Μαξίμου. Καὶ ἄλλως δὲ ἐχθρὸν ἔχομεν κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς, τὸ ἡμέτερον σῶμα, ἀεὶ διὰ τῆς ἐπαναστάσεως τῶν παθῶν πολεμοῦν ἡμῖν. ἐὰν οὖν ἐκ τῆς συνειδήσεως πιεζόμενον τὸ τῆς σαρκὸς φρόνημα πεινᾶ, τουτέστιν ὀρέγηται σωτηρίας, ἣ δίψᾳ θείας γνώσεως, δέον τρέφειν αὐτὸ δι’ ἐγκρατείας καὶ πόνων, καὶ ποτίζειν τῇ μελέτῃ τῶν θείων λογίων. οὕτω γὰρ σωρεύονται ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, τουτέστι τὸν νοῦν, ἄνθρακες πυρὸς, θεῖοι καὶ πνευματικοὶ λογισμοί.
