Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love Him as they love a cow - for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage.
Meister EckhartIn my breaking through...I transcend all creatures and am neither God nor creature...for in this breaking through I find that God and I are both the same.
Meister EckhartThe love by which we love God is the very same love with which God has first loved us.
Meister Eckhart
