Nothing could be more dreary, nothing more desolating, nothing more anti-vital than this happiness, this beatitudo, of Spinoza, that consists in the intellectual love of the mind towards God, which is nothing else but the very love with which God loves Himself (prop, xxxvi.).
Ez dago ezer tristeagorik, ezer ez da etsigarriagorik, ezer ez bizitzaren aurkakoagorik, zorion, beatitudo, spinozar hori baino, Jainkoaganako maitasun intelektualean datzana, Jainkoaren maitasuna bera besterik ez dena, Jainkoak bere burua maitatzeko duen maitasuna (36. prop.).
