Abba Lot went to see Abba Joseph and he said to him, Abba, as far as I can, I say my little office, I fast a little, I pray and meditate, I live in peace and as far as I can I purify my thoughts. What else can I do Then the old man stood up and stretched his hands toward heaven; his fingers became like ten lamps of fire and he said to him, If you will, you can become all flame. God is the life of all free beings. He is the salvation of all, of believers or unbelievers, of the just or the unjust, of the pious or the impious, of those freed from passions or those caught up in them, of monks or those living in the world, of the educated and the illiterate, of the healthy and the sick, of the young or the old. He is like the outpouring of light, the glimpse of the sun, or the changes of the weather which are the same for everyone without exception. Abba Pambo said, If you have a heart, you can be saved.
