\u201cWhat to Look For in the Assembly of Friends\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When they gather, each of them should think that he has now come for the purpose of annulling self-love. It means that he will not consider how to satisfy his will to receive now, but will think as much as possible only of the love of others. This is the only way to acquire the desire and the need to acquire a new quality, called \u201cthe will to bestow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And from love of friends, one can reach love of the Creator, meaning wanting to give contentment to the Creator. It turns out that only in this does one obtain a need and understanding that bestowing is important and necessary, and this comes to him through love of friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
