The True Work Of God Is All

The Soul, When Accustomed To Superfluous Things, Acquires A Strong Habit Of Desiring Things Which Are Neither Necessary For The Preservation Of The Individual Nor For That Of The Species. This Desire Is Without Limit, Whilst Those Which Are Necessary Are Few In Number And Restricted Within Certain Limits; But What Is Superfluous Is Without End.

Another Fundamental Principle Taught By The Law Of Moses Is This: Wrong Cannot Be Ascribed To God In Any Way Whatever; All Evils And Afflictions As Well As All Kinds Of Happiness Of Man, Whether They Concern One Individual Or A Community, Are Distributed According To Justice; They Are The Result Of Strict Judgement That Admits No Wrong Whatever.

Nobody Is Ever Impoverished Through The Giving Of Charity.

When Reading My Present Treatise, Bear In Mind That By "faith" We Do Not Understand Merely That Which Is Uttered With The Lips, But Also That Which Is Apprehended By The Soul, The Conviction That The Object [of Belief] Is Exactly As It Is Apprehended. If, As Regards Real Or Supposed Truths, You Content Yourself With Giving Utterance To Them In Words, Without Apprehending Them Or Believing In Them, Especially If You Do Not Seek Real Truth, You Have A Very Easy Task As, In Fact, You Will Find Many Ignorant People Professing Articles Of Faith Without Connecting Any Idea With Them.

I Believe With Perfect Faith That The Creator, Blessed Be His Name, Is Not A Body, And That He Is Free From All Accidents Of Matter, And That He Has Not Any Form Whatsoever.
