The Book of Divine Comfort

Name: The Book of Divine Comfort
Author: Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart

c. 1308

Written for Agnes of Hungary after the murder of her father and the grief of personal catastrophe, this treatise turns suffering into a philosophical inquiry. Eckhart argues that true consolation comes not from circumstances but from detaching the inner man from the outer: the soul that has found its ground in God cannot be touched by fortune. The work is both a pastoral letter and a compressed metaphysics of suffering, inner nobility, and the unchanging divine ground.
