Paisios Of The Holy Mountain. (№ 402211)

I see some young guys - our compatriots, not read a single line from the gospel, begin to read brahminical, Buddhist literature, the Koran and the like. They go to an Indian guru. Then there is they have not like and they return to Orthodoxy, however, contracted in these Eastern cults a whole bunch of different [spiritual] germs. People are damaged and then it is difficult to find the truth. Let people first [life experience] knows Orthodoxy, and if Orthodoxy he doesn't like out of it. He knows Christianity is right and then compare it with various religious teachings, about which he hears. After all, knowing Christianity, people will be able to distinguish a fake from gold or to understand how pure gold, how many carats is it. Such a person will not spend on chaff, it does not take all for gold that glitters.
