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.

More quotes by 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
God is at his greatest when I am at my least.
Meister Eckhart
The Ultimate and Highest leave taking is leaving God for GOD, leaving your notion of God for an Experience of That which transcends all notions.
Meister Eckhart
A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.
Meister Eckhart
The very best and highest attainment in this life is to remain still and let God act and speak in you.
Meister Eckhart
Philosophers say the Soul is double-faced, her upper face gazes at God all the time and her lower face looks somewhat down, informing the senses and the upper face, which is the summit of the soul, is in eternity and has nothing to do with time: it knows nothing of time or of body.
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
Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!
Meister Eckhart
He who can make distinction in God without number or quantity, knows that the three persons of the Trinity are one God.
Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart
For then I knew my soul - every soul - has always held Him.
Meister Eckhart
Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
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
I tell you the truth, any object you have in your mind, however good, will be a barrier between you and the inmost Truth.
Meister Eckhart
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
The more deeply we are our true selves, the less self is in us.
Meister Eckhart
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
If you seek the kernel, then you must break the shell. An likewise, if you would know the reality of Nature, you must destroy the appearance, and the farther you go beyond the appearance, the nearer you will be to the essence.
