Love God, and do as you like, say the Free Spirits. Yes; but as long as you like anything contrary to God's will, you do not love Him.
Meister EckhartDo not think that saintliness comes from occupation; it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy but we may make it holy. However โsacredโ a calling may be, as it is a calling, it has no power to sanctify.
Meister EckhartI will be silent and will hear what God will say in me...If God wishes to speak to me, let him enter. I will not go out.
Meister EckhartTo get at the core of God at his greatest, one must first get to the core of himself at his least, for no one can know God who has not first known himself. This core is a simple stillness, which is unmoved itself but by whose immobility all things are moved and all receive life.
Meister Eckhart
