God is above all understanding (part 2) - Meister Eckhart

This quote was added by derevon
If I also say, God is a Being, it is not true; He is transcendent Being and superessential Nothingness. Concerning this St Augustine says: the best thing that man can say about God is to be able to be silent about Him, from the wisdom of his inner judgement. Therefore be silent and prate not about God, for whenever thou dost prate about God, thou liest, and committest sin. A master saith: If I had a God whom I could understand, I would never hold Him to be God.
