Description: Commentaries on Meister Eckhart Sermons gathers together talks given near the end of his life by Dom Sylvester. Drawing freely on knowledge of diverse spiritual traditions, his comments illuminate and expand on the meanings embedded in six of Eckhart’s greatest sermons. Text and commentary combine to form an integrated exposition which will speak to every seeker of spiritual truth from the realm described by Rumi as ‘neither of the east nor of the west’.

Mind is being continuously approached by God in the self-gift of His luminous Being, and we try to stop and grasp at short moments of time. But mind is like a river in fluxu et in fieri, it flows as it becomes. -- from publisher
