Письмо 95
Machine translation from the original · Show original
I greatly grieve over your visions, that you have entrusted yourself to such terrible delusion, and you consider yourself worthy of such heights. The saints and great men did not dare to do this, but accepted it with great fear; and it was sent from God, according to a special vision, for the benefit of many. But they themselves were pure from all passions and always had peace within themselves, and you are only supposedly consoled when you see beauty, and after that, what a poor position you find yourself in! – is this a true vision?! May the Lord protect you from all the snares and snares of the enemy; and try with humility to find God’s help. I remain the desirer of your salvation, great sinner I.M. April 4, 1853.
