A bound person cannot run. Nor can the mind, which works like a slave
for a certain passion, be able to offer a true prayer, because it is dragged
around and wanders here and there on account of impassioned thoughts and cannot
remain undisturbed. You will not be able to pray clearly if you are preoccupied
with material things and are agitated by incessant cares, because prayer
implies riddance of every care.
Saint Nilus of Sinai
