The true pleasure and happiness depend upon the spiritual
perception and enjoyment. The powers of mind are the bounties of God given to
man to lead him toward spiritual happiness. The highest grace in man is to love
God. Love of God, knowledge of God is the greatest, the only real happiness,
because it is nearness to God. This is the kingdom of God. To love God is to
know Him. To know him is to enter his kingdom, and to be near him.
