"Pero en verdad yo digo que en el infierno arde la nada... En verdad digo: mientras la nada esté apegada a ti, eres imperfecto. Si quieres ser perfecto debes liberarte de la nada... Quien durante mil años preguntara a la vida: "¿por qué vives?", si pudiera responder no diría otra cosa que "vivo porque vivo"... Si un hombre verdadero, que actúa desde su propio fondo, pregunta:"¿por qué realizas tus obras?", si pudiera contestar rectamente, no diría otra cosa que "las hago porque las hago"..." (vivir sin porqué)
"Whoever possesses God in their being, has him in a divine manner, and he shines out to them in all things; for them all things taste of God and in all things it is God's image that they see.""People should not worry as 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 sanctify our works.""It is a fair trade and an equal exchange: to the extent that you depart from things, thus far, no more and no less, God enters into you with all that is his, as far as you have stripped yourself of yourself in all things. It is here that you should begin, whatever the cost, for it is here that you will find true peace, and nowhere else."
“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "Thank You", that would suffice. “
“God wants nothing of you but the gift of a peaceful heart.“
“We need not destroy any little good in ourselves for the sake of a better, but we should strive to grasp every truth in its highest meaning, for no one good contradicts another.”
“The man who abides in the will of God wills nothing else than what God is, and what He wills. If he were ill he would not wish to be well. If he really abides in God's will, all pain is to him a joy, all complication, simple: yea, even the pains of hell would be a joy to him. He is free and gone out from himself, and from all that he receives, he must be free. If my eye is to discern colour, it must itself be free from all colour.”
“The eye with which I see God is the same with which God sees me. My eye and God's eye is one eye, and one sight, and one knowledge, and one love. “
“Only those who have dared to let go can dare to reenter.”
“The quieter the mind the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is. “
Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1327), Talks of Instruction
