He is conscious only of God...To be conscious of knowing God is to know about God and self.
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
The soul does not grow by addition but by subtraction.
Meister Eckhart
Image
To the extent that you eliminate ego from your activities, God comes into them - but no more and no less. Begin with that, and let it cost you your uttermost. In this way, and no other, is true peace to be found.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The very best and noblest attainment in this life is to be silent and let God work and speak within. Therefore it is said: 'In the midst of silence the secret word was spoken to me'.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!
Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
Image
The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great or good if the inward is small or of little worth.
Meister Eckhart
Image
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
Image
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart
Image
For the person who has learned to let go and let be, nothing can ever get in the way again.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The man who has submitted his will and purposes entirely to God, carries God with him in all his works and in all circumstances.
Meister Eckhart
Image
This is my only and permanent complaint, that vulgar people, empty of the Spirit of God, want to judge solely by their human thinking what they listen to or read in the Bible, which has been pronounced and written by the Holy Spirit and in the Holy Spirit.
Meister Eckhart
Image
As long as I am this or that, I am not all things.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The outward man is the swinging door the inner man is the still hinge.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is bound to act, to pour himself out (into thee) as soon as ever he shall find thee ready.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.
Meister Eckhart
Image
I maintain that all sorrow comes from love of those things of which loss deprives me.
Meister Eckhart
