Elder Paisios: Give your hands to the world, your heart to Christ

The post shares a saying of Venerable Paisios of the Holy Mountain. He advises not to give one's heart to the world but to offer it hands and reasoning instead. The heart should not be given to anything insignificant or useless, because it must beat for Christ.
When the heart is in Christ, work is felt differently, and a person preserves inner spiritual freshness and experiences true joy. The text is accompanied by a photograph of the sea with Mount Athos in the distance and a seagull flying by.
