Existence itself stands in need of nothing, for it lacks nothing, whereas everything else needs it, because outside of it there is nothing. Nothingness stands in need of existence, as a sick man lacks health and is in need. Health has no need of a sick man. To want nothing, therefore, characterizes the highest perfection, is fullest and purest existence.
Meister EckhartThere exists only the present instant ... There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now.
Meister EckhartTo be full of things is to be empty of God; to be empty of things is to be full of God.
Meister EckhartAnd suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.
Meister EckhartTo be right, a person must do one of two things: either he must learn to have God in his work and hold fast to him there, or he must give up his work altogether. Since, however, we cannot live without activities that are both human and various, we must learn to keep God I everything we do, and whatever the job or place, keep on with him, letting nothing stand in our way.
