Let none suppose that they can live a life of selfishness, and then, having served their own interests, enter into the joy of their Lord. In the joy of unselfish love they could not participate. They would not be fitted for the heavenly 365 courts. They could not appreciate the pure atmosphere of love that pervades heaven. The voices of the angels and the music of their harps would not satisfy them. To their minds the science of heaven would be as an enigma.

Ingen må mene, at de kan leve et liv i egennytte og, når de så har tjent deres egne interesser gå ind til deres herres glæde. De ville ikke kunne tage del i uegennyttig kærligheds glæder De ville ikke være egnede til at bo i de himmelske sale. De ville ikke kunne sætte pris på den rene, kærlige omgangstone, der findes i Himmelen. De ville ikke finde tilfredsstillelse ved at lytte til englesangen og harpe musikken. Himmelens videnskab ville være en gåde for dem.
