Abbot Lot came to Abbot Joseph and said:
- Father, I try to live according to my conscience, keep fasts, pray, spend time in meditation and silent reflection. I cleanse my heart of sinful thoughts as much as I can. Tell me what else should I do?
The old man stood up in response. He extended his hand into the sky, and his fingers became like ten torches. He said:
“That’s what you need: you need to completely become fire.”
