The carnal way of life constitutes death. If you wish to live long, live through the spirit; for life consists in the spirit: “If you through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live,” both here on earth and there in heaven. Observe fasting, temperance and simplicity in food and drink; do not foolishly squander the balsam of your life; do not seek after riches or luxury; strive to be contented with little; keep peace with all, respect and love all, envy none; and, above all, strive ever to bear Christ in your heart, and you shall live in peace. St. John of Kronstadt
