Why does evil hate you?

"If you truly want to take up the path of good you must be aware that you will not be able to escape attack from evil. In other words evil must hate you and fight you, and if, despite its attacks, you continue in the same divine direction, it is proof that you already have elevated yourself and are elevating yourself higher still. Why does evil hate you? Because you have not sided with it. Otherwise evil would be protecting you, mollycoddling you, rocking you to sleep so that you stay under its influence a little while longer. If, on the other hand, you escape its clutches, if you refuse to put yourself in its service, then you arouse its hatred. But it is in fact thanks to this hatred that you will go far. Evil has shown itself relentless and merciless to all the great initiates and those who were able to interpret the situation could see in it a clear sign. Because only those who have been hated by evil to the very last are worthy of receiving the supreme Initiation. Those who did not understand, of course, said: 'Oh, the poor soul; how unkind fate has been to him.' But those who knew, rejoiced and said: 'He is destined to reach great heights.'"
