70. Every human being is born into ignorance of the truth and lusting after evil, for his soul, which is derived from his father, is evil affection. The Lord alone was born hungering for good and desirous of truth, for His Soul, which was derived from the Father, was the Divine Itself, thus the affection belonging to Divine Love, or Divine Love from which He overpowered the external that was from the mother.
