Albert Einstein Quote – “A human being is a part of the whole…”
A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space.

Meister Eckhart Quote – “Mark how to know yourself…”
Mark how to know yourself. To know himself a man must ever be on the watch over himself, holding his outer faculties. This discipline must be continued until he reaches a state of consciousness.

Meister Eckhart Quote – “God’s divinity comes of my humility…”
God’s divinity comes of my humility, and this may be demonstrated as follows. It is God’s peculiar property to give; but He cannot give unless something is prepared to receive his gifts.
