On Our Passions
It
is one thing to be delivered from bad thoughts, and another to be freed from
the passions. Often people are delivered from thoughts, when they do not have
before their eyes those things which produce passion. But the passions for them
remain hidden in the soul, and when the things appear again the passions are
revealed. Therefore it is necessary to guard the mind when these things appear,
and to know toward which things you have a passion.
St.
Maximus the Confessor
