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

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
Image
If I say that God is good, that is not true. God is not good. I am good, and if I say that God is wise, that is not true. I am wiser than he is.
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

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

He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
Meister Eckhart
Image
This much is certain: when a man is happy, happy to the core and root of beatitude, he is no longer conscious of himself or anything else.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is at his greatest when I am at my least.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.
Meister Eckhart
Image
When someone goes out of himself to find God or fetch God, he is wrong.
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
Every creature is a word of God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
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
