Image
To the quiet mind all things are possible.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is not good, or else he could do better.
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
When the Soul wants to experience something she throws out an image in front of her and then steps into it.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is like a person who clears his throat while hiding and so gives himself away. God lies in wait for us with nothing so much as love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity... But if it takes not place in me, what avails it? Everything lies in this, that it should take place in me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
There is nothing so much like God in all the universe as silence.
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
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart

Everything is meant to be lost, that the soul may stand in unhampered nothingness
Meister Eckhart

When a man sees the one in all things, he is above mere understanding.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Jesus might have said, I became man for you. If you do not become God for me, you wrong me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart
Image
No man was ever lost except for one reason: having once left his ground he has let himself become too permanently settled abroad.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.
Meister Eckhart
Image
He who can make distinction in God without number or quantity, knows that the three persons of the Trinity are one God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Relation is the essence of everything that exists.
Meister Eckhart
