“As you gather [nuts] mechanically the undistracted mind concentrates on unceasing prayer. However when many people are together they start talking and joking as the day passes pleasantly. For those who don’t know about the prayer and especially secular people the day passes very easily with jokes. However when you are used to unceasing prayer then not only are you distressed but involuntarily your mind condemns the others are your captured by thought of pride that you are doing something spiritually more important than others.”
(Abbot Haralambos Dioysiatis “Teacher of Noetic Prayer”)
