"The whole material universe is preserved by gravity, or attraction, or the mutual tendency of all bodies to each other. One part of the universe is hereby made beneficial to another. The beauty, harmony and order, regular progress, life and motion, and in short, all the well-being of the whole frame, depends on it. This is a type of love or charity in the spiritual world."(pg. 64)
I think this quote is saying that the entire universe is based off of and held together by the relationships that are made between the organisms in that universe. Everything in this world has all it needs to survive and that is how generous the spiritual world is to all its creatures. Every animal has its mutual opposite that needs it as much as they need it. The universe is based off of this and will continue to create and destroy to keep the harmony that we see everyday.
