The struggle between good and evil as a person grows up moves from children's fairy tales to real life. This choice is made every day, even in the smallest details. The book “Wise Thoughts,” which was published in , contains statements, dialogues and stories of holy ascetics of the first centuries of Christianity - the golden age of monasticism.

Preface

Our ideas about the world around us, even in childhood, are formed through the concepts of “good” and “bad,” “good” and “evil.” Each of us also has an inner judge. This is conscience. It is not for nothing that conscience is called the voice of God. Without sensitivity to the voice of conscience, a person’s soul falls into a deplorable state and is struck by a craving for various vices. And conscience tends to become silent if a person constantly neglects it. And then distorted ideas about good and evil appear.

One Christian missionary asked a representative of the African Hottentot tribe: “What is bad?” The Hottentot replied: “This is when my neighbor beats me, steals my cattle and kidnaps my wife.” "What is good?" - asked the missionary. “And this is when I beat my neighbor, steal his cattle and kidnap his wife.” Are we not becoming like the Hottentots in pursuit of pleasure and material wealth?

The Lord Jesus Christ, pouring out his love and mercy on repentant sinners, harshly denounced the spiritual leaders of the people, who knew the Scriptures thoroughly and zealously followed hundreds of religious instructions. The Hottentot and the Pharisee, oddly enough, have a common platform - these are distorted ideas about good and evil. And the cause of this distortion is always egoism. Indeed, at the basis of the Divine teaching and human conscience is sacrifice, the opposite of egoism: love is determined by the readiness to sacrifice, after all, Christ ascended to the cross for our salvation.

Sacrifice and purity of conscience have always found their fullest expression in monastic service. The holy fathers of the golden period of monasticism labored in the deserts, fleeing from the well-fed privilege that was part of external life Christian Church along with the status of official religion Great Empire. The thoughts of these ancient fathers about good and evil, the thoughts of the Gospel - deep and wise, but childishly accessible and simple - can help each of us apply them to our conscience and our lives.

***

One of the fathers saw someone sinning. Then the elder wept bitterly and said:

- This one has fallen today, and I will fall tomorrow.

A certain brother asked Abba Anthony:

- Pray for me.

The elder replied:

- Neither I nor God will have mercy on you if you do not have mercy on yourself and please Him.

Abba Joseph was glorified by people as a great ascetic. One day one of the brothers came to him for advice. Contritely, he asked the question that had been tormenting him:

What should I do, father? I cannot endure sorrow, nor work, nor give alms.

- If you cannot fulfill any of this, then at least preserve your conscience in relation to your neighbor. Move away from all evil and you will be saved,” the elder answered him.

There once lived an old man to whom many came to learn the means to find the meaning of life and purity of heart.

- Ava, tell me how to save myself? - one of those who came asked him a question.

The elder replied:

- If you want to be saved, then when you come to someone, do not start talking until they ask you.

Struck by this word, the traveler bowed to the elder and said:

- Truly, I read a lot of books, but I did not know such instruction yet. - And he went, having received great benefit.

Abba Palladius said to his spiritual children:
- Soul, loving God, must either learn with faith what he does not know, or clearly teach what he knows. If she does not want to do either one or the other, then she suffers from madness. For the beginning of apostasy is satiety with teaching and words, which is what the soul of the lover of God thirsts for.

One brother who sincerely wanted to change asked Abba Sisoya:
- Why don’t passions leave me?

Because their vessels are inside you,” answered wise old man. - Give back what belongs to them, and they will leave.

While admonishing the monks, a certain elder said:

- If the soul has only words and no deeds, then it is like a tree that has flowers, but no fruit.

How to find God faster - by fasting, labor, vigil, or almsgiving? They asked the elder about this.

Christ-loving and compassionate, with a smile on his lips, he answered the monks:

- Many have exhausted their flesh recklessly - and have not received any benefit from it. Our lips breathe with fasting, we have studied the Scriptures by heart, but what God is looking for in us, we do not have: the fear of God, love and humility.

One of the holy fathers, who was a spirit-bearing mentor for his children, said that one must equally beware of both praise addressed to oneself and condemnation of one’s neighbor.

- Why is that? - his children asked.

- Nobody knows anything. The thief was on the cross and was justified by one word. was numbered with the apostles, and in one night he destroyed all his work and descended from heaven to hell. Therefore, let no one who does good boast: all who trusted in themselves fell in one moment of time.

The elder never looked into the monk’s inner cell. But one day I saw him eating food in violation of fasting. Then Abba said:

- Wonderful thing! We pray, imagining God to be everywhere and listening to our words; and when we sin, we do it as if He does not see us.
