2. Meister Eckhart
A compact collection of medieval mystical sermons and treatises that probe the soul’s direct union with the divine, insisting on radical inner detachment and the ‘birth’ of God in the soul through contemplative surrender. Written in paradoxical, aphoristic language, it emphasizes the via negativa and the ground of the soul, challenges reliance on external forms of religiosity, and offers practical guidance for a transformative inner life centered on letting go so the divine can act through the person.
