Where they are

I’ve seen hundreds of people weep bitter tears over the fruits of sin. I’ve never seen anyone cry because they’ve followed the path of experience of the saints. On the contrary, whereas in the eyes of the world they seemed  unfortunate, their heart was in fact full of heavenly joy and inexpressible bliss. We often wish people had even a fraction of this, so that they could finally understand where the happiness they seek is to be found.
