The Ideal Food

Chapter 33

When one is without love towards the microscopic beings that constitute the "substance" in our own organism

It now remains for me to say only that the purpose of this book has particularly been to show that in order to gain a completely happy fate one must learn not only to love one's fellow beings and other visible and universally known species or forms of living being, but that one must also learn to practise the great commandment of love in our relation to those forms of life that, in the shape of substance, elude our physical sight and which constitute the microcosmos in our own organism; only through this can we hope for a similar kindness or glorified existence from the great macrocosmic being in whose organism we ourselves are the microcosmos. So it has been my wish to give my readers an understanding of the fact that without the practising of love towards our own organism's myriads of small, microscopic rightful inhabitants there can be absolutely no perfect observance of the fifth commandment, absolutely no qualification for being a perfect instrument in the divine world plan, in the divine order of individuals, in the divine consciousness. And without this identity the individual must still be a sick and imperfect being, bound to lower forms of existence, still satisfied with being a manifestation of a mere shadow of the existence whose mental sunlight he is in reality meant to be.
