إبتعد من نظر وسماع مــا لا
يفيد، فتتخلص من فعل ما
لا يفيـد القديس باسيليوس

Refrain from seeing and hearing what is not beneficial so that you will be freed from doing the unprofitable.

Sayings of the Desert Fathers

#39

إن الراهب غريب في أرض غريبــــــــة،
فإذا أراد أن يجد راحــــة فعليـــه أن لا
ُيشغل نفسه بأي شئ فيهــــــا.
القديس أرسانيوس

The monk is a sojourner in a strange land. If he wants to find true comfort, he must not occupy himself with anything in it.

-St. Arsenius
