Meister Eckhart's Book of Darkness & Light Quotes

“Your heart's desire
will fill your mouth,

and what you do.
Your heart's desire

“Don't expect great fanfares or grand gestures. Listen

“Perhaps, when that begins to happen, you will start to see that the purpose of your life is not to find some map to tell you where to go, but to see that your deepest longing is to catch a glimpse, at least, of how you are to go—whatever your path.”
― Jon M. Sweeney, Meister Eckhart's Book of Darkness & Light: Meditations on the Path of the Wayless Way

“Nothing can bring you to know God.
Well, not quite; there is something,
but it is an unknowing, a forgetting
of yourself, an utter emptying.”
― Jon M. Sweeney, Meister Eckhart's Book of Darkness & Light: Meditations on the Path of the Wayless Way
