THE WAY OF PURIFICATION - Extreme Love of This Life THE WAY OF PURIFICATION PART I. CONVERSION CHAPTER 12 Extreme Love of This Life CHRIST, MY , learn wisdom from the folly of worldly people. See how hard they take their worldly losses! For an earthly gain men will labor and suffer so much, but their spiritual losses are so easily forgotten. They are often interested in matters which have little or no value, and they negligently pass over matters which are important. Their entire attention is often absorbed by external affairs. Unless you fight to control your thoughts, you too wull be enslaved by the passing events of the present moment. 2. How foolish are those who do not realize their mesirable condition, making this passing earthly life the only object of their desires! Some cling so to this life that, if they could remain here forever, they would not care at all for the Kingdom of God. They would prefer to stay on earth even though they might have to strain and struggle for the bare necessities of this earthly existence. 3. How foolish and blind these people are! They lie buried to deep in earthly things that they enjoy only to pleasures of the senses. In a short while, they will come to the end of their earthly life. Then they will have a bitter realization of the uselessness and nothingness of what they loved.
