Self-knowledge is needful; this is the knowledge of oneself and especially of the limitation of ones talents, ones failings, and lack of skill. From this it should result that we consider ourselves unworthy of any kind of position, and therefore that we do not desire any special positions, but rather accept what is placed upon us with fear and humility. He who knows himself pays no heed to the sins of others, but looks to his own and is always repenting over them; he reflects concerning himself, and condemns himself, and does not interfere in anything apart from his own position. Abbot Nazarius. ----------------------------------------------- For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy. Psalm 16:10-11
