Where Clinging Ends

(Found here)

“There, where clinging to things ends, is where God begins to be.

If a cask is to contain wine, you must first pour out the water. The cask must be bare and empty.

Therefore, if you wish to receive divine joy and God, first pour out your clinging to things.

Everything that is to receive must and ought to be empty.”

~Meister Eckhart
