"In one of his prayers, Meister Eckhart has said... and this is one of the rarest men that Christianity has produced. In fact, he looks a stranger in the world of Christians. He should have been born in Japan as a Zen Master, his insight is so clear, so deep, so beyond dogma. He says in one of his prayers, "Yes, I depend on you, God, but you also depend on me. If I were not here, who will worship and who will pray? and you would have missed me." And he is true: it is not out of any ego, it is a simple fact. I know God must have nodded at that moment, "You are true, Eckhart, because if you were not there, I would not have been here." The worshipper and the worshipped exist together; the lover and the beloved exist together. One cannot exist without the other, and this is the mystery of existence: everything exists together. This togetherness is God. God is not a person; this very togetherness of all, is God .My second name today is Eckhart. I would have loved for him to have been born in the East. To be born among Germans and then to write or speak about the ultimate is a difficult job. But the poor man did it, and did it perfectly. Germans are Germans; whatsoever they do, they do it perfectly .Eckhart was uneducated. It is strange that many of the mystics are uneducated. There must be something wrong with education. Why are there not so many educated mystics? Education must be destroying something, and that prevents people from becoming mystics. Yes, education destroys. Twenty-five years continuously, from the kindergarten to the postgraduate courses in university, it goes on destroying in you whatsoever is beautiful and aesthetic. The lotus is crushed under scholarship, the rose is murdered by the so-called professors, teachers, vice-chancellors, chancellors. What beautiful names they have chosen for themselves. The real education has not begun yet. It has to begin. It will be the education of the heart, not of the head; of the feminine in you, not the masculine. It is a wonder that Eckhart, among the Germans, the most male chauvinist race in the world, remained yet in his heart, and spoke from there. Uneducated, poor, of no political status, of no economic status, of no status at all - just a beggar, but so rich. Very few people have been so rich .Rich in his being - his BEING."
Thank you So Much Dear Rupert, Bless You 🙏🏻 Traduccion al español: Hay en cada uno de nosotros un inmenso silencio q nos llama, creemos que nosotros nos acercamos a el, cuando es el q se acerca y encuentra a si mismo....... Al principio cuando nos desapegamos de pensamientos y emociones, nos asentamos en el por poquitos periodos de tuempo, luego nos enamoramos de el de su paz y lo hacemos nuestro hogar, a mas estamos asi mas se van manifestando la paz la tranquilidad y la dicha q de el emanan.. Cuando nos encontramos a otra persona en este camino percibimos el mismo silencio en ella, y en estas amistades en q ambas estan concientes de su silencio se forma una union especial..una celebracion de este Ser compartido..las conversaciones e interaciones los unos con los otros son permeadas con las cualidades de este Ser.. su paz etc, y asi pueden ser compartidas con el mundo.
Being feels like being. It is not like anything else. There is nothing else. A hold of thinking as a separate person, yes. The pausing of the person at first, then the dissolving of it. And it presents as stillness, effortlessness, peace, quietude, equanimity, awe, gratefulness, joy, love, aliveness, wonder, completeness, creativity, sponteneity, the wetness of the ocean, the everything in nothing (neverythingness), god, nature, breathing, beauty, arts. Anything non-personal, but ever so intimate, closer than close, Yugen. Already there.
