And the heart seems to be treated\r\nsomewhat like a caravanserai. For the latter has holes and ruts made\r\nin it, and is often filled with dung; men living filthily in it, and\r\ntaking no care for the place as belonging to others. So fares it with\r\nthe heart as long as there is no thought taken for it, being unclean,\r\nand the abode of many demons. But when the alone good Father visits it,\r\nit is sanctified, and gleams with light. And he who possesses such a\r\nheart is so blessed, that “he shall see God.””<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_228\" id=\"FNanchor_228\">[228]</a></p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK II.","CHAPTER XX.
