ΓΕΡΩΝ ΠΑΪΣΙΟΣ ΠΩΣ ΕΡΓΑΖΕΤΑΙ Ο ΔΙΑΒΟΛΟΣ

chapter two how the devil works the devil tries to christen

the warrior old man sometimes temptations come one upon

another and i can't bear to tell you a solution to avoid them will you accept yes

the only solution to avoid temptations is to make an alliance with the

devil what are you laughing at you don't like this solution look let me tell you as long as one

struggles he will have temptations and difficulties and as long as he tries to avoid

temptation the more the devil goes against him but with temptations if

we use them properly we are given the opportunity because some sometimes our life is

anti-evangelical, let it become evangelical, old man, I get involved in some trivial

things and then I have no desire to fight for something higher, these are like

the mines that the enemy lays in order to make the army a

mess when it sees that it cannot do another damage to the fighter looks

how to save him in trivial things then know that there are also

small tangalikas who do a lot of damage but once they asked a small

tangalika so what can you do me what can I do I go and tangle

her threads seamstresses to shoemakers

replied and I make them angry the biggest scandals are caused by

trivial things not only in us but sometimes also in the states in

spiritual people there are no serious reasons for

scandals from the little ones the devil takes an opportunity to crush a person mentally with

something stupid childish things so he does his heart as he wants and

there is no one left after a log because old man while I put a program a row

in my race and I am in the mood to fight soon I forget you don't you know the

tangalaki when he gets news that we are doing spiritual work the

button turns elsewhere, while we put a program in one row we find ourselves in another and if

we don't pay attention we realize it after days c that's why the fighter must

go all the way against the devil of course with discrimination and be watched by

an experienced spiritual person who does not do subtle work on

himself his satan fights him satan does not go to a useless man

but goes to a fighter to tease him and make him useless he does not waste

his time doing fine work to one who does not fine work

sends to him who sews devil with

sakura to him who does fine work sends devil who does

fine work to him who does high embroidery sends devil who does very

high work to those who do coarse work to himself sends

coarse devil to beginners sends novice devil to people who

have a delicate soul very honorable and they are sensitive, they need to be careful because

the devil also puts them on his tail and makes them more sensitive and they may

reach melancholy or even, God forbid, suicide,

while the devil makes us people go against our neighbor

and we argue he himself never goes against the negligent it

makes him more negligent it gives him rest with calculation your head hurts you are not

in the mood it doesn't matter if you don't get up for prayer it makes the reverent one more

reverent to throw him into pride or pushes him to struggle more

of his powers so that he can recover and leave behind all his spiritual

weapons and surrender the former multi-combatant makes the hard-hearted more

hard-hearted the hypersensitive and you see how many people some because they have

some sensitivity and others because their nerves have been shaken suffer

from insomnia and they take pills or they are tortured and

[music] I enjoy myself, man, balanced,

they became batteries, most people are like they have

electricity, those who do not even confess are under demonic influences,

they have a demonic magnetism because the devil has power

over the few people, whether boys or girls or old people they

have a view peaceful monism you know what

demonicism means not being able to get along with the world the devil

injects us with anesthesia I told some doctors who were discussing the

anesthesia they do in the operations of the temptation anesthesia has bad

effects on the person while the one that do you helps his anesthesia

of the devil is like the poison that the snake throws into the birds or the

bunnies to paralyze them and swallow them without reacting the devil

when he wants to fight a man he first sends a little

devil anesthetist to make the man unconscious first and then he goes

himself and he cuts him he does what he wants but first

the anesthesiologist injects us with

anesthesia and we forget to see the nuns we promise

insultingly and mockingly and finally the temptation

sometimes confuses us and we do the opposite of what we promised

otherwise we start and end up somewhere else we started to go and elsewhere

we go, we don't

pay attention, I haven't told you examples, in the past

there was no bank in Konitsa, people were forced to go to Yannena when they wanted to

get a loan, so some of them started from the surrounding villages and walked

72 km to get a loan to buy something thanks to a

horse then if anyone had a horse he could support

his family he mated with someone else's horse and plowed once one started

to go to the yannens to get a loan to buy a horse to plow

his fields and not be disciplined to he digs with the hoe, so he went to the

bank, got the loan, and then he passed by the Jewish stores and was fooling around,

the one Jew was watching him, pulling him in, take him in, barba, I have a good thing,

he came in, the Jew started taking the places off the shelves,

passing them he was shaking them take it he said it's good and for your children I'll

give it to you cheaper he was leaving one he was moving on he was fooling around in another come

barba me he was saying the Jew I'll give it to you cheaper he was taking down the places

he was opening them spreading them he was dizzy in Finally, the poor man also had a bit of charity, he tells you

now he took down the cloths, spread them out and supposedly for his children

, he gave the money he had taken from the bank cheaper

and I bought a cloth cloth but even that was a waste,

what should a rich man do? he couldn't say cloth, he took as much as he

needed, he finally came home with a pile of rotten cloth, which is the horse,

when I brought cloth for the children, he says, but what to do with it, so much cloth

was charged to the bank in the meantime, and he only got one horse topi pani

homeneni let him go digging with the hoe in the fields again and struggle

to pay off the loan if he bought a horse he would come back riding and buy

a few things for his house and he wouldn't kill himself digging with the hoe

but for fooling around in the Hebrew shops, you saw what happened, that's what he does, and the

devil, like a cunning merchant, pulls you from here, pulls you from there,

puts you in trouble and finally manages to get you where he wants,

where you start and where you end up, if you don't pay attention, he tricks you and you lose. your best

years the devil does everything to prevent

man from being helped the devil is a craftsman if he brings, for example during the divine

liturgy to a spiritual man a merciful calculation he will

understand him he will be shaken and he will drive him away c this brings him a spiritual

calculus such and such a book says to him write this for divine

liturgy then it will draw his attention for example to the chandelier he will

wonder who made it or it will remind him of a sick person he needs

to go see inspiration says the time liturgy

while it is the devil who intervenes and the man catches

the conversation with his calculation so he hears the priest say after fear and

then he understands that the liturgy is over and he did not

participate at all yes and here in the temple the church goes to light the

candles in the chandelier and I have noticed that even adults are distracted by the

temptation over there and they look at the sister how she lights the

candles, this is completely childish, only small children are happy with something

like this and say light them, that is, this

is for small children justified but for adults or while we have to

avoid movements during the liturgy, the temptation can be

that during that holy hour a sister turns in the lectern the genders of the book

to make noise and distract the others they listen krutch krutch what's going on they say

and thus the mind departs from God and rejoices in the tangaliko so let

us be careful not to become the cause of distracting others at the time

of divine worship we do harm to the world and

we do not understand it or notice in any reading when the reader reaches

the holiest spot from which people will be helped then or

the door will be slammed by the wind or someone will cough and

they will be distracted and they won't benefit from that holy spot so

the tangali does its job oh if you could see him devil how does he move haven't you

seen him and this is something you don't understand he does everything so that

the man is not helped I have noticed it in the hut when

I am talking as soon as I get exactly to the point I want in the most sensitive to

help those who hear me then or some noise it happens or others come

and I interrupt, the

devil first makes them look around the corner or see something and arranges for them to

come to the most delicate point of the discussion so that I can change the subject and not

benefit because when the discussion begins the devil knows where it will end and

because he sees that he will be harmed he sends someone exactly at the most sensitive point

to interrupt me father where do we enter he shouts get loukumi and water

and come from here I tell them others enter at that moment so

they interrupt me because I have to get up to say hello others come after a little while

and I have to get up again, they start talking about where you are from, so

I am forced to start again from the beginning and repeat the

example I was giving, as soon as I walk on, the other one shouts from below, father,

where do you live from? it's the door come on get up again find the temptation six or seven

times a day he did the same to me until I was forced and I put some

guards you sat there and watched that no one comes from here you sit

here until I finish my work six seven times to start a whole story

bringing them the point where they will be helped and the tangalaki to

create scenes see the temptation turns the button it continues on another

frequency as soon as the competitor gets a little moved by something he turns

the button elsewhere and forgets with that he remembers again some spiritual trick

reminds him of something else it makes him all tumbling man if he learns how the

devil works he will get rid of many things old man how will he learn to watch if

one watches one learns you see the shepherds are the

best meteorologists because they watch the

clouds the wind the wing of the will, the world is easily influenced both for

good and for evil, evil is more easily influenced because there is a rule,

and the devil falls, for example, to quit smoking because it is harmful, as soon as he

decides to quit, the devil will come and say that

cigarette has less medicine the other one has a filter and cleans smoke from

that one they won't hurt you, that is he will find an excuse not to

quit, he will find a solution because the devil can find us a lot of

excuses and that cigarette that he suggests can harm him even

more because we need to have a will and if one does not cut

his locks when he is still young then it is difficult to cut them because as

age passes the will weakens if a person does not have a will he cannot

he does nothing, the holy goldenrod says whether he wants it or not, hen everything

, that is, everything depends on whether the person wants it or not, it's

a big deal, God is good by nature and

always wants our good, but we need to want it too, because the

man then spiritually with two wings with the will of God and with

his own will God

has permanently stuck one wing his own will to our one law but in order to fly spiritually

we must also stick to the other wing our wing the human

will if man has a strong will he has the human wing which

balances with the divine wing so he flies while if his will is food

he goes to fly a little and takes it again he tries a little again somersault old man

the will is cultivated we don't have say that everything

are cultivated will is present in all people some few and

some more when a person is in the mood to fight he prays and

asks god to increase his will and god helps him when he doesn't

make a move then the person knows that or he doesn't put no will or she will

put some and she will be weakened so again that doesn't

help a bird let's say she has one wing strong but neglects the

other a few feathers fall off and then she can't fly

properly one wing works fine but the other it's like a broken

bird, the bird moves it but air gets in between and it can't

fly well, it flies a little and then somersaults,

it must have this wing intact to be able to fly like that

and man, I mean, must be careful and don't neglect the

human will if you want to keep flying correctly

spiritually because what the little kite does is go slowly and pulls from the

human wing first a small feather then another one a little bigger and if

the person doesn't pay attention it also pulls out a big one so it goes to fly and

he can't even if he pulls a few wings then when he goes to fly

air gets into the wing that is missing wings and it flips the divine wing is

always full completed it doesn't lack wings because

the devil can't pull them and take them out is

divine, let man be careful not to be negligent and the devil pull

a feather from his own wing when laziness begins little by little,

a little indifference weakens the will, what can god do if he doesn't want

man doesn't want to intervene because he respects man's freedom

is thus wasted by man and god's wing but when he has a will,

that is, he has his own wing wax, then god wants and

man also wants and man flies, i.e. old man, what exactly is

this flying, do you mean I want to progress spiritually

I want my salvation to find a child when I say flying I mean the ascent

spiritually I don't mean to fly to climb in any city

you had said old man that one can plow and sow and do all

the related procedures and not even take out the seed yes, that's the way it is, if

one is not careful, the devil steals his work, while if he is careful and

takes seriously the issue of the salvation of his soul, he struggles,

bears fruit, is nourished spiritually and

rejoices angelically, the words of an elder paisius
