शुरुआत हमें ही करनी होगी। अगर हम प्रभु की ओर एक कदम बढ़ाते हैं, तो वह हमारी ओर दस कदम बढ़ाते हैं—वही प्रभु, जिन्होंने उस भटके हुए बेटे को दूर से ही देख लिया था, जिन पर दया आई और जो दौड़कर उसे गले से लगा लिया।

It is for us to begin. If we take one step towards the Lord, he takes ten towards us -- he who saw the prodigal son while he was at a distance, and had compassion and ran and embraced him.

निकिता स्टेथातोस के अनुसार, मनुष्य में तीन प्रकार की प्रवृत्तियां होती हैं: पहला सांसारिक मनुष्य, जो दूसरों को नुकसान पहुँचाकर भी केवल अपनी मौज-मस्ती में जीना चाहता है; दूसरा स्वभाविक मनुष्य, जो खुद को और दूसरों दोनों को खुश रखना चाहता है; और तीसरा आध्यात्मिक मनुष्य, जो खुद को कष्ट देकर भी केवल भगवान को प्रसन्न करना चाहता है। पहली प्रवृत्ति इंसानियत से भी नीचे की है, दूसरी सामान्य है, और तीसरी प्रकृति से परे यानी मसीह में जीवन है।

There are three kinds of nature in man, as Nicetas Stethatos further explains: the carnal man, who wants to live for his own pleasure, even if it harms others; the natural man, who wants to please both himself and others; and the spiritual man, who wants to please only God, even if it harms himself. The first is lower than human nature, the second is normal, the third is above nature; it is life in Christ.

हम उस इंसान पर ध्यान देते हैं जो हमेशा हाथ जोड़े और चापलूसी में लगा रहता है, और शायद कहते हैं कि वह कितना विनम्र है! लेकिन सच्चा विनम्र इंसान किसी की नजर में नहीं आता; दुनिया उसे जानती तक नहीं।

We notice the person who is for ever bowing and fussily servile, and perhaps say, How humble he is! But the truly humble person escapes notice: the world does not know him.

Nothing happens accidentally or in such a way that you cannot learn from it; you must understand this at once, for this is how your trust grows in the Lord whom you have chosen to follow.

धन-दौलत का मोह और तरह-तरह की चीजें इकट्ठा करने का लालच; शारीरिक (इंद्रिय) सुख की तड़प; सम्मान की लालसा जो ईर्ष्या की जड़ है; जीतने और सर्वसर्वा बनने की इच्छा; ताकत के घमंड का नशा; सजने-संवरने और लोगों को पसंद आने की चाह; तारीफ पाने की भूख; और शारीरिक सुख-सुविधाओं की चिंता। ये सब दुनिया की चीजें हैं; ये मिलकर हमें चालाकी से जकड़ कर रखती हैं और भारी बंधनों में बांध देती हैं।

Weakness for wealth and for collecting and owning things of different kinds; the urge for physical (sensuous) enjoyment; the longing for honour, which is the root of envy; the desire to conquer and be the deciding factor; pride in the glory of power; the urge to adorn oneself and to be liked; the craving for praise; concern and anxiety for physical well-being. All these are of the world; they combine deceitfully to hold us in heavy bonds.

एबट डोरोथियस बताते हैं कि अभ्यास के जरिए उसने अपनी ऐसी आदत डाल ली है कि वह किसी चीज की इच्छा नहीं रखता, और जिस इंसान की कोई इच्छा नहीं होती, उसके साथ सब कुछ वैसा ही होता है जैसा वह चाहता है। उसकी इच्छा भगवान की इच्छा के साथ एक हो जाती है, और वह जो कुछ भी मांगता है, उसे मिल जाता है।

Through practice he has accustomed himself to wish for nothing, and for a person with no wishes, everything goes just as he wishes, explains the Abbot Dorotheus. His will has coincided with God's will, and whatever he asks, he will receive.

जैसे ही आप ऐसा कोई सवाल किसी दूसरे इंसान से पूछते हैं बजाय इसके कि उसे अपने अंदर झाँक कर देखें, आपने खुद को जज के आसन पर बिठा लिया और इस तरह खुद का ही फैसला कर दिया। आपने अपनी संयम से कमाई हुई पूंजी गंवा दी; आप एक कदम आगे बढ़े थे लेकिन दस कदम पीछे हट गए; और फिर अपनी जिद, अपनी नाकामी और अपने अहंकार पर आंसू बहाने के अलावा आपके पास कोई वजह नहीं बचती।

As soon as you direct such a question outward to your fellow man and not inward to yourself, you have set yourself on a judgment seat and thereby judged yourself. You have robbed yourself of what you had won by your own continence; you have taken one step forward but ten backward: and then you have reason to weep over your obstinacy, your failure to improve, and your pride.

दूसरों की भलाई का कोई भी सच्चा काम मेरा नहीं, बल्कि भगवान का होता है। उसमें कोई बाधा नहीं आ सकती। केवल मेरे अपने सपनों, मेरी अपनी पढ़ाई की इच्छाओं, काम करने, आराम करने, खाने, या किसी की मदद करने के प्लान में ही कोई बाहरी रुकावट "बीच में आ सकती है," और तभी मुझे दुख होता है।
