thyself as to whether or no He is working with nature or above nature, for His are both nature and grace.
Meister Eckhart
