When man is prejudiced against man and still says, "I love God", how can God be pleased with that kind of love? How can that be true love for God which refuses to see the beauty that is before it? If God said, "If you wish to see Me, see Me in the face of man; that is My own image" this would show what true love is. Also, if a person claiming to love an artist were to say to him, "I love you very much, but I cannot bear to look at your picture", what kind of love could that be? The artist has given all his soul and life to that art; his very self has, so to speak, become art, and his whole satisfaction lies in our appreciation of his art. How can those claim to love the Creator who do not love what He has created? For God could never have become known had there been no manifestation. So he who does not find sufficient beauty to admire in His manifestation cannot pretend to love God.
