The first sign of the soul's incipient health is the vision of one's sins, as countless as the sand of the sea. And sin is a disease, an abnormality. It is the vision of one's abnormality, inability, morbidity, passion. Only he can see his sin who has resolutely renounced all friendship with sin, who has stood vigorously guard at the gates of his house with a naked sword - the word of God, who repels, cuts down sin with this sword, in whatever form it approaches him. Whoever accomplishes a great deed - establishes enmity with sin, forcibly tearing away his mind, heart and body from it, God will grant him a great gift: the vision of his sin.
