" "All acts and facts are a product of spiritual power, the successful ones of power which is strong enough; the unsuccessful ones of power which is too weak. Does my behavior in respect of love affect nothing? That is be¬ cause there is not enough love in me. Am I powerless

That means that I myself have not yet completely laid aside small-mindedness and envy. Is my love of peace misunderstood and scorned?
That means that I am not yet sufficiently peace-loving.
