In this recording, Archimandrite Athanasios Mytilinaios (1927-2006), answers the question: "What are the traits of a man with a pure heart? Is it possible for humans to see God?" "Saint Isaac the Syrian says that a simple man is he who, when seeing a shape, understands it as it is. His mind does not go elsewhere. It does not go to the so-called dirty hints. It only goes to what he sees, nothing else. Meaning, he does not transform what is seen into something dirty."
