It is through ordinary activities that human being gets into relations with the world. Those day-to-day activities are not conspicuous, but basic for the human-being. A tiny tale in The Gospel according to St. Luke, Martha and Mary shows us an impressive figure of those activities. Meister Eckhart's exegesis of this tale, of which we treat mainly in this essay, puts forward a noteworthy thought about those activities. He considers them as a manifestation of human perfectness. Martha, not Mary, embodies human perfectness, which has a dynamic double structure. Martha is a woman. This fact gives us another problematique. We deal with it also.
