New lecture of Archimandrite Vasileios of Iveron Monastery on Mount Athos, the author of “Hymn of Entry: Liturgy and Life in the Orthodox Church”.
In this video recording, Fr. Vasileios gives us a simple way to find our balance: we need to understand that we are “nothing” and we should not consider ourselves “important” persons.
Romanian translation was provided by Rev. Fr. Constantin Coman.

Fr. Vasileios:
We struggle because we have the impression that we are “something” [or someone “important”]…
Great is the one who is humble!
What St. Isaac of Syria says about himself, that he will cease to exist…
If someone understands this, saying, “I am nothing, I mean nothing, I am only a sum of uncleannesses, a sum of weaknesses, but there is Someone who loves me, without any reason”,
then the one will find his or her balance…
