ALL GUARDIANS ARE BORN OF NEED AND ABUNDANCE.

Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
Open passage
6. To explain the nature and birth of Love, we shall have to expound the significance of his mother Need to his father Abundance, and to show how such parents suit him. We shall also have to show how such parents suit the other Guardians, for all Guardians, by virtue of their being Guardians, must have the same nature, unless, indeed, Guardians have only that name in common.

IT IS AN ERROR TO CONSIDER THE LOVE AS IDENTICAL WITH THE WORLD. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEITIES AND GUARDIANS.
