DLW 427 - The Conjunction of Charity With Faith, and the Will With the Intellect

DLW 427

These loves are differentiated by the fact that
celestial love is a love of good,
while spiritual love is a love of truth;
for people who are motivated by celestial love
perform useful services from a love of good,
whereas those who are motivated by spiritual love
perform useful services from a love of truth.
Celestial love's marriage is with wisdom,
while spiritual love's marriage is with intelligence;
for it is the mark of wisdom
to do good in accord with good,
and the mark of intelligence
to do good in accord with truth.
Consequently celestial love does what is good,
and spiritual love does what is true.
