The Gospel of Thomas...

Jesus saith, Let him who seeketh continue seeking until he findeth. When he findeth, he will be troubled at the contemplation of Truth, but when he hath passed through the time of trouble, he will be astonished at the glory of the Light, for the Way of Truth is the pathway to the Eternal Godhead and the price of the price of the beatific vision is the wringing of the soul. He who would rise above all things must descend below all things, for the way to the heights passeth through the depths of anguish which generate the fires of Life. Blessed is the man who hath suffered and found Life.
