The next step one takes after belief is the love of God. In the one who only believes in God, God is not living; it is in the one who loves God that God is living. But even that is not sufficient, for what is human love? The human being is limited, and so his love is limited. The more one has seen of the world, the more one knows human nature, the better one knows the falseness of human love. How can one who cannot be constant in his feeling for a human being who is near him, be true in his love for the Beloved whom he has never seen? Therefore even what man calls the love of God is not sufficient.
