If the seal is pressed completely through the wax so that no wax remains without being impressed by the seal, then it becomes indistinguishably one with the seal. Similarly the soul becomes completely united with God.

More quotes by Meister Eckhart
People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.
Meister Eckhart
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
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
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
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
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
There exists only the present instant ... There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now.
Meister Eckhart
Relation is the essence of everything that exists.
Meister Eckhart
If you seek the kernel, then you must break the shell. An likewise, if you would know the reality of Nature, you must destroy the appearance, and the farther you go beyond the appearance, the nearer you will be to the essence.
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
I maintain that all sorrow comes from love of those things of which loss deprives me.
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
No one is forgotten. It is a lie, any talk of God that does not comfort you.
Meister Eckhart
Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it.
Meister Eckhart
The Ultimate and Highest leave taking is leaving God for GOD, leaving your notion of God for an Experience of That which transcends all notions.
Meister Eckhart
What good is it to me that Mary gave birth to the son of God fourteen hundred years ago, and I do not also give birth to the Son of God in my time and in my culture? We are all meant to be mothers of God. God is always needing to be born.
Meister Eckhart
I may err but I am not a heretic, for the first has to do with the mind and the second with the will!
Meister Eckhart
It is not by your actions that you will be saved, but by your being.
Meister Eckhart
Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love Him as they love a cow - for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage.
Meister Eckhart
Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
Meister Eckhart
