One must not always think so ...

One must not always think so much about what one should do, but rather what one should be. Our works do not ennoble us; but we must ennoble our works.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

Remember this: all suffering ...

Remember this: all suffering comes to an end. And whatever you suffer authentically, God has suffered from it first.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

Do not think that saintliness...

Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation; it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy but we may make it holy. However “sacred” a calling may be, as it is a calling, it has no power to sanctify.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

I tell you the truth, any obj...

I tell you the truth, any object you have in your mind, however good, will be a barrier between you and the inmost Truth.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

This is my only and permanent...

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 288 quotes

A man may go into the field a...

A man may go into the field and say his prayer and be aware of God, or he may be in Church and be aware of God; but if he is more aware of Him because he is in a quiet place, that is his own deficiency and not due to God, Who is alike present in all things and places, and is willing to give Himself everywhere so far as lies in Him... He knows God rightly who knows Him everywhere.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

Love is as strong as death, a...

Love is as strong as death, as hard as Hell. Death separates the soul from the body, but love separates all things from the soul.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

When I think of God's Kingdom...

When I think of God's Kingdom, I am compelled to be silent because of its immensity, because God's Kingdom is none other than God himself with all His riches.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

There is something in the sou...

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 288 quotes

It is permissible to take lif...

It is permissible to take life's blessings with both hands provided thou dost know thyself prepared in the opposite event to take them just as gladly. This applies to food and friends and kindred, to anything God gives and takes away... As long as God is satisfied do thou rest content. If he is pleased to want something else of thee, still rest content.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

When a man sees the one in al...

When a man sees the one in all things, he is above mere understanding.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

When I experience Love I must...

When I experience Love I must go to God. When I experience non-attachment God must come to me.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

I will be silent and will hea...

I will be silent and will hear what God will say in me...If God wishes to speak to me, let him enter. I will not go out.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

The seed of God is in us. Giv...

The seed of God is in us. Given an intelligent and hard-working farmer, it will thrive and grow up to God, whose seed it is; and accordingly its fruits will be God-nature. Pear seeds grow into pear trees, nut seeds into nut trees, and God-seed into God.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

The shell must be cracked apa...

The shell must be cracked apart if what is in it is to come out, for if you want the kernel you must break the shell. And therefore if you want to discover nature's nakedness you must destroy its symbols, and the farther you get in the nearer you come to its essence. When you come to the One that gathers all things up into itself, there you must stay.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

Nothing will be able to hinde...

Nothing will be able to hinder us, if we desire and seek God alone, and take pleasure in nothing else.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

To be sure, our mental proces...

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.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

The most powerful prayer, one...

The most powerful prayer, one well-nigh omnipotent, and the worthiest work of all is the outcome of a quiet mind. The quieter it is the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is. To the quiet mind all things are possible. What is a quiet mind? A quiet mind is one which nothing weighs on, nothing worries, which, free from ties and from all self-seeking, is wholly merged into the will of God and dead to its own.

Meister Eckhart 288 quotes

Above all else, know this: Be...

Above all else, know this: Be prepared at all times for the gifts of God and be ready always for new ones. For God is a thousand times more ready to give than we are to receive

Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.
