The most important hour is always the present. The most significant person is precisely the one sitting across from you right now. The most necessary work is always love.

More quotes by Meister Eckhart
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Meister Eckhart
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart
Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time: and not only time but temporalities, not only temporal things but temporal affections, not only temporal affections but the very taint and smell of time.
Meister Eckhart
God wants nothing from you but the gift of a peaceful heart.
Meister Eckhart
He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
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
Words derive their power from the original word.
Meister Eckhart
To the extent that you eliminate ego from your activities, God comes into them - but no more and no less. Begin with that, and let it cost you your uttermost. In this way, and no other, is true peace to be found.
Meister Eckhart
To the quiet mind all things are possible.
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
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
The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great or good if the inward is small or of little worth.
Meister Eckhart
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
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
No one is forgotten. It is a lie, any talk of God that does not comfort you.
Meister Eckhart
I maintain that all sorrow comes from love of those things of which loss deprives me.
Meister Eckhart
Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it.
Meister Eckhart
This much is certain: when a man is happy, happy to the core and root of beatitude, he is no longer conscious of himself or anything else.
Meister Eckhart
No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion
Meister Eckhart
God is bound to act, to pour himself out (into thee) as soon as ever he shall find thee ready.
Meister Eckhart
