AC 450, 452 - Heaven Is

AC 450

. . . heaven does not consist in being on high,
but is wherever there is any one who is in love and charity,
or in whom is the Lord's kingdom;
and that neither does it consist
in desiring to be more eminent than others,
for to desire to be greater than others is not heaven,
but hell.

AC 452

. . . heaven consists in this,
that from the heart
we wish better for others than for ourselves,
and desire to be of service to others
in order to promote their happiness,
and this for no selfish end,
but from love.
