Wisdom from the Fathers

As for the resolve to go away into the desert, as the fathers said, there are three conditions, which if anyone observes, he can live among people and in the deserts, and wherever he might go, namely: to reproach oneself, to leave one’s own will behind him, and to consider oneself lower than all creatures.

— Saints Barsanuphius and John
