You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
Meister EckhartI may err but I am not a heretic, for the first has to do with the mind and the second with the will!
Meister EckhartThe man who has submitted his will and purposes entirely to God, carries God with him in all his works and in all circumstances.
Meister EckhartThough one should live through all the time from Adam and all the time to come before the judgment day doing good works, yet he who, energising in his highest, purest part, crosses from time to eternity, verily in the sight of God this man conceives and does far more than anyone who lives throughout all past and future time, because this now includes the whole of time. One master says that in crossing over time into the now each power of the soul will surpass itself. . . .
