Nearer Than Yourself

Meister Eckhart
There is a capacity in my soul which is unreservedly open to God. Of this I am as sure as that I live. Nothing is so close to me as God. He is nearer to me than I am to myself. His presence is still my being.
The less theorizing you do about God, the more receptive you are to his in-pouring. True possession of God lies in the heart, not in thinking about God. A Divinity theoretically conceived will not do. For then God goes when thought goes. Rather grasp the God that is being, above all thinking and all creaturely activity.

Men Who Have Walked with God
