Meister Eckhart and detachment

Meister Eckhart, a medieval German mystic, taught detachment not as rejecting the world but as releasing the ego's claim to separate ownership of experience—letting go of the need to possess, control, or take credit. His insight was that freedom comes through radical surrender of the self that's always calculating and comparing, which is why he remained dangerous to institutions invested in that calculating self.
