Quote by Charles Dickens
There are some upon this earth of yours,' returned the Spirit, 'who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name; who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us.
Summary
In this quote, the Spirit warns that there are individuals who falsely associate themselves with higher beings or ideals. These people perpetuate negative actions such as hatred, envy, and selfishness, claiming that it is done in the name of these higher beings. However, the Spirit emphasizes that these individuals do not truly understand or belong to the realm they claim to represent. It urges us to recognize and hold these individuals responsible for their own actions, rather than attributing them to the higher teachings or beliefs they falsely claim to follow.
