This paper addresses a fundamental issue of the mystic Meister Eckhart: the birth of God in the soul of man. This event, which permeates the whole Eckhartian thought, is only addressed as a central theme in the cycle of German sermons 101-104, known as the heart of the Eckhart`s work. These sermons reflect the mystical dimension of the works of the German Dominican, and in them, from a philosophical exposition and in a unique and singular form, Eckhart invites the listener to interiority, silence and detachment as conditions for illumination of man by birth of God in the depths of his soul. The message of Meister is articulated in the Sermon 101, in three fundamental points: the place where the divine birth occurs, the attitude to be adopted for it to occur and the fruits of such event. From the divine birth, eternal, and uninterrupted, man's relationships with himself, with the divinity (deity) and with the world are radically transformed. Thus, it is observed that the proposed relational theory present in the Eckhartian thought is the redefinition of man and the world that surrounds him, by means of a clearly intellective process. The overcoming of the images, by the abandonment of all subjectivity and by the genuine interiority which is necessary for the generation of the divine within man and his self-knowledge, the outside world ceases to be an obstacle to enlightenment to become a means of manifestation of the divinity that is in every human being.
