      #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
