When the gain is looked at closely it is seen as a gain. When it is looked at from afar it is seen as a loss.
When the loss is looked at closely it is seen as a loss. When the loss is looked at from afar it is seen as a gain.
The gaining of God is the only gain which remains a gain both when looking at closely and from afar.
Excerpt from Thoughts about good and evil – Saint Nicholas Velimirovich, Predania Publishing.
