How
there
are
five
kinds
of
tears
.
Then
said
the
Supreme
and
Sweet
Truth
of
God
, "
Oh
,
beloved
and
dearest
daughter
,
you
beg
knowledge
of
the
reasons
and
fruits
of
tears
,
and
I
have
not
despised
your
desire
;
open
well
the
eye
of
your
intellect
and
I
will
show
you
,
among
the
aforesaid
states
of
the
soul
,
of
which
I
have
told
you
,
concerning
the
imperfect
tears
caused
by
fear
;
but
first
rather
of
the
tears
of
wicked
men
of
the
world
.
These
are
the
tears
of
damnation
.
The
former
are
those
of
fear
,
and
belong
to
men
who
abandon
sin
from
fear
of
punishment
,
and
weep
for
fear
.
The
third
are
the
tears
of
those
who
,
having
abandoned
sin
,
are
beginning
to
serve
and
taste
Me
,
and
weep
for
very
sweetness
;
but
since
their
love
is
imperfect
,
so
also
is
their
weeping
,
as
I
have
told
you
.
The
fourth
are
the
tears
of
those
who
have
arrived
at
the
perfect
love
of
their
neighbor
,
loving
Me
without
any
regard
whatsoever
for
themselves
.
These
weep
and
their
weeping
is
perfect
.
The
fifth
are
joined
to
the
fourth
and
are
tears
of
sweetness
let
fall
with
great
peace
,
as
I
will
explain
to
you
.
I
will
tell
you
also
of
the
tears
of
fire
,
without
bodily
tears
of
the
eyes
,
which
satisfy
those
who
often
would
desire
to
weep
and
cannot
.
And
I
wish
you
to
know
that
all
these
various
graces
may
exist
in
one
soul
,
who
,
rising
from
fear
and
imperfect
love
,
reaches
perfect
love
in
the
unitive
state
.
Now
I
will
begin
to
tell
you
of
these
tears
in
the
following
way
."
