On Asceticism
As
God illumines all people equally with the light of the sun, so do those who
desire to imitate God let shine an equal ray of love on all people. For
wherever love disappears, hatred immediately appears in its place. And if God
is love, then hatred is the devil. Therefore as one who has love has God within
himself, so he who has hatred within himself nurtures the devil within himself.
St.
Basil the Great
