Image
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
Image
The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
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
As God can only be seen by His own light, so He can only be loved by His own love.
Meister Eckhart

The love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Everything is meant to be lost, that the soul may stand in unhampered nothingness
Meister Eckhart
Image
To seek God by rituals is to get the ritual and lose God in the process
Meister Eckhart
Image
There is nothing so much like God in all the universe as silence.
Meister Eckhart

Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the truth and let God go.
Meister Eckhart

Whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, secretly all nature seeks God and works toward [God].
Meister Eckhart
Image
For then I knew my soul - every soul - has always held Him.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
The soul must long for God in order to be set aflame by God's love but if the soul cannot yet feel the longing, then it must long for the longing. To long for the longing is also from God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
To be sure, our mental processes often go wrong, so that we imagine God to have gone away. What should be done then? Do exactly what you would do if you felt most secure. Learn to behave thus even in deepest distress and keep yourself that way in any and every estate of life. I can give you no better advice than to find God where you lost him.

People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.
