"One of Meister Eckhart's many enigmatic sayings is that 'God's exit is his entrance.' He also says that 'to the extent that all creatures who are gifted with reason go out from themselves in all that they do, to that same extent they go into themselves.' That is, when I truly go out of myself in meeting another person, when in the encounter I can let go of my small, fearful, grasping self, then in meeing the other I simultaneously meet my own highest, truest self."
