308. Соединять ум с сердцем при молитве тебе еще рано. Молись со вниманием, удерживай помыслы свои от скитания

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n.
I received your letters. Thank God I calmed down. Humble yourself more, listen to Mother, reproach yourself and don’t judge others, then you will always be at peace. And if some temptation comes up, you must endure it with humility. Temptations are sent for our benefit, without them it is impossible...
If you are perplexed, then ask the treasurer with faith and fulfill it with diligence. Connecting your mind with your heart is not your business, you haven’t gotten there yet. And you must pray with attention, keeping your thoughts from wandering.
You write that there is no humility. This is not good. Humility is the basis of everything. Without humility, nothing will come of it—neither prayer nor obedience will bring any benefit.
Peace to you and God's blessing.
M. treasurer can tell you everything, all your sins. I send her blessings.
