“He knows God rightly who knows Him everywhere.”

— Meister Eckhart

Sermon II : The Nearness of the Kingdom
Meister Eckhart’s Sermons (1909)
Context: A man may go into the field and say his prayer and be aware of God, or, he may be in Church and be aware of God; but, if he is more aware of Him because he is in a quiet place, that is his own deficiency and not due to God, Who is alike present in all things and places, and is willing to give Himself everywhere so far as lies in Him. He knows God rightly who knows Him everywhere.
