Half and half
But if you should ask a good man, “why do you love God?”
“I don’t know. For God’s sake.”
“Why do you love truth?”
“For truth’s sake.”
“Why do you love righteousness?”
“For righteousness’ sake.”
”Why do you live?”
“Indeed, I don’t know. I like living.”
A master says, he who has once been touched by truth, justice, and goodness, though it entailed all the pangs of hell, that man would never turn from them even for an instant. He goes on, that man, whoever he may be, who is touched by these three, truth, justice, and goodness, can no more quit these three than God can quit his Godhead.
Meister Eckhart, Sermon 1, from Lee van Laer, Substack Inner Christianity, today, Sensing God
