More quotes by Meister Eckhart
What good is it that Christ was born [2,000] years ago if he is not born now in your heart?
Meister Eckhart
Only those who have dared to let go can dare to re-enter.
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
One person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who have mastered only the contents of books, but no one can get anything out of life without God.
Meister Eckhart
I maintain that all sorrow comes from love of those things of which loss deprives me.
Meister Eckhart
When the Soul wants to experience something she throws out an image in front of her and then steps into it.
Meister Eckhart
A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.
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
He who can make distinction in God without number or quantity, knows that the three persons of the Trinity are one God.
Meister Eckhart
For a heart to be perfectly ready it has to be perfectly empty. In this condition it has attained its maximum capacity.
Meister Eckhart
The outward man is the swinging door the inner man is the still hinge.
Meister Eckhart
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.
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
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
People who have let go of themselves are so pure that the world cannot harm them.
Meister Eckhart
What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
Meister Eckhart
This is my only and permanent complaint, that vulgar people, empty of the Spirit of God, want to judge solely by their human thinking what they listen to or read in the Bible, which has been pronounced and written by the Holy Spirit and in the Holy Spirit.
Meister Eckhart
The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees 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
What good is it to me that Mary gave birth to the son of God fourteen hundred years ago, and I do not also give birth to the Son of God in my time and in my culture? We are all meant to be mothers of God. God is always needing to be born.
Meister Eckhart
