The monk constantly carries a huge weight.
The solitary outfit is like a heavy equestrian armor.
It protects the monk in his invisible spiritual battle, but under its weight an inexperienced, weak and untrained monastic artist can collapse ...
The monk gains experience mainly through obedience to his father.
The mischievous monk has a dark soul and his passions do not diminish but intensify.
Archimandrite Raphael (Karelin)
