There is no greater valor nor no sterner fight. He who would be what he ought to be must stop being what he is.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
Through the higher love the whole life of man is to be elevated from temporal selfishness to the spring of all love, to God: man will again be master over nature by abiding in God and lifting her up to God.

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
Image
The soul will bring forth Person if God laughs into her and she laughs back to him. To speak in parable, the Father laughs into the Son and the Son laughs back to the Father and this laughter breeds liking and liking breeds joy, and joy begets love, and love begets Person, and Person begets the Holy Ghost.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The soul is created in a place between Time and Eternity: with its highest powers it touches Eternity, with its lower Time.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
A life of rest and peace in God is good a life of pain lived in patience is still better but to have peace in a life of pain is best of all.
Meister Eckhart
Image
No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion
Meister Eckhart
Image
No man was ever lost except for one reason: having once left his ground he has let himself become too permanently settled abroad.
Meister Eckhart
Image
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart
Image
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
As God can only be seen by His own light, so He can only be loved by His own love.
