Aș per the Bhagavad Gita, the mind which is equiposed to all external conditions is said to be in yoga. And there is a chapter called Bhakti yoga where lord declares that such person who is equal to sadness and happiness, friends and foes, pain and pleasure is very dear to him. No doubt Meister was a liberated saint.

Antidote for a material world..

Truly one of the greatest works ever written, Christian and yet so akin to what the Buddhists "describe". It surely must be True.

Me too. If there is one mystical transcendence that is beyond what the eye sees, it is unique, and only a clear mind, detached from the ego, can see it with his hart. Buddha and Jesus both made that experience. I am personally, at this very moment, understanding the significance of detachment from wathever I cling to. Detachment leads to a feeling of completeness, fulfillment, the total opposite of emptiness and loneliness. With such name, you must be a physicist.

Mr. Tolle is so impressed with Meister Eckhart's teachings that he changed his first name to Eckhart.

That is not how he told it himself... he had a dream in which he wrote books but the name on the books was Eckhart ( one heart) and after that someone in his village where he lived in Engeland called him Eckhart... that's when he changed his name....

​@-miekeb- And the dream was about Meister.

If anyone hears these words and is moved by them, then I urge you actually read the full lesson that Eckhart gave regarding Detachment. Not only that, but read it slowly and allow the words to sink into your heart. It is a very, very powerful lesson and whilst Imam has done a good job to bring it to the attention of people (thank you, Imam), he has not read all the lesson, and he reads it quite quickly. Read the words, give them life within you.

Thank you so much for this.

Beautiful lecture from Mesiter Eckhart. It would have come across even more wonderfully if the reader would read slower and long pauses between sentences to allow the Silence in the words to be heard. It is in the Silence that detachment is found, not in the words. I hope this is helpful to the reader. ❤

Sublime

Even if recorded in a slower speed, I personally like to pause and hear and listen again.

" Somebody asked Meister Eckhart - a really religious person - "When Jesus says 'Ask and it shall be given' why don't people ask? If it is just for asking's sake, why don't people ask? If he says seek and ye shall find, and he says only knock and the doors shall be opened unto you, then why don't people knock?" Eckhart laughed and he said, "For two reasons first you may ask and it may not be given to you, so people don't want to be frustrated; second, and a deeper reason, you may ask and it may be given to you. That is more frightening." That's why people don't try. They simply pay lip-service And you know, the whole world seems to be religious in a way people go to the temple to the mosques, to the churches They read the Bible, Koran, Gita, they recite the Vedas, they do mantras, but still there seems to be no religious consciousness at all The earth is surrounded by a very, very dark cloud of unconsciousness. There seems to be no light. The night seems to be utterly dark, not even a single star. You have to be very, very aware of this, because you can do the same as people have been doing down the ages. Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Jainism - they are not true religions. They are pseudo, counterfeits. Christ is true, Christianity is false. Buddha is true, Buddhism is false. Buddhism is created by us, Buddha is not created by us; but we create Buddhism according to our needs, according to our ideas, according to our prejudices. WE create Buddha, we create Buddhism, we create a myth of Buddha. The real Buddha is not created by us. The real Buddha comes into existence IN SPITE of us. He has to fight to be! He has to find ways and means to exist. He has to find a way to get out of the prison that we call the society. But once somebody has become awakened, we gather around him and we start spinning and weaving a system around him which is all of our own making. It has nothing to do with the person at all. The stories that are told about Buddha are untrue; so are the stories about Christ. The real person is lost. We create such mist, such dust around, that nobody can see the real person. That is the work of the theologians. For two thousand years Christian theologians have been creating such dust that it is impossible to see Jesus. He is completely lost in their logic-chopping, in their theories, they have created Himalayas of words. Nobody is bothered about who this main really is, what his message is. The message is very simple, it is not complicated. The message is not that you should worship Jesus or Buddha. The message is that you should become a Christ or a Buddha - less than that won't do. Don't become a Christian, become a Christ. If you have any respect for yourself become a Christ, don't become a Christian. Become a Buddha don't become a Buddhist. No 'ism' can contain Buddha, no church can contain Christ. But the human heart can contain Buddha. ONLY the human heart can contain him, because the human heart is as infinite as the existence itself. Don't worship him outside. If you have understood Buddha, RESPECT YOURSELF! Feel reverence for your own being; that will be reverence towards Buddha. If you have understood Christ, start looking inwards - you will find him there. He is not outside, not in the churches. He is in the innermost core of your being. If religion really happens in the world there will not be religions but only a kind of religiousness, a suffused light, a quality, indefinable - just as love is or awareness is; a different quality of consciousness. And the time for it has come. And when the time for a certain idea comes, no force in the world can prevent it."

how is this not nihilism

@somatose1

2 ай бұрын

Considering this like nihilism is a common thought. While the term "nihilism" may refer to several related philosophies, I'm assuming the version you're intending is the one that says there's no meaning to life and, more broadly, no meaning to anything. It is easy to think that is what detachment points to. Because, the mind thinks, without attachment, what is there? Without attachment, what is life as a human? The pointing of detachment is, fundamentally, to show that the mind projects onto the world, and onto itself, a model of reality that is not actually reality, at all. The mind is caught up in its own concepts of what is and what is not. It labels this and that, just like the same thought that seeks to label whether there is meaning. To detach is to release the mind's clinging to concepts that say I am this and reality is that. This is surrendering. This is letting go. What remains? What is witnessed when the mind no longer listens to its thoughts? There is then only awareness, free of concept. Awareness and experience become one. What is aware is not even "I" but that which is. Detached, one is then the expression of God.

Detachment as described rhymes with self-emptying, or the quiet and still mind of contemplation. These are simply the path to Union. Granted the process and nothingness may be experienced as something akin to nihilism. Hope is the emptying/stillness will become filled. Hope, if I understand Eckhart, evidenced that detachment is not complete.

I reject all things Eckhart, He and I would never get along. Gnostic paul New Orleans

Pure paganism this guy meister eckhart, God in bible gets angry, loves, curses, becomes sorrowful, becomes happy and many things...God is not detached according to the Bible.

so you've never read where God says, "I am the Lord. I change not"? we should be careful what we say because its tells what we know, and don't know.

Why quote Jesus, when he's only interested in putting his ideas in Jesus' mouth, not in what Jesus actually says, let alone means.
