Monkhood - the rejection of the old man and the struggle to achieve perfection and deification: The monk does not understand repentance in the narrow framework of only ceasing bad deeds, but understands it as a complete killing of evil, down to the level of simple thinking, hardening himself, so to speak so, to erase from his memory even the mere memory of evil. An absolutely necessary premise is the distance from the life that is "against nature", where the whole "old man" belongs, which he strives with all his efforts to deny and thus ascend to a new life that the Lord shows us in the divine You command him.
