literacy

A certain Father N., an unfortunate man who had no knowledge of divine experience like that of St. Silouan, said to another person, "I wonder why they go to him. I guess he does not read anything." The other replied, "He does not read anything, but he practices everything, unlike those who read a lot but do not do a thing." from An Athonite Gerontikon
