When God breathed the pure breath of life into Adam's body, which consisted only of earth and water, he did not wish the host of angels to know or even suspect it. Therefore he said to them: "Bow down before Adam, you heavenly spirits!"
All bowed to the earth, and when their faces were in the dust, God breathed life into Adam, and none of them saw the secret that God wanted to hide from them - no one except Lucifer, who said to himself, “Nobody should see me bend my knees Even if my head fell off my body, it wouldn't be as bad as acting on God's will. I know very well that it is not just that Adam is on earth, and I also know that he is not all earth; so I refuse to bow my head and not see the secret. "
So, instead of bowing, Lucifer watched and saw the mystery. Afterwards God said: “O you who ambushed me and stole my secret! As a punishment, I will bring about your death, because I don't want any being except me to know about it. When an earthly king hides a treasure, he kills the person who is there and saw it. You are that person. "
“Lord,” said Lucifer, “grant me respite, for I am your servant, and explain to me how I can make amends for my sin.” “Since you ask me,” said God, “I will grant you a respite. But from this moment on I put the chain of the curse around your neck and impose the names 'liars' and 'slanderer' on you so that everyone will be on their guard until the day of resurrection. "
Lucifer replied, “What do I have to fear from your curse now that this pure treasure has been revealed to me? Not only the curse, but grace also comes from you. For every poison there is an antidote. You curse some creatures, you bless others. Now that I have been absent, I am one of the cursed creatures. "
If you cannot discover and understand the secret I am talking about, it is not because it does not exist, but because you are not looking for it properly. If you make a distinction between things that come from God, you are not on the path of the Spirit. If you believe the diamond honors you and the stone humiliates you, God is not with you. You shouldn't love the diamond or detest the stone, for both come from God. If your lover throws a stone at you in a moment of excitement, it is better than a gem from another woman.
On the path of self-perfecting one must not be in default for a moment. If you stop working on yourself even for a moment, you will immediately slide back.
