A soul that is still moved by the charm of the material world ( St. Paisios )

A soul that is still moved by the charm of the material world reveals that the vain world still lives within. This is why it is drawn toward creation and not the Creator, to clay and not to God. It is of no significance if this clay is clean and not a swamp of sins, because man is related to the Spirit of God and through his spirit he unites with God through prayer.

St. Paisios
