УЕДИНЕНИЕ

1. Try to isolate yourself in your heart and there establish your consciousness before the face of God - walking before God The urge for solitude and silence... and even the impulses you experience are not of good quality. Therefore, it is better to drive them away, and put them in their place or create in the soul the desire to work - to overwork oneself. From time to time you have privacy - and that’s enough. At all other times, try to retire to your heart and there establish your consciousness before the face of God, which is walking before God (1, p. 248). You mentioned the superiority of solitude... It's good. But you can sit behind the walls, but with your mind you don’t know where to be. Consequently, in itself it is an insignificant thing (2, p. 201). You are now in your desert—a real desert woman. At first, this is how the ascetics lived. In the house, somewhere in a corner, they set up a kennel and buzzed there invisibly to anyone. It is not surprising that we soon returned to this rite of asceticism, with a general cooling towards the Church and monasticism moreover (3, p. 5354). 4. Advice and dreams of solitude Does your cell look at you welcomingly, as always?! If it’s friendly, you could try solitude for Lent! Now it has slipped my mind. Whatever your heart desires. Complete privacy, I mean. Until Easter. And curtain the window... Eh, that’s nice! eh! love... Someday the Lord will give me at least a week to stay like this... I was just about to go into the forest... but I don’t have to (3, p. 56). 5. How to replace church prayer in solitude If you don't go to church, don't worry. For God, every prayer from the heart is of equal value, no matter where it is offered. Only one habit makes a difference here. And you can get used to churchless prayer. Read less from prayer books. Pray more like this, on your own... and you can get by with just “Lord, have mercy”... Switch the services to bows and be satisfied through them. All hermits and solitaries did this. And it's much better than reading. If you don't read at all, you won't get by. But something for memory, without a book. Bless, Lord (3, p. 61)! 6. The heart should be like in a cell, that is, the Lord and you You are secluded and alone with the Lord. Bless, Lord, that it may be in your heart as in your cell, i.e. Lord yes you (3, p. 93). 7. Annoyance and anger at those who violate silence are the fruit of conceit Annoyance and anger when someone violates your privacy are no good... This is the fruit of conceit: don’t you dare disturb me. This is where the enemy makes his living near you. Try not to give in to this feeling. Hostility and anger are permissible only when their subject is bad thoughts and feelings (3, p. 121). 8. The desire for solitude indicates a good mood of the heart. Learning to walk before the Lord is the best solitude; going out into the wilderness is not a good idea The urge to solitude indicates a good mood in your heart, but you can satisfy it every day. As soon as you have freedom from business, retreat to your room... and try to be with the One Lord, go with your mind to your heart and there stand before the face of the Lord, praising Him, thanking Him and asking Him for beneficial spiritual benefits. By doing this, you will get used to it, you will walk before the Lord... That’s solitude, but why are you thinking of retiring into the wilderness... this is not a suitable business for you (3, pp. 159-160). 9. For solitude, you need to wait for certain instructions, maintaining inner silence The Lord approves of your desire for solitude, but does not indicate the time. We must wait for certain instructions, and before that, maintain inner silence and diligently continue the work of improving the monastery (3, p. 228). 10. About the fight against passions in solitude and in communication with others. The need to fight passions in society before solitude They tell you: “It is more meritorious to strive in the fame of life than to be saved in solitude.” And don't deny it. Those who truly strive do not have merit in mind, but only care about this in order to cleanse themselves of passions and passionate feelings and thoughts. For this purpose, life in communication with others is useful, because it represents actual experiences of struggling with passions and overcoming them. These victories hit passions in the chest and head, and their repetition soon kills passions outright. In solitude, the struggle is only mental, which is as weakly effective as the blow of a fly’s wing. That is why the mortification of passions in solitude takes longer. And what’s more, it always happens almost not by killing itself, but by freezing, freezing for a while before meeting objects of passion... Moreover, it happens that passion suddenly ignites like lightning. And it happens that someone who has had peace from passions in solitude for a long time suddenly falls. But someone who has achieved peace from passions through a struggle not mental, but real, will not be shaken by an unexpected attack. – This is the basis on which men experienced in spiritual life command to overcome passions by actually fighting them in communication with others, and after that to retire (4, pp. 12-13). 11. For those who want privacy, it can be arranged anywhere I kept thinking that your worries are not about solitude, but only about changing places, what is stopping you from saving yourself... And if solitude is required, then you can arrange it everywhere: close the doors, and here they are alone. If you can't do it here, you can't do it anywhere. And the reason is people-pleasing: you are afraid of reproach. Remaining like this, no matter where you go, you will still meet the same things and make all the same concessions (4, p. 14). 12. Instructions on solitary life for those who have severed all previous ties You have now spent a fair amount of time in your solitude, and your words very significantly define its advantages. For now, this is still just a theory, but I think it won’t be long before practice comes into its own. Theory is a courtier, and practice is a bear from the forest. It will start to break... just hold on. Help you, Lord! There would be zeal and determination to firmly go towards what was expected, and everything would go well, only not like a cast iron, but like pilgrims - on a pawn with a crutch (4, p. 22). I imagine your cell. Three walls, images... How many eyes do you see looking at you! What do they want? To see in you what is in their spirit...i.e. according to the spirit of the Lord, in whose image you were reborn and now have entered into the struggle to achieve similarity to Him. Saints are an example of this, pointers, as well as prayer assistants... These are all the wings they tie up for you. Fly - God will help you (4, p. 23)! 13. Solitude is a great beneficial state The solitude that awaits you is a great beneficial state. From the first days, try to establish an order of affairs and activities, directed towards one thing and so firmly adjacent to one another, so that there is not even a minute of idle time left. Idle time in a conspiracy with all the spirits against the poor soul... they will swoop in with the spirit and begin to tug at the soul, one - one thing, the other - offering another... yet caring about one thing, as if to tear attention away from God and turn it first to the empty, and then to something not entirely good (4, pp. 37-38). 14. Solitude helps you feel the sweetness of heartfelt prayer Do you suppose that the absence of monastic services will adversely affect your inner mood? But I think that when, having retired into yourself, God allows you to feel the sweetness and power of your heartfelt prayer, then you will not wish for such a prayer better (4, p. 49). 15. Congratulations on finding desert in your apartment Congratulations on finding desert in your apartment without having experienced it before. Grant, Lord, that you be settled in it, so that in this dispensation your spirit can remain undistracted from God (4, p. 62). 16. And in Moscow you can maintain privacy You regret the rural solitude. One would regret it if they moved to a small town; and in Moscow it is more convenient to maintain privacy even more than in the countryside. Everyone there is busy with themselves and doesn’t care about others. The streets are full of people, but you can walk through them as if through the desert. Just don’t affect anyone yourself... Don’t look for acquaintances and entertainment. The soul then, without being exposed to a variety of impressions, will carry on its own thoughts with itself... chew the cud... God willing, over time you will meet a like-minded friend... and with her you will block the door from others. Everything, however, has a peephole. You should maintain yourself everywhere, and everywhere this is work that requires struggle... Zeal for what is due, when present, will settle everything. The fear of God and attention are protection and peace. Always say the Jesus Prayer with faith and hope (4, p. 130). 17. Sit in your cell - and it will teach you everything Love to stay at home. Great... There is a rule of the elders: sit in your cell - and it will teach you everything. In the cell, the fathers order to pray, read, do handicrafts, moving from one to another. Set yourself up this way and you will live as if in paradise... as a master over yourself and over all your affairs... and then over your thoughts and feelings... The main thing here is to learn to always be in the only thing you need (4, p. 149). 18. About solitude amid the noise of the world You crave decisive solitude. Wait. External solitude will come on its own when internal solitude is established. God will arrange it. Take into account, however, that you can be secluded among the noise of the world and you can be, as in the turmoil of the world, in a solitary cell. You will have something better than external solitude if you become so isolated within yourself that no external turmoil can entertain you. Pray about this. Now it's more difficult for you. Your obedience entertains you. But let it teach you how to keep yourself inside, despite the external inconvenience (4, p. 227). 19. Minutes of solitude should be used to be inseparably with the Lord Hurry to take advantage of the moments of solitude you have for unentertained time with the Lord and sweet conversation with Him. Solitude in this spirit is sweet. I wish you to taste this sweetness someday, so that you will desire it as heaven on earth (9, p. 230). 20. How to take advantage of moments of solitude Here you are alone, but you’re bored! You are bored because there is a lot of distraction, and when you are left alone, you don’t know how to fill the time. Minutes of solitude must be used, turning them exclusively to the work of God - prayer and contemplation of God. These same classes, as long as they go at least a little smoothly, will not let you get bored. For they exude spiritual consolation that nothing on earth can give. I mean when, while reading, for example, the Gospel, questions arise and when, after proper deepening, the soul finds a satisfactory solution to them. There is a lot of spiritual consolation in this. And it’s all the more pleasant because one success irritates you even more, and then comes the skill for such activities. The soul will then become broad, swift in flight and multi-minded (8, pp. 6–7).
