Purpose of creation

Eckhart says in his second German sermon that the “whole of Scripture was written” and “God created the whole world and all the orders of angels” so that “God may be born in the soul and the soul be born in God.”

He adds: “It is the nature of every grain of corn to become wheat and every precious metal to become gold and all procreation to lead to the procreation of the human race.  Therefore a master says that there is no animal which does not possess some likeness to human beings.”
