ON “DEGREES OF BEAUTY AND EXCELLENCE”

“Suppose a person entering a house were to feel the heat on the porch, and going further, was to feel the heat increasing, the more they penetrated within. Doubtless, such a person would believe there was a fire in the house, even though they did not see the light that must be causing all this heat. A similar thing will happen to anyone who considers this world in detail: one will observe that all items are arranged according to their degrees of beauty and excellence and that the nearer they are to God, the more beautiful and better they are.”
