More From Meister Eckhart

The way sadness works is one of the strange riddles of the world. if you are stricken with a great sadness, you may feel as if you have been set aflame, not only because of the enormous pain, but also because your sadness may spread over your life, like smoke from an enormous fire.
Sad Pain Fire
Trust me, i have not earned your dear rebuke, i love, as you would have me, god the most; would lose not him, but you, must one be lost, nor with lot's wife cast back a faithless look unready to forego what i forsook; this say i, having counted up the cost, this, tho' i be the feeblest of god's host, the sorriest sheep christ shepherds with his crook. yet while i love my god the most, i deem that i can never love you overmuch; i love him more, so let me love you too; yea, as i apprehend it, love is such i cannot love you if i love not him. i cannot love him if i love not you.
Love You I Love Him Love Is
You must know that i do not love and that i love you, because everything alive has its two sides; a word is one wing of silence, fire has its cold half. i love you in order to begin to love you, to start infinity again and never to stop loving you: that’s why i do not love you yet. i love you, and i do not love you, as if i held keys in my hand: to a future of joy- a wretched, muddled fate- my love has two lives, in order to love you. -sonnet xliv
Love You Fate Fire
He makes his ministers a flame of fire. am i ignitible? god deliver me from the dread asbestos of 'other things.' saturate me with the oil of the spirit that i may be aflame. but flame is transient, often short lived. canst thou bear this, my soul - short life? ... make me thy fuel, flame of god.
Short Life Godly Fire
Love is real, real is love, love is feeling, feeling love, love is wanting to be loved. love is touch, touch is love, love is reaching, reaching love, love is asking to be loved. love is you, you and me, love is knowing, we can be. love is free, free is love, love is living, living love, love is needing to be loved.
Love Real Knowing
In order to live, man must act; in order to act, he must make choices; in order to make choices, he must define a code of values; in order to define a code of values, he must know what he is and where he is – i.e. he must know his own nature (including his means of knowledge) and the nature of the universe in which he acts – i.e. he needs metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, which means: philosophy. he cannot escape from this need; his only alternative is whether the philosophy guiding him is to be chosen by his mind or by chance.

You always really have to remain consistent in your beliefs and philosophy.
Philosophy Belief Consistent
We find sects and parties in most branches of science; and disputes which are carried on from age to age, without being brought to an issue. sophistry has been more effectually excluded from mathematics and natural philosophy than from other sciences. in mathematics it had no place from the beginning; mathematicians having had the wisdom to define accurately the terms they use, and to lay down, as axioms, the first principles on which their reasoning is grounded. accordingly, we find no parties among mathematicians, and hardly any disputes.
