In this rare audio recording he talks about the reality of seeing God and also the way to get there.
Fr Sophrony:
Lord says: “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8).
Concerning the words of Christ, we are properly entitled to ask: “How will those pure in heart see God? As He is or as He is not?”
The mind of the scholar “definitely” inclines to the thought “as He is not.”
But Christ thinks otherwise, and we strive to follow Christ.
What is the meaning of my words?
We have to concentrate with all the attention only to one thing: to NEVER DO WRONG against God, neither before man or against things.
And from this simple life, but concentrated on that command, arises the human condition where the man, starting from now, lives in God, in an existential way.
