Be careful not to waste your precious energies on redundant worries and vanities , which will turn to dust one day. ( St. Paisios )

 

Be careful not to waste your precious energies on redundant worries and vanities , which will turn to dust one day.

When you do this , you not only tire your body, but you also scatter your mind aimlessly, offering God only your fatigue and yawns at the time of prayer, much like the sacrifice offered by Cain.

It follows that your inner state will be like that of Cain's, you will be full of anxiety and sighs, provoked by the devil standing by your side.


St. Paisios
