The Evergetinos from St. Barsanouphious

The brother asked again: “What does it mean for someone to cut off his will?“ “Brother, cutting off your will is progress in God‘s eyes; it consists, with regard to things that are reckoned to be good, in one’s doing, not what he wants, but what the Saints say. In the case of bad things, he should avoid what is improper by his own choice.“
