Upon the petals of its cup the God

This, as we have formerly observed, is the fundamental
character of sensuous Self-love,--that it requires a Life
fashioned in a particular way, and seeks its Happiness in
some particular object; while, on the contrary, the Love of
God regards every form of Life, and all objects, but as
means; and knows that everything which is given is the
proper and necessary means; and therefore never desires
any object
determined
in this or that particular way, but
accepts all as they present themselves.
