Quote by Meister Eckhart

God is at home, it's we who have gone out for a walk.

God is at home, it's we who have gone out for a walk.

Summary

This quote suggests that God is always present and accessible to us, but it is often our perception and awareness that is lacking. We are the ones who have distanced ourselves from God and its divine presence by immersing ourselves in the busyness and distractions of worldly pursuits. It implies that the search for spiritual connection requires turning inward and rediscovering our innate connection to the divine rather than seeking it externally. God is portrayed as a constant, unwavering presence, while it is we who need to make the effort to reconnect and recognize its ever-present existence.
