If you are a friend of God, why have you divinized yourself falsely and created what He did not create? Pass on a little from here, that you might accomplish what is beautiful. If there is a shadow in your place and your world is temporal, stand at the foot of the mountain and be ashamed that you did not give up this world and did not receive the Eternal One. Persevere yet a little in the place that is difficult for you, if the light does not yet shine from the lamp of your ascetic life. (L39)
