God Holds Each Of Us By A String. When We Sin, We Cut The String. But God Ties It Up Again, Making A Knot. Each Time Our Wrongdoing Cuts The String, God Ties Another Knot Drawing Us Up Closer To Him.

More From Meister Eckhart

The Very Best And Noblest Attainment In This Life Is To Be Silent And Let God Work And Speak Within. Therefore It Is Said: 'in The Midst Of Silence The Secret Word Was Spoken To Me'.

To Be Right, A Person Must Do One Of Two Things: Either He Must Learn To Have God In His Work And Hold Fast To Him There, Or He Must Give Up His Work Altogether. Since, However, We Cannot Live Without Activities That Are Both Human And Various, We Must Learn To Keep God I Everything We Do, And Whatever The Job Or Place, Keep On With Him, Letting Nothing Stand In Our Way.

If We Seek God For Our Own Good And Profit, We Are Not Seeking God.

Time Is What Keeps The Light From Reaching Us. There Is No Greater Obstacle To God Than Time: And Not Only Time But Temporalities, Not Only Temporal Things But Temporal Affections, Not Only Temporal Affections But The Very Taint And Smell Of Time.

Relation Is The Essence Of Everything That Exists.
