The late old man Joseph acknowledged: “My entire life has been a continuous martyrdom, and most of all I suffered from the people, who I wanted to save, but they did not listen to me. And I cried and prayed, and they mocked and they managed temptation.”
The old man himself wrote his sister about this: “Do you know how it is when you do not tempt — and they tempt you? You do not steal — and, in you, they do steal? You bless — and you they curse? You have pity — and you they offend? You praise — and you they condemn? When they do come to hear your revelations, they constantly shout and entice you to shout to the end of the life. Nevertheless, you know that this is not so, as they speak. Moreover, you see the temptation, which moves by them. Moreover, you repent and you cry, as you feel guilty. This — the heaviest. Since they war with you and they, and you war itself with itself in order to convince yourself that so there is, as people speak, although this is not so. When you see that you are absolutely right yet convince yourself that you are wrong. This, sister, is my art from art and science from the sciences. You beat itself by a stick, until you convince itself to call light the dark and the dark the light. So that any right would leave. Therefore, that finally would disappear to rise, so that you become reckless and do not reason in order to see all, when no one sees you at all. Since the one who will become spiritual, all reveals, not revealed by anyone It sees everything. It has eyes, but it sees no one.”

Афганка – Алла Смолина - Андрей Ефремов ...Нет, суеверий и примет особых не было, но в Бога верила. Я с многочисленными служебными командировками рисковала куда более тех, кто не выходил за ворота КПП. Ведь сначала требовалось добраться до аэродрома Джелалабада, потом до Кабула, а затем - Ташкент и это уже, когда моджахеды вовсю использовали стингер, и наш воздушный трафик перенесли на тёмное время суток, без единого огня и только с парашютами. Так что с Богом общалась постоянно. А после войны это общение перешло на другой уровень, более тёплый и доверительный, тогда как на войне молилась чисто интуитивно...
