“How mistaken
are those people who seek happiness outside of themselves, in foreign lands and
journeys, in riches and glory, in great possessions and pleasures, in
diversions and vain things, which have a bitter end! In the same [way,] to
construct the tower of happiness outside of ourselves as it is to build a house
in a place that is consistently shaken by earthquakes. Happiness is found
within ourselves, and blessed is the man who has understood this. Happiness is
a pure heart, for such a heart becomes the throne of God. Thus says Christ of
those who have pure hearts: “I will visit them, and will walk in them, and I
will be a God to them, and they will be my people.” (II Cor. 6:16) What can be
lacking to them? Nothing, nothing at all! For they have the greatest good in
their hearts: God Himself!”
