From what we have just said, it is clear (I) that the object of our passions is not our good; that we must follow their impulses only for the preservation of our life; that sensible pleasure stands to our good as our sensations stand to the truth, and that just as our senses deceive us with regard to the truth, our passions deceive us with regard to the good; that we should yield to the delight of grace because it leads us with certainty to the love of true good, that it is not followed by the secret reproaches of reason as are instinct and the confused pleasure of the passions, and that it is always accompanied by a secret joy in proportion to the state we are in; that finally, since only God can act on the mind of man, man can find no happiness outside of God.
