"Accept, beloved brethren, this most beneficial book with joy and diligence, and read it attentively, for it is very useful for bishops and priests, leaders and judges, and especially for monks: those who are silent and those who are sociable, beginners, intermediates, and advanced, but especially for the weak, who are in various temptations and sufferings and therefore need spiritual comfort," - with these words, the first publisher of this book, the venerable Nikodim of the Holy Mountain, places it in the hands of the reader. And truly, everyone who listens to his advice finds in him a companion of great God-fearing men. Saint Barsanuphius lived in the 6th century, and for over fifty years, no one except the abbot saw this ascetic, for he confined himself to a small cell as if in a tomb, consuming no food other than bread and water. Another elder, the venerable John, led a similar silent life and was granted similar gifts of the Spirit, especially the gift of foresight, which is why he was called the Prophet."
