More quotes by Meister Eckhart
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart
A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.
Meister Eckhart
Every creature is a word of God.
Meister Eckhart
To walk on not wondering am I right or doing something wrong.
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
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart
I maintain that all sorrow comes from love of those things of which loss deprives me.
Meister Eckhart
The soul must long for God in order to be set aflame by God's love but if the soul cannot yet feel the longing, then it must long for the longing. To long for the longing is also from God.
Meister Eckhart
I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
Meister Eckhart
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
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
Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love Him as they love a cow - for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage.
Meister Eckhart
The more deeply we are our true selves, the less self is in us.
Meister Eckhart
You will have peace to the extent that you have God, and the further you are away from God the less you will be at peace... Thus you may measure your progress with God by measuring your peace or the lack of it.
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
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
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
There exists only the present instant ... There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now.
Meister Eckhart
People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.
Meister Eckhart
God is like a person who clears his throat while hiding and so gives himself away. God lies in wait for us with nothing so much as love.
Meister Eckhart
