Nothing in creation…
Nothing in all creation is so like God as stillness.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Find the light…
It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
The more we have…
The more we have the less we own.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
You will have peace…
You will have peace to the extent that you have God, and the further you are away from God the less you will be at peace…Thus you may measure your progress with God by measuring your peace or the lack of it.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Aflame by God’s love…
The soul must long for God in order to be set aflame by God’s love; but if the soul cannot yet feel the longing, then it must long for the longing. To long for the longing is also from God.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
The more you abandon yourself…
Love God the same way in everything. Love God as quickly in poverty as in wealth. Seek God in sickness as well as in health. Look for God when you are tempted, and look for him when you’re not tempted. Discover God in suffering and in pleasantness. It is like carrying two buckets. If one is heavy, the other feels lighter. The more you abandon yourself, the easier it will be to abandon. If you love God, you will be able to renounce the whole earth as though it were an egg. The more you give, the easier it is to give. The followers of Christ discovered that the heavier their suffering, the easier they could endure it.
— Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
