Excerpt from The Interior Life: Simplified and Reduced to Its Fundamental Principle

But the senses are unacquainted with these joys; they perceive the tears and the toil, the pains and the uphill character of the struggle this is why we instinctively dread the depths in which the work has to be done. It is easy to delude oneself, when, on the one hand, one has no difficulty in finding joys that seem quite pure, and, on the other, one sees a strife which scarcely appears quite necessary - More over, pretexts abound for preferring immediate and easy sur face pleasures to the toil and combat Of the depths.
