"Be at peace with your own soul; then heaven and earth will be at peace with you. Enter eagerly into the treasure house that is within you, and so you will see the things that are in heaven; for there is but one single entry to them both. The ladder that leads to the kingdom is hidden within your soul. Flee from wrongdoing, dive into yourself, and in your soul you will discover the stairs by which to ascend."
(St. Isaac the Syrian, a 7th century Desert Father)
