Before there can be
any external freedom,
man must learn
to find the way to
freedom within himself.
The contemplative,
who had restored
in his own soul
the image of God,
was the truly free man
for he alone could
walk with God,
as Adam had walked
with Him in Paradise.
(Reference to St. Gregory of Nyssa)
