Meister Eckhart quote: "You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best..."
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion. Meister Eckhart
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
The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love. Meister Eckhart
One person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who have mastered only the contents of books, but no one can get anything out of life without God. Meister Eckhart
Some people prefer solitude. They say their peace of mind depends on this. Others say they would be better off in church. If you do well, you do well wherever you are. If you fail, you fail wherever you are. Your surroundings don't matter. God is with you everywhere -- in the market place as well as in seclusion or in the church. If you look for nothing but God, nothing or no one can disturb you. God is not distracted by a multitude of things. Nor can we be. Meister Eckhart
Meister Eckhart quote: "God is not good, or else he could do better."
God is not good, or else he could do better. Meister Eckhart
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
Meister Eckhart quote: "We are all meant to be mothers of God...for God is always..."
We are all meant to be mothers of God...for God is always needing to be born. Meister Eckhart
Meister Eckhart quote: "Nobody at any time is cut off from God."
Nobody at any time is cut off from God. Meister Eckhart
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
Meister Eckhart quote: "All God wants of man is a peaceful heart."
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart. Meister Eckhart
The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge. Meister Eckhart
Whoever possesses God in their being has Him in a divine manner, and He shines out to them in all things; for them all things taste of God and in all things it is God's image that they see. Meister Eckhart
Meister Eckhart quote: "The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God..."
The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me. Meister Eckhart
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
