This chapter addresses a concern that relates to one of those requirements, the overcoming or negation of self-will. It also addresses the overcoming of self-will in the Western understanding and the issues that accompany it. Both Eckhart and Simone Weil, in what we have seen, relate the will of God to detachment. Both, and Teresa as well, comment on the Father and in particular on its phrase "Thy will be done". While one's will may be in complete accord with God's will, it is "nobler", as Eckhart says in a sermon, if there is a "breaking-through". What Eckhart is saying, and not saying, about accepting the will of God is brought into relief by comparing his sermon on accepting the will of God as the best with a sermon given by William Sloan Coffin. It is a picture of God with his "finger on triggers", as he puts it-that is, intervening in the course of nature to claim lives.
