I maintain that all sorrow comes from love of those things of which loss deprives me.
Meister EckhartLet God operate in thee; Hand the work over to Him and do not disquiet thyself as to whether or no He is working with nature or above nature, for His are both nature and grace.
Meister EckhartGod is nearer to me than I am to myself; He is just as near to wood and stone, but they do not know it.
Meister EckhartThe seed of God is in us: Pear seeds grow into pear trees; Hazel seeds into hazel trees; And God seeds into God.
Meister EckhartTo be sure, our mental processes often go wrong, so that we imagine God to have gone away. What should be done then? Do exactly what you would do if you felt most secure. Learn to behave thus even in deepest distress and keep yourself that way in any and every estate of life. I can give you no better advice than to find God where you lost him.
Meister Eckhart
