More Quotes from Meister Eckhart:
We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity... But if it takes not place in me, what avails it? Everything lies in this, that it should take place in me.Meister Eckhart
A man may go into the field and say his prayer and be aware of God, or he may be in Church and be aware of God but if he is more aware of Him because he is in a quiet place, that is his own deficiency and not due to God, Who is alike present in all things and places, and is willing to give Himself everywhere so far as lies in Him... He knows God rightly who knows Him everywhere.
Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
