"Man... is the sum of all the degrees of imperfection,... (but) possesses the degrees of perfection... Then, if the divine power in man which is his essential perfection, overcomes the satanic power which is absolute imperfection, he becomes the most excellent among the creatures; but if the satanic power overcomes the divine power, he becomes the lowest of the creatures." (Bwf 331- 2)
(56:3)
