The brother asked the elder:
- What kind of good deed could I do and live with him?
The elder answered:
- God knows what is good. I heard that one of the elders asked Abba Nesteroi: “What good deed should I do?” Abba answered him: “Aren’t all things equal?” Scripture says: “Abraham was hospitable, and God was with him; Elijah loved silence, and God was with him; David was meek, and God was with him.” So, see what your soul desires according to God, then do it and guard your heart.
