Sayings of the Desert Fathers
monks learning

#35

إعلم يقيناً أن كل إنسان يأكل ويشرب بلا ضابط
ويحب أباطيل العالم فإنه لا يستطيـع أن
ينال شيئاً من الصلاح بل ولن يدركـه
لكنـــــه يخــــدع نفســـــــه.
القوى القديس الأنبا موسي

Know well that every person that eats and drinks uncontrollably and loves the vanities of this world will not gain any righteousness, but rather deceives himself.

-St. Moses the Strong
