Archimandrite Zacharias (Zacharou)
The Cross in the life of the monks is the love for our brother, to love our brother is our life, to protect him, defend him, help him and pray for him as for ourselves.
Waiting patiently, not desiring to acquire quickly the promise, but devoting years, decades of his life longing for the promise of God, all this humbles the heart of man and makes him more like unto the One Whom he is about to receive, Christ.

It is unfortunate that there is widespread confusion, not to mention delusion, in the inexperienced, whereby the Jesus Prayer is thought to be equivalent to yoga in Buddhism, or 'transcendental meditation', and other such Eastern exotica. Any similarity, however, is mostly external, and any inner convergence does not rise beyond the natural 'anatomy' of the human soul.
