When someone goes out of himself to find God or fetch God, he is wrong.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The beast that bears you fastest to perfection is suffering.
Meister Eckhart
Image
When I think of God's Kingdom, I am compelled to be silent because of its immensity, because God's Kingdom is none other than God himself with all His riches.
Meister Eckhart
Image
I will be silent and will hear what God will say in me...If God wishes to speak to me, let him enter. I will not go out.
Meister Eckhart

And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.
Meister Eckhart
Image
To seek God by rituals is to get the ritual and lose God in the process
Meister Eckhart

People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The seed of God is in us. If the seed had a good, wise and industrious cultivator, it would thrive all the more and grow up to God whose seed it is, and the fruit would be equal to the nature of God. Now the seed of a pear tree grows into a pear tree, a hazel seed into a hazel tree, and the seed of God into God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
When a man sees the one in all things, he is above mere understanding.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
All that the Eternal Father teaches and reveals is His being, His nature, and His Godhead, which He manifests to us in His Son, and teaches us that we are also His Son.
Meister Eckhart
Image
What good is it that Christ was born [2,000] years ago if he is not born now in your heart?
Meister Eckhart
Image
Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time: and not only time but temporalities, not only temporal things but temporal affections, not only temporal affections but the very taint and smell of time.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The outward man is the swinging door the inner man is the still hinge.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God cannot know himself without me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created.
Meister Eckhart
Image
When the Soul wants to experience something she throws out an image in front of her and then steps into it.
Meister Eckhart
Image
In this breaking-through, I receive that God and I are one. Then I am what I was, and then I neither diminish nor increase, for I am then an immovable cause that moves all things.
Meister Eckhart
Image
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
Meister Eckhart
Image
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart
