Pleasure without conscience

Science without humanity

Knowledge without character

Politics without principle

Commerce without morality

Worship without sacrifice.

Reject yourself, your will, selfhood, dreams of yourself real and imaginary, reject all the idols that you have created for yourself on earth! Unite yourself first, at least in desire, with the one Truth, which is both Life and the Way! Unreliable for the Kingdom of God is a double-minded one. Why is he selling his birthright for a lentil stew! Write to him to give up all this, then maybe he will get better in body. Let him reject every thought with anger and the call of his Savior. This is the whole inner life! It is necessary to reduce the entire inner life into 8 words [the Jesus Prayer], through them to cleanse the form, the image, and otherwise - the thoughts and the heart, and otherwise - the temple of the living God, so that a similarity can enter a clean vessel ... Sapienti sat [with understanding enough ].

Let S. not be offended. If he fights, he will immediately add hemoglobin. Do not laugh. I assure you that it will be so.

Since he accepted the first diagnosis, let him accept the second, and then it will be seen.

We are about to die soon. What deeds can be discussed now for us, sick, weak and crippled? We are left with patience and sighing: God, be merciful to us, sinners! Hope firmly that if you die in this mood, you will enter the Kingdom of God, and avoid the enemies of salvation.
