“What is—to love?” replied the spirits.
“To love is to give oneself to others,” replied God. ”Those who love will suffer, but they will be loved.”
“We have the right to give nothing, and we wish to suffer nothing,” said the spirits, hating love.
“Remain in your right,” answered God, ”and let us separate! I and Mine wish to suffer and even to die, to love. It is our duty!”
The fallen angel is then he who, from the beginning, refused to love; he does not love, and that is his whole torture; he does not give, and that is his poverty; he does not suffer, and that is his nothingness; he does not die, and that is his exile. The fallen angel is not Lucifer the light-bearer; it is
Satan, who calumniated love.
To be rich is to give; to give nothing is to be poor; to live is to love; to love nothing is to be dead; to be happy is to devote oneself; to exist only for oneself is to cast away oneself, and to exile oneself in hell.
Heaven is the harmony of generous thoughts; hell is the conflict of cowardly instincts.
The man of right is
Cain who kills Abel from envy; the man of duty is Abel who dies for Cain for love.
And such has been the mission of
Christ, the great Abel of humanity."

) ги поврзува Луцифер и Христос во една ијдеа, толку незабележително за неизвежбаното око што поминува туку така
Добро се криел зад свештеничката католичка облека, криејќи ги иницијантските обележја добро за да не пострада.
