A shrewd hesychast requires no words. He is enlightened by deeds rather than by words. The start of stillness is the rejection of all noisiness as something that will trouble the depths of the soul. The final point is when one has no longer a fear of noisy disturbance, when one is immune to it. He who when he goes out does not go out in his intellect is gentle and wholly a house of love, rarely moyed to speech and never to anger. The opposite to all this is manifest. Strange as it may seem, the hesychast is a man who fights to keep his incorporeal self shut up in the house of the body.
