Blessed are the poor in spirit

Meister Eckhart's teaching has never been so timely. In his sermons he stated that only the "poor in spirit," that is, those who ignore religion or get rid of it, have the opportunity to encounter God. The learned, full of their knowledge, have no room for God in their hearts.

The same happens in relation to the "nature of things" and about oneself. Only those who are aware of their ignorance continue to seek the truth. The others are content to adopt a pre-packaged truth by the "experts", repeat it to exhaustion and get angry if you do not share it.
