More quotes by Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off he is always standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no further than the door.
Meister Eckhart
I will be silent and will hear what God will say in me...If God wishes to speak to me, let him enter. I will not go out.
Meister Eckhart
God is at his greatest when I am at my least.
Meister Eckhart
The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.

Meister Eckhart
I maintain that all sorrow comes from love of those things of which loss deprives me.
Meister Eckhart
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
The soul does not grow by addition but by subtraction.
Meister Eckhart
A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.
