Archimandrite Sophrony
Translated from the Russian by Rosemary Edmonds
“The author believes ardently in the perfectibility of man, and with loud and tidal words stokes our fires. He declares roundly, over and over again, that prayer is the surest way to true knowledge of God. God for him is presence, manifesting Himself in all things. We all possess a divine spark. Our freedom is in direct proportion to the degree of consciousness possessed by us. Only the Eternal can give meaning to life. The collapse of an absolute value leads to the collapse of relative values. When God collapses, so does honour, honesty, loyalty and the like. A culture, a civilisation can only be as strong as the inner lives of its people. The only revolution that we should be thinking about is a personal, private moral one.”
