I Need to be Silent for a While, Worlds are Forming in My Heart.

“Whatever God does, the first outburst is always compassion.”
― Meister Eckhart

“People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are. If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant. If you are righteous, then what you do will also be righteous. We should not think that holiness is based on what we do but rather on what we are, for it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctified our works.”
― Meister Eckhart, Selected Writings

“There’s a place in the soul where you’ve never been wounded.”
― Meister Eckhart

“We rarely find people who achieve great things without first going astray.”
― Meister Eckhart

“The outward man is the swinging door; the inner man is the still hinge.”
― Meister Eckhart

“The more we have the less we own.”

“But where is this true possession of God, whereby we really possess him, to be found? This real possession of God is to be found in the heart, in an inner motion of the spirit towards him and striving for him, and not just in thinking about him always and in the same way. For that would be beyond the capacity of our nature and would be very difficult to achieve and would not even be the best thing to do. We should not content ourselves with the God of thoughts for, when the thoughts come to an end, so too shall God. Rather, we should have a living God who is beyond the thoughts of all people and all creatures. That kind of God will not leave us, unless we ourselves choose to turn away from him.”
― Meister Eckhart, Selected Writings

“But of God you can never have a sufficiency. The more you have of God, the more you desire. If you could ever have enough of God, so that you were content with him, then God would not be God.”
― Meister Eckhart, Selected Writings

“Every creature is a word of God and is a book about God.”
― Meister Eckhart

“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

“I need to be silent for a while, worlds are forming in my heart.”
