St. Anthony lived in the desert, when it approached the young man. "Father, I sold everything that belonged to me, and gave the proceeds poor. I have only a few things that might help me survive here. I would ask you to show me the way to salvation." St. Anthony asked a guy selling a few things, which he retained, and the money to buy a little meat in the city. When he returns, he should tie the meat to his body. The young man did as he was told. With the return of his attack dogs and falcons, who wanted meat. "I came back," said the young man, showing his father his wounded body, and torn clothing.

The teacher said: "Many people are afraid of happiness. For them to live a full life means a lot to change their habits - and lose their sense of identity. We often resent good deeds to dump on us. We do not accept them because it forced us to feel that We owe it to God. We think: 'Better not drink from the cup of happiness, because when it is empty, we are seriously affected'.

The student said: "All the teachers say that spiritual treasure gets an individual search. Then why are we all together?" "You are together because the forest is always stronger than одинокое tree," replied the teacher. "The forest preserves moisture, resists hurricane and helps the soil to be fertile.

The fact that we are together for one purpose, allowing a person to grow their own way, and This way those who want to connect with God. "

We are fully engaged in action, the commission of acts, the problems to be different. We always try to schedule something, to decide something else, find the third. There is nothing wrong - end of all, this is how we build and change the world. But delight too is part of life. To stop from time to time to escape from himself, and to stand in silence in front of the universe. To get on their knees the body and soul. Not demanding anything, without thinking, not even because of anything. Just to get the warmth of love that surrounds us. At such moments may appear unexpected tears - not tears of happiness or sadness. Do not be surprised that. This is a gift. Tears cleanse your soul.
