Background
A description of the experience
Meister Eckhart
A man must become truly poor and as free from his own will as he was when he was born. And I tell you by the eternal truth, that as long as you desire to fulfill the will of God and have any hankering after eternity and God, for just so long you are not truly poor. He alone has true spiritual poverty who wills nothing, knows nothing, desires nothing
