Quote by Meister Eckhart
Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time: and not only time but temporalities, not only temporal things but temporal affections, not only temporal affections but the very taint and smell of time.
Summary
This quote suggests that time is a barrier that prevents us from fully experiencing or perceiving the divine. It implies that temporal matters, including our attachment to worldly things and our perception of time itself, inhibit our connection with God. The quote highlights the idea that the influence of time extends beyond the physical aspect but also affects our emotions and desires, ultimately distancing us from spiritual enlightenment.
