Quotes about Body by Meister Eckhart

  • The soul loves the body. And consider too how it is that the body is more in the soul than the soul is in the body.
  • Philosophers say the Soul is double-faced, her upper face gazes at God all the time and her lower face looks somewhat down, informing the senses; and the upper face, which is the summit of the soul, is in eternity and has nothing to do with time: it knows nothing of time or of body.
  • Treat all things as if they were loaned to you without any ownership - whether body or soul, sense or strength, external goods or honors, house or hall...everything.
