  Meister Eckhart

  Time, Light, Smell

• Un hombre que odia la pasión corta sus causas. Pero un hombre que permanece entre sus causas experimenta incluso contra su voluntad el conflicto de las pasiones. No es posible estar mentalmente inclinado hacia una pasión si uno no ama su causa. Porque, ¿quién, desdeñando la vergüenza, se entrega a la vanagloria? ¿O a quién, amando la humildad, le molesta la deshonra? ¿Quién, teniendo el corazón quebrantado y humilde, acepta la dulzura carnal? ¿O quién, creyendo en Cristo, se preocupa por las cosas temporales, o discute por ellas?

  Marco Eremita

  Inspirador, Cristiano, Religioso
