"Dear brethren," said the Abbot, "the seven years of your seeking have not been wasted if you have truly learned so much.  Far from home have I never gone, but many things have come to me.  To be ever, and to be tranquilly, and to be joyously, and to be strenuously, and to be thankfully and humbly at one with the blessed will of God--that is the Heavenly Paradise; and each of us, by God's grace, may have that within him.  And whoso hath within him the Heavenly Paradise, hath here and now, and at all times and in every place, the true Earthly Paradise round about him."
