'Our teacher Jesus Christ, out of pity for mankind and knowing the utter mercilessness of the demons, severely commands us:
'Be ready at every hour, for you do not know when the thief will come;
do not let him come and find you asleep' (cf. Matt. 24:42-43). He also says: 'Take
heed, lest your hearts be overwhelmed with debauchery and drunkenness
and the cares of this life, and the hour come upon you unawares' (cf.
Luke 21:34). Stand guard, then, over your heart and keep a watch on
your senses; and if the remembrance of God dwells peaceably within you,
you will catch the thieves when they try to deprive you of it. When a
man has an exact knowledge about the nature of thoughts, he recognizes
those which are about to enter and defile him, troubling the intellect
with distractions and making it lazy. Those who recognize these evil
thoughts for what they are remain undisturbed and continue in prayer to
God.'
