God is not good, or else he could do better.
Meister Eckhart
People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.
Meister Eckhart
The more we have the less we own.
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
Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!
Meister Eckhart
It is not by your actions that you will be saved, but by your being.
Meister Eckhart
There exists only the present instant ... There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now.
Meister Eckhart
To the quiet mind all things are possible.
Meister Eckhart
Now rejoice, all ye powers of my soul, that you are so united with God that no one may separate you from Him. I cannot fully praise nor love Him therefore must I die, and cast myself into the divine void, till I rise from non-existence to existence.
Meister Eckhart
...Where and when God finds you ready, he must act and overflow into you, just as when the air is clear and pure, the sun must overflow into it and cannot refrain from doing that.
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
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
Meister Eckhart
If I had a friend and loved him because of the benefits which this brought me and because of getting my own way, then it would not be my friend that I loved but myself. I should love my friend on account of his own goodness and virtues and account of all that he is in himself. Only if I love my friend in this way do I love him properly.
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.
Meister Eckhart
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.
Meister Eckhart
Therefore, look only for this fishhook, and you will be happily caught. The more you are caught, the more you will be liberated.
Meister Eckhart
I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
Meister Eckhart
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
God is intelligence occupied with knowing itself.
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
