The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great or good if the inward is small or of little worth.
Meister Eckhart[W]e must come into a transformed knowing, an unknowing which comes not from ignorance but from knowledge.
Meister EckhartThe soul is created in a place between Time and Eternity: with its highest powers it touches Eternity, with its lower Time.
Meister EckhartOnce a man came to me - it was not too long ago - and said that he had given away much landed property and many goods for his own sake so that he might save his soul. Then I thought: 'How little and how insignificant is what you have let go of! It is blindness and foolishness for you to continue looking at all you've let go of. If, however, you've let go of yourself, then you've really let go.'
Meister Eckhart
