More quotes by Meister Eckhart
Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it.
Meister Eckhart
As God can only be seen by His own light, so He can only be loved by His own love.
Meister Eckhart
If you love yourself, you love everybody else as you do yourself. As long as you love another person less than you love yourself, you will not really succeed in loving yourself but if you love all alike, including yourself, you will love them as one person and that person is both God and man.
Meister Eckhart
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
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
Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!
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
Only those who have dared to let go can dare to re-enter.
Meister Eckhart
Your own efforts did not bring it to pass, only God-but rejoice if God found a use for your efforts in His work.
Meister Eckhart
We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity... But if it takes not place in me, what avails it? Everything lies in this, that it should take place in me.
Meister Eckhart
I am what I wanted and I want what I am.
Meister Eckhart
Everything is meant to be lost, that the soul may stand in unhampered nothingness
Meister Eckhart
The love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.
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
Every creature is a word of God.
Meister Eckhart
There are plenty to follow our Lord half-way, but not the other half. They will give up possessions, friends and honors, but it touches them to closely to disown themselves.
Meister Eckhart
He is conscious only of God...To be conscious of knowing God is to know about God and self.
Meister Eckhart
God is not good, or else he could do better.
Meister Eckhart
God is in all things, but so far as God is Divine and so far as He is rational, God is nowhere so properly as in the soul - in the innermost of the soul
Meister Eckhart
The seed of God is in us: Pear seeds grow into pear trees Hazel seeds into hazel trees And God seeds into God.
Meister Eckhart
