The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Golden Sayings of Epictetus by Epictetus: must strive with all his might to be made like unto him. If the
Divine is faithful, he also must be faithful; if free, he also
must be free; if beneficent, he also must be beneficent; if
magnanimous, he also must be magnanimous. Thus as an imitator of
God must he follow Him in every deed and word.

and, to crown all, that you know neither what God nor Man is--
neither what Good or Evil is: why, that you are ignorant of
The Golden Sayings of Epictetus |
