Once They Deny Themselves
Meister Eckhart
People who seek peace in things, places, people, and activities -
or in world-flight, poverty, and humiliation, whatever the avenue or
degree - look in vain, for there is no peace this way. But once they
deny themselves, then whatever they keep, be it wealth, honor, or
anything else, they will still be free from it all.
The Imp and the Crust - a folk tale, retold.
