Quote by Meister Eckhart

There exists only the present instant... a Now which always and without end is itself new. There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now, as it was a thousand years ago and as it will be a thousand years hence.

There exists only the present instant... a Now which always

Summary

This quote highlights the concept of living in the present moment. It suggests that the only true reality is the present instant, as both the past and future are merely abstract ideas.

It emphasizes the timeless nature of the present, implying that it remains unchanged throughout history and will persist in the same way in the future. Ultimately, the quote serves as a reminder to focus on the present and treasure the ever-renewing Now.
