Saint Paisios: Pride draws us to the devil, humility to Christ

The post shares a saying of Saint Paisios of Mount Athos, presented in both English and Greek. The saying states that pride brings a person closer to the devil, while humility brings a person closer to Christ. It adds that Saint Paisios called the devil the greatest egotist, and poses the question of whose company one chooses when pride and selfishness rule the heart.

The post also includes a video summary. In the video, the speaker recounts a memory of his mother asking her children who is the biggest egoist. His brother Rafael answered. The mother then explained that the biggest egoist is the devil. She asked the speaker if he is an egoist, and whose friend he would be in that case. She urged her children to humble themselves.
