Image
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

Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.
Meister Eckhart

A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.

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

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.

Image
The more we have the less we own.
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
As God can only be seen by His own light, so He can only be loved by His own love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is at his greatest when I am at my least.
Meister Eckhart
Image
He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
