about

-


“do you want therefore, beloved,
to take up the solitary life for what it is,
and to race after the trophies of stillness?

leave behind the concerns of the world,
the principalities and powers set over them;
that is, stand free of material concerns and the passions,
beyond all desire,
so that as you become a stranger
to the conditions deriving from these,
[and] you may be able to cultivate stillness properly.

for if one were not to extricate himself from these,
he would not be able to live this way of life successfully”.
