Modern ideas about spiritual life are very vague in nature and are filled with many mistakes and contradictions. And, perhaps, the main delusion is its reduction in the execution of only external church prescriptions and rites.

For the spiritual fruit consists in humility and love acquired through the fulfillment of the commandments of the gospel, repentance and vision of its sinfulness. As warns by St. Ignatius (Bryanchaninov): "bodily feat, not accompanied by mental, is more harmful than useful. It serves as the reason for the extraordinary strengthening of mental passions, vanity, hypocrisy, crafty, pride, hatred, envy, conceit. " The main reasons for this ailment are, of course, the lack of experienced leaders and ignorance of the patristic doctrine of the foundations of spiritual life.
