Meister Eckhart Quotes.
 
If you focus to narrowly on a single path to God, all you will ever find is the path.



Nothing in all creation is so like God as stillness.



One must not always think so much about what one should do, but rather what one should be. Our works do not ennoble us; but we must ennoble our works.

In the recent days, there were some crazy people who made the news. Their inaction would've been a blessing.

He means a lot to me...as all the Mystics from all cultures do.
He, because he promoted a direct intimate exp with God...
and thus, was persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church...for those that don't know his history.

Wonder if you could ask a moderator to correct his name ..he deserves that.
