Blurb

"In whatever way you find God most, and you are most aware of God, that is the way you should follow. But if another way presents itself, quite contrary to the first, and if, having abandoned the first way, you find God as much in the new way as in the one you left, then that is right. But, the noblest and best thing would be this: if a person were to come to such equality, with such calm andcertainty that one could find and enjoy God in any way and in all things, without having to wait for anything or chase after anything: that would delight me!... Every work helps towards this.

If anything does not help towards this, you should let it go." With these words Meister Eckhart set out to Avignon to defend himself from Pope John XXII who seemed to have set up two tribunals to inquire into the case of heresy.

After his death Eckhart was largely forgotten but he gained recent revival from nondualist spiritual teachers who have based their own teaching on Eckhart's sermons.

Biography

Meister Eckhart (um 1260-1327) war einer der bedeutendsten deutschen Theologen und Philosophen des Mittelalters und der beredteste Verkünder der deutschen Mystik. Die Ideen des religiösen Genies z.B. die Gottesgeburt in der menschlichen Seele waren Ausdruck intensivster spiritueller Erlebnisse und teilweise derart kraftvoll, dass der bekannte Prediger zwar in Konflikt mit der Inquisition geriet, für die intellektuelle Nachwelt aber bis heute eine außerordentliche Inspirationsquelle blieb.
