Translated by Fr. Seraphim Rose
Volume II of Little Russian Philokalia
“The second volume of the English language Little Russian Philokalia, is dedicated to the great refounder and abbot of Valaam Monastery, the humble monk of Sarov, Nazarius. The timeless quality of his teaching, a standard monastic counsel within a fundamentally Orthodox Christian society, is basically no different from that of fourth-century Egypt, fifth-century Palestine, sixth-century Gaul, or Ireland, Sinai, Britain, Italy, Syria, and later Mt. Athos, from which it took its roots. But the timelessness of his exposition is so vital precisely because most of these lands have lost the basic Orthodox Weltanschauung, world-view, or sense of unanimity, especially in the Western world.”
