“Whatever a man loves he inevitably clings to, and in order not to lose it he rejects everything that keeps him from it. So he who loves God cultivates pure prayer, driving out every passion that keeps him from it. He who drives out self-love, the mother of the passions, will with God's help easily rid himself of the rest, such as anger, irritation, rancor and so on. But he who is dominated by self-love is overpowered by the other passions, even against his will. Self-love is the passion of attachment to the body.” MenSelfHelpingBodyMotherOrderPassionLosesPrayerLove IsSelf LovePureDrivingGod LoveRejectsAttachmentIrritationRancor Author:Maximus the Confessor
