Do not hate.

 

Do not hate.

“For all those who wish to have knowledge of Love, which is the beginning and end of all virtues and all effort, they have only to see what is hate. For hate is the most odious of all things, and which can never be pardoned. Thus, if man considers nothing more detestable than hate, he is then of God, who never manifests Himself completely except by Love. I say to you, if a family member, even your brother, presents a difficult character in his relations with you, but if you know, however, that he loves you from the bottom of his heart, you will endure his acrimony with a certain indulgence. If, on the contrary, you know that he hates you, from some cares, some caresses with which he surrounds you, you will be unable to bear his presence. It is certain that hatred is the worst iniquity, it is like the abyss of Charybdis, a monstrous thing that envelops, stifles and kills. For one can only live through the Spirit, which is Love in substance.”

“There is no sin greater than hate. People have said to me that there are others. Not so; and as for me, I say that those who seek to become adepts of Truth must first hear the truth.”

“For it is certain that there is no remission for he who sins against the Spirit, not now nor ever, for the Spirit is the Love of God, and he who has not the Spirit has not Love. Now, Love is attracted to Love. Where there is hate, the Spirit is not, that is to say, there, there is only death.”
