Never love anything so much that you lose sight of God.
Explanation: God who is perfection of all virtues is the only love of the wise. The moment one loses sight of God and mixes up the love of the world (the manifestation) the soul becomes corrupt with impure influences.
If you ever love your wife or a woman more than God she will become a source of misery for you. It is the same for work, research, cultivation, your people and your nation. All these things fall short of the standard of god and the love of them is sinful.
However if you love only god then you have a love that can never fail, that is unchanging, that is present with you always, and that will be channeled through everything you do. If you keep god in mind as you go through the work of life then you will forever be living in his grace, blessed in all your operations, and in having sight of god in every person you speak with and everything your hand touches you will lend nothing of your strength to the wicked and the evil and the good will grow in yourself and all you influence.
Never do, think, or be moved by anything other than Virtue.
Take every opportunity to grow the good in others and they will become dominated by virtue. Waste your efforts in resisting evil and it will only grow. Like begets like; holy love sanctifies all.
The love of god is only for the things that are of God and nothing else. The love of god is not blind. We must leave behind the things that are not of God (aka Virtue). God's love is the only love that purifies and brings things into their correct order.
You must know yourself apart from your vices, apart from corruptible substance, apart from your thoughts; and knowing your self you will cease to be identified with anything other than the spirit (actual self) and be not subject to a false image. You are the image of God.
