Let God operate in thee Hand the work over to Him and do not disquiet thyself as to whether or no He is working with nature or above nature, for His are both nature and grace.

More quotes by Meister Eckhart
God is nearer to me than I am to myself He is just as near to wood and stone, but they do not know it.
Meister Eckhart
The Father and the Son have one Will, and that Will is the Holy Ghost, Who gives Himself to the soul so that the Divine Nature permeates the powers of the soul so that it can only do God-like works.
Meister Eckhart
A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.
Meister Eckhart
God cannot know himself without me.
Meister Eckhart
Action and becoming are one.
Meister Eckhart
For then I knew my soul - every soul - has always held Him.
Meister Eckhart
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
Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!
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
And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.
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
To the quiet mind all things are possible.
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
The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great or good if the inward is small or of little worth.
Meister Eckhart
No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion
Meister Eckhart
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
It is a fair trade and an equal exchange: to the extent that you depart from things, thus far, no more and no less, God enters into you with all that is his, as far as you have stripped yourself of yourself in all things. It is here that you should begin, whatever the cost, for it is here that you will find true peace, and nowhere else.
Meister Eckhart
It is not by your actions that you will be saved, but by your being.
Meister Eckhart
God wants nothing from you but the gift of a peaceful heart.
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
