Meister Eckhart Quotes – Wisdom and Inspiration from a Spiritual Master

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.

What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.

The most powerful prayer, one well-nigh omnipotent, and the worthiest work of all is the outcome of a quiet mind.

Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.

God is at home; it is we who have gone out for a walk.

The outward work will never be puny if the inward work is great.

Every creature is a divine word because it proclaims God.

Nothing in all creation is so like God as stillness.

The ultimate goal of the human person is communion with the divine.

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is ‘thank you’, it will be enough.

The more we can give in our silence, the more we can receive in our solitude.
