00:09 → 00:18

It's quite different from a prayer, you see? There is a prayer, and there is a God-thought. They are completely different things. Don't mix them up, please.

00:18 → 00:30

What is a prayer? Well, we have an idea, at least a theoretical idea, we have. And what is God-thought? It's quite different.

00:30 → 00:38

It's quite different. I'll give an example so that we have an idea of it.

00:38 → 00:53

Well, a person is in some kind of grief. He comes, complains, asks, seeks support.

00:53 → 01:00

Or we just know about it. We experience it ourselves. Everything happens to us, everything in our life.

01:00 → 01:14

What is the example of God-thought? I know that nothing in this world happens by chance. Nothing.

01:14 → 01:27

From a Christian point of view, there is no chance. Everything is conditioned, all the God's industrial actions are conditioned by what? By the state of my soul.

01:27 → 01:40

Everything that happens to me, I know, it's the most useful for me. From the point of view of eternity, from the point of view of salvation. The most useful.

01:40 → 01:47

This is even a heavy grief that comes up, I know it's the most useful.

01:47 → 01:57

After all, it happens to a person when he gets very sick and he's undergoing an operation, sometimes a very difficult operation.

01:57 → 02:06

He doesn't just go for it, he gives everything he has, only if he had this operation done, so as not to die.

02:06 → 02:19

We know it, we know it. God is a true doctor, and great, and skilled, and loving.

02:19 → 02:35

Everything that happens to me is the best. Imagine, imagine when I understand that I am not tortured by a drill and a tooth, but this tooth is treated.

02:35 → 02:41

Is there a difference? What difference? What difference? What are you talking about?

02:41 → 02:50

I don't remember if I told you or not, I was in Sarov, in a church, I was standing there and they told me, here, under the church, right?

02:50 → 03:05

In the dungeon, where there was a so-called tooth office, and when they came to the cell and said, this is the tooth office, many fell into a daze, immediately lost consciousness.

03:05 → 03:11

It turned out it was a torture chamber, but what torture? Tooth torture.

03:11 → 03:15

A person was tied up hard, and God knows what they did.

03:15 → 03:27

Imagine this, and imagine when a loving doctor, yours, who loves you, I don't know how, is ready to do everything for you, to give his soul, but says, we need to treat this.

03:27 → 03:32

Yes, it will be very painful, but what to do? There is no other way out.

03:32 → 03:41

This is what happens to us, if you want, this is the dogma of the Christian faith.

03:41 → 03:46

Unfortunately, we call dogmas only those things, you know which ones.

03:46 → 03:52

This is the dogma of the Christian faith. By the way, if you want, one of the most important dogmas for our life.

03:52 → 03:58

I know that everything happens to me, the best in terms of salvation.

03:58 → 04:01

Now you understand what is the God-thinking?

04:01 → 04:12

This is God-thinking, this is not a prayer yet, this is a reasoning, but how important it is to us in our life.

04:12 → 04:18

How can we help each other with such God-thinking?

04:18 → 04:28

So, the holy fathers forced and said that it is very useful to engage in God-thinking, it is necessary.

04:28 → 04:34

There are countless questions on which we can really engage in God-thinking.

04:34 → 04:43

We must reason about good deeds, how important it is to reason, so as not to fall into the hands of the devil.

04:43 → 04:49

Is it true? We must reason about prayer, so as not to fall into any charm.

04:49 → 04:55

We must constantly reason, holy fathers, all of this is unanimous.

04:55 → 05:02

There is no good deed without reasoning. No.

05:02 → 05:10

Where there is no reasoning, there is a huge danger that we can fall asleep in the wrong place.

05:10 → 05:16

Is prayer good without reasoning? It can lead to the weapon of death.

05:16 → 05:19

Is fasting good? The same thing, and so on.

05:19 → 05:22

Is the prayer good? The same thing.

05:22 → 05:27

If you see a young man flying in the sky, drag him down to the ground.

05:27 → 05:32

If you see a man flying in the sky, drag him down to the ground.

05:32 → 05:52

God-thinking is necessary in everything.
