A peaceful heart…
God wants nothing from you but the gift of a peaceful heart.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
God is everywhere…
Your surroundings don’t matter. God is with you everywhere.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
When God has been born to you…
Here is a way to tell when God has been born in you: everything will point to God. Nothing is a hindrance anymore. Everywhere you look, you will see God. It is like staring at the sun. The image is burned into your eyes. Regardless of where you look, you see the sun.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
God is in all things…
Apprehend God in all things, for God is in all things. Every single creature is full of God and is a book about God. Every creature is a word of God. If I spent enough time with the tiniest creature — even a caterpillar — I would never have to prepare a sermon. So full of God is every creature.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Grow by subtraction…
The soul does not grow by addition but by subtraction.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
God dispenses grace…
It is one flash, the being-ready and the pouring in. Nature reaching her summit, God dispenses His grace: the instant the spirit is ready, God enters without hesitation or delay.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
