49. In regard to God, the possibility of loving and being loved in return cannot be found in others who have in them anything of the infinite, or anything of the essence and life of love in itself, or anything of the Divine. For if they were to have in them anything of the infinite, or of the essence and life of love in itself, that is, anything of the Divine, God would not in that case be loved by others, but would be loving Himself. For the infinite or Divine is indivisible. If this were to exist in others, they would be the Divine, and the love would be love of self, not a particle of which can possibly exist in God. For the love of self is altogether opposite to the Divine essence. Consequently the possibility of loving and being loved in return must be found in others who have in them nothing of the Divine in itself. It will be seen below that this is possible in beings created by the Divine. The possibility, however, requires infinite wisdom, in union with infinite love. That is, it requires the Divine love of Divine wisdom and the Divine wisdom of Divine love (of which above, nos. 34-39).
