when I was a student I had met an amazing
child and we went to the holy mountain together
years passed he
married pure he had not touched no he
had not hurt nor had the woman touched a beautiful child
he became a scientist he got married he came to the holy mountain
he passed from my cell he was going elsewhere to another hermitage to a famous
ascetic and
once returning from that ascetic he stopped at my cell to
host him I hosted him because we were lovers from our student days
and he would come out the next day and tell me what is
happening to him the boat goes slowly in this place
until it climbs on top of the cell the time passed and they saw him with joy
we embraced him we welcomed him they gave him something to
eat the sun was setting and the old man of the cell says to him look let me tell you
we also have work to do now we will not deal with you take a
rosary sit on the chair and make a rosary because we have work we will
do yes blessed old man says my friend how much work should I do and
give me he says a big basket says the old man I will tell you when you will
stop I sat down in the chair and I began to pray, Lord Jesus Christ,
bless me, Lord Jesus Christ, bless me, Lord Jesus Christ, bless me, half an hour
passed, an hour passed, it started to get dark, an hour passed, two hours
passed, I got dark, why didn't you go to sleep, but he told me
that he will tell me when to stop I was speechless
he was a layman he was not a good old man good old man let's tell them to do
something like that they don't sit they don't obey like that and the
layman really did it the others forgot about him they had gone and
we slept four hours passed It's been 5 hours, my old man, he tells me
my back hurt, my back hurt, I didn't know what to do, well, I say what
were you thinking, he says nothing, when we make the wish, the mind must be
focused here, don't leave, I tell him, you didn't think that
people may have forgotten you no i thought he says that because you
are here with the old one tonight you will have some great saint with your own
calendar and he has a festive program and see his rosary and give him the
rosary with his mouth open what monk will do that that's not married
with children and I tell him hey where was your mind wandering a nowhere when he says with the
wish the mind must be focused on its place I tell him
your mind didn't go away at all it went away once you realize what I'm saying at 5 hours
it goes away his mind once to try to keep the mind
focused 5 minutes not 5 hours 5 minutes crystal no thoughts nothing and
you will understand what he will say 5 hours clear mind say the wish and what did you think
I tell him what I expected to hear and what to he says I thought of having a fishing line and
going down to the sea, who made a little fish and what an innocent calculation what an innocent
thought to understand the purity of man fortunately they spend a long
night in this procession in this cell every night and wake up at
midnight the old man goes to wash himself as if he saw in the dark something black on the
chair he drops the flashlight and sees the one with the leather jacket what are you doing he tells him you
couldn't sleep you woke up no old man I didn't go to sleep because
you had insomnia no old man you told me you would tell me you, when should I
stop, I imagine the shock that the elder would suffer, the same as I suffered, not
even a monk obeys his elder like that, not secular, even if
it was a feat, so the elder
immediately understood what this child had achieved and to not fall pride to
protect him don't let the devil throw him in pride he took him in a row
owl fool everyone would understand that I forgot you but where will
your pride leave you where will your mind leave you understand what
everyone would understand go away from here go to your bed aman old man
he tells me he made me a mess I was climbing the stairs and he was dragging me from behind
my ears were on which from what I heard you sleep standing up you sleep
sitting down go to sleep and even lying down I went upstairs he was right he
told me I should have I understand, he wasn't right, of course I tell him I was right too,
don't tell him, well done, what did you do, of course he was right, you should have understood that
he forgot you, he needed philosophy, that's the way it is, my old man,
you're right, and the old man went into his room, closes the door, locks
the door, takes off his shirt, the devil was
furious to see such a feat from a married man, he was
furious and appeared as soon as he had left the shirt on the hanger
grabs him by the neck he's wearing a cascorset sleeveless tank top grabs him by the back
of his shirt grabs him by the waistband of his pants lifts him
up in the air knocks him on the bed and kicks him in the stomach what a horror
he was my old man he says what was that, that was crazy,
my mind almost went out of my head, I heard his voices and his rolls down
to the beach below, they broke the door to get in to
save him, because I said all this, it's all over, he's not afraid damn our virtues
no matter how many virtues we acquire the virtues the devil has we will never
acquire them our virtues will save us if there is no love and humility
after years of seeing him at his home
with many children in front of his wife he confessed to me
how he had fallen into a great carnal sin
he had been with a woman it seems his wife knew it and he didn't
care and he says wait my old man I will never fall
the ground left from under my feet such
pride on such a cliff had fallen from his electors
you expected me to fall archangel fell lucifer fell he
couldn't imagine that he would ever fall I never went back to his house nor
did I reunite him
I hurt so much I never leave him from my prayers a man of such
virtues will be found in such descents did you expect me to fall
, you see that the Christian, the devil, the one who struggles, he does not fight
with sins, you will not tell the one who struggles, go whores, no, I will not go, I
have a wife, my faith does not allow him, he will not tell him to steal, no I won't
steal what the devil will say to him bravo Nistelroi
so-and-so didn't succeed you and look how with one bravo with another bravo with
another bravo your horns reach the ceiling at the end and you are going to hell
with your virtues the Christian bread is definitely
virtuous but it is definitely not Christian
too who told you that Buddhists have no virtues who told you that Muslims have no virtues
if it does not say your virtues are more than those of non-
Christians you will not be saved it is not enough to have virtues humility we have
