Pleasures And Thought


Καρδίας ἡδυπαθούσης, λογισμοὶ λοιμοὶ ἀναφύονται· καὶ ἐν τῷ καπνῷ τὴν ἐγκειμένην ὕλην ἐπιγινώσκομεν.

Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Νόμου Πνευματικοῦ 

Source: Migne PG 65 925
Worldly pleasures in the heart nurture wretched thoughts and we perceive wrapped up in the smoke of material things.

Saint Mark The Ascetic, from On The Spiritual Law.
