Meister Eckhart
A just person is one who is conformed and transformed into justice.
Meister Eckhart
...Where and when God finds you ready, he must act and overflow into you, just as when the air is clear and pure, the sun must overflow into it and cannot refrain from doing that.

Meister Eckhart
If I had a friend and loved him because of the benefits which this brought me and because of getting my own way, then it would not be my friend that I loved but myself. I should love my friend on account of his own goodness and virtues and account of all that he is in himself. Only if I love my friend in this way do I love him properly.
Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
For then I knew my soul - every soul - has always held Him.
Meister Eckhart
Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
Meister Eckhart
People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.
Meister Eckhart
Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it.

To walk on not wondering am I right or doing something wrong.
Meister Eckhart
