From generosity comes wealth, happiness from morality.
From tolerance comes beauty, splendor from heroic effort.
Through concentration, one is peaceful; through understanding comes liberation.
Compassion accomplishes all aims.

It's no more mysterious than everything I've been writing about for months. Meister Eckhart, when interpreted quite directly, is tracing the direct thoroughline of logic elucidated by Nagarjuna, Zhuangzi, or certain Sufis. That he's read as mystical has nothing much to do with what he's saying.

Nagarjuna would qualify this somewhat but since he doesn't exist he can only do so in a conventional sense.

"Without own-nature" — they say,
But — who has own-nature?
Neither existent nor non-existent — nor both, nor neither.
Master Nāgārjuna knew — all this is empty:
Your soul, too, is dependently arisen.

Even though the problem isn't even necessarily in using words like "soul" or "essence" - more about why we think using those words or believing in them gives any sort of persuasive or logical power, any authority beyond assertion; why we think we can require anyone to be subject to such a worldview.

🧘 Nagarjuna said 'I have no thesis'. The Conference of Difference asks: does that dissolve into emptiness—or reveal being as an ongoing conference of difference?

It is hard to imagine (but possible) that Nagarjuna had not read those two texts and fully understood them, but as Kalupahana has shown the text for which the world knows him is literally just a logician’s commentary on a single early sutta. So he also a sravaka in the relevant sense.

imo read shakyamuni, and at least research nagarjuna if you haven't
there are various interpretations obviously but they're both phenomenologists whose projects substantially revolve precisely around the critique of object reification through a phenomenally disclosed metaphysics of interdependence
