The article examines Meister Eckhart's sermon 86, related to Luke 10:38-42, from a non-confessional philosophical perspective and a hermeneutic-dialogical method. First, it shows how fulfilled life, where the soul is one with divinity, is not represented by either young Mary or Martha, but by a mature Mary who encompasses both figures. It then clarifies the meaning of this whole life defined by this second Mary, where an active and contemplative life merges. To do this, it introduces the phenomenon it calls “giving oneself.” Finally, it outlines the concept of divinity as cosmological creativity, implied in Eckhart’s text.
