Metropolitan Nikolaos:
At some point, St. Paisios says “Guys, I am going to talk straight, spiritual life is easy, 'For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light', says Christ." Then my brother responds but “small is the gate and narrow the road”... “It’s the fats” he replies. “If the fats leave then you become thin and you fit through the narrow road…” And what did he mean by fats? “Egoism, our passions and importantly beware of the egoism of your brain”. This idea that someone has for himself “I can understand everything, I can do everything, I am powerful”, this is a trend of our times.
