Since this is how believers will think in Paradise, their true
home, they must establish this point of view in this world,
which is no more than a preparation for the world to come.

our Lord, recognize its value, learn to enjoy it, and be thankful.
The blessings of Paradise that we will look at in the fol-
lowing pages must be examined from this point of view.
