238. Those with whom the love of self and the love of the world are dominant, do not know what heaven and heavenly happiness are; and it seems incredible to them that happiness should be possible in any other loves, than the above; when yet the happiness of heaven enters in proportion as the above loves are removed as ends. The happiness which succeeds on their removal is so great, as to exceed all human comprehension.
