Peace, tranquility. God kept the time of rest for the righteous in the next century (f. 36, p. 155). – The Holy Spirit encourages His participants not to seek rest, but to indulge in labor and sorrow (fn. 36, p. 155). – It is not the Spirit of God who lives in those who are at rest, but the spirit of the devil (f. 36, p. 155). – It is not the will of God that God’s beloved should rest (in this age) (fol. 36, p. 156). – It is impossible for someone who lives in bodily peace to abide in the love of God (f. 36, p. 156). – The desire for bodily peace removes a person from doing virtues and the kingdom of heaven (f. 49, p. 221). – With the desire for peace, we are like birds caught in a net (page 49, pp. 221–222). – And worldly things are due with difficulty, but we want to receive the kingdom of heaven without being deprived of peace (page 49, p. 222). – Renunciation of bodily peace is helped by remaining in non-covetousness (fol. 51, p. 225). – Above all virtues there should be a disregard for peace (page 51, p. 226). – Whoever runs around peace in this life, his mind has already looked ahead to the future century (f. 56, p. 277). – Divine ardor is not kindled in a heart that loves peace (fol. 56, p. 286). – If, without achieving humility, you experience peace, then do not trust yourself and expect great anxiety and rebellion (page 73, p. 370). – By sobriety in everything, a person prepares for himself great peace (fol. 75, p. 380). – Reckless people prefer small, close peace to a distant kingdom (page 75, p. 380). – The wise choose death in exploits rather than peace (page 75, p. 380). – Peace gives birth, nourishes and increases passions (fol. 77, p. 384). – The devil rejoices when we are at peace (fol. 77, p. 384). – When does God give a person peace? (fn. 77, p. 385). – Peace and idleness are the death of the soul, and more demons can harm it (fol. 85, pp. 411–412). – Those who give rest to their body must have prudence, so as not to ruin their self-protection, which is necessary in the work of God (f. 90, p. 427). – Resolution of feelings is more harmful than peace and relaxation, and why? (fn. 90, p. 428). -Peace harms only the young, but the destruction of feelings harms both the old and the young, and why? (fn. 90, p. 428).
