AE 409d [7]
For the love of self and of the world
is the opposite of love to the Lord and love towards the neighbor.
For this reason,
those who are in the heavenly love
would rather die
or be deprived of honors and wealth in the world
than be drawn away from the Lord and from heaven by them;
for this they regard as the all, because it is eternal,
but the former as relatively nothing,
because it comes to an end with life in the world.
