Summary: Deceptively Short Book
Comment: As the previous reviewer points out, this book is small only in size. I stumbled into Meister Eckhart upon recommendations at my Zen center from both Buddhist and Christian practitioners (in my lineage many religions come together to practice zazen). I was amazed by what I found. I bought this book for 50 cents, and a 50 cents well spent! My idea, if I had to be said to hold one (of God), is that of a void or nothingness. Some call this point God, some call this point emptiness or void, or even nothing. Nearly anywhere I read "God" in here, if I am to replace it with void, or Tao, it reads just like a work from a Buddhist text. Meister Eckhart was truly an "enlightened man", for he did not allow himself to dizzy in spells of notion sickness. Not surprisingly, as with all the great mystics and prophets throughout history in Christianity, Eckhart was declared a heretic; simply because there was no understanding of his very metaphysical and transcendent views of "God." Ironically, Matthew Fox, the editor and compiler the book, had been excommunicated from the church by the Vatican, and consequently "booted" from the Dominican order. That's a shame, why must it always be in hindsight, that we acknowledge the wisdom of open minds?
Enjoy this VERY deep book

Summary: Excellent and inspiring meditation thoughts
Comment: This book is small only in size. It is one of the best and most inspiring of guides to meditation. Meister Eckhart lived in the 14th century, yet his writings, especially those chosen in this book, are amazingly up to date. The beauty of the poetic expression leads the reader to that quiet place of beauty and joy and peace, helping the heart to open and expand, and transcending all to be: 'one with one, one from one, one in one, and externally one in one'. I recommend this book to all spiritual seekers, no matter what the level. To all Lovers of Truth and Beauty and Joy.
