One man's wife died. Heartbroken, he abandoned everything he was doing and succumbed to despondency. The rooms were filled with rubbish and dust. And the owner himself took on the appearance of a completely degraded man. The neighbor felt sorry for the unfortunate widower, and he suggested that he at least wash himself. “Why wash? - the widower objected. – If in one room I have complete garbage, and in the other there is dust? I can’t wash myself off anymore.” “If you, in your house, have garbage in one room and dust in another,” exclaimed the neighbor, “then either put them in order, or don’t go in there. Just rub your eyes and you’ll immediately see what needs to be done.” “If your eye is clean, your whole body will be full of light” (Matthew 6:22). monk Simeon of Athos Mysterious conversations or hidden truths
