Here on earth, people should make an effort not to accept the proposal of evil spirits. The Holy Fathers say that we need to be careful, be on guard and to know that every thought that disturbs our inner peace is directed by hell. And we should not receive such a proposal, we should immediately discard it! If we agree to start talking to that proposal, it gets us into the networks of hell. From that one infernal thought, many thoughts are born and even then man will see where he has strayed and what he has done. One evil builds on another, and then, when the man becomes aware, he says to himself: What for I needed all of this, I was calm, quiet, and suddenly everything is spoiled. And it is spoiled because we did not guard.
Elder Thaddeus
