It is a fair trade and an equal exchange: to the extent that you depart from things, thus far, no more and no less, God enters into you with all that is his, as far as you have stripped yourself of yourself in all things. It is here that you should begin, whatever the cost, for it is here that you will find true peace, and nowhere else.
Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
Action and becoming are one.
Meister Eckhart
People who have let go of themselves are so pure that the world cannot harm them.
