AE 1144 - the order of life

AE 1144 [2]
A person is created to love self and the world,
to love the neighbor and heaven,
and to love the Lord.
For this reason when a person is born
he first loves himself and the world,
and afterwards, so far as he becomes wise,
he loves the neighbor and heaven,
and as he becomes still wiser
he loves the Lord.
Such a person is in the Divine order,
and is actually led by the Lord,
although apparently by himself.
