The book “On Divine Silence”, written by the monk Simeon from Holy Mount Athos, is a living response to the teachings of the silent hesychasts of the 14th century and earlier (it contains words about “guarding the mind and heart”, about “uncreated radiance” , that is, “uncreated divine light”, about “rest from thoughts”, etc.). But this book is a response from our era, and therefore is of particular value for the modern reader. The book is mostly addressed to modern monasticism. In simple and understandable language, she explains what a true monk should be: “A monk is one who preserves the mind so that unceasing prayer becomes “unceasing Love for God.”
