\"\"A patra sear\u0103 duhovniceasc\u0103 a discutat un alt mare dar pe care ni L-a adus Mesia: ascultarea. P\u0103rintele Iulian de la Prodromu, Sf\u00e2ntul Munte Athos, c\u00e2nd ni\u0219te p\u0103rin\u021bi l-au rugat: \u201eP\u0103rinte, vorbi\u021bi-ne despre smerenie\u201d, a spus: \u201eO, smerenia! Smerenia nu este de pe p\u0103m\u00e2nt. Ne-a adus-o Hristos din cer!\u201d<\/p>

Sf\u00e2ntul Porfirie Kavsokalivitul spunea: \u201eAscultarea este adev\u0103rata smerenie.\u201d Cu alte cuvinte, ascultarea este forma v\u0103zut\u0103 a smereniei, smerenia lucr\u0103toare. Esen\u021ba ascult\u0103rii, a\u0219a cum spunea Sf\u00e2ntul Siluan Athonitul, este: \u201eS\u0103 am \u00eencredere \u00een ce spui tu mai mult dec\u00e2t \u00een ce spun eu\u201d.<\/p>

Ascultarea este imposibil de dob\u00e2ndit, ea nu este fireasc\u0103, ne-a adus-o Hristos, \u0219i trebuie s\u0103 o cerem de la El zi de zi. Ea e singura cale de a intra \u00een duhul S\u0103u. El este Ascult\u0103torul, prin excelen\u021b\u0103: \u201eM-am cobor\u00e2t din cer, nu ca s\u0103 fac voia Mea, ci voia Celui ce M-a trimis pe Mine\u201d (Ioan 6, 38)\u201d; \u201eM\u00e2ncarea Mea este s\u0103 fac voia Celui ce M-a trimis pe Mine \u0219i s\u0103 s\u0103v\u00e2r\u0219esc lucrul Lui\u201d (Ioan 4, 34); \u201eP\u0103rinte, de voie\u0219ti, treac\u0103 de la Mine acest pahar. Dar nu voia Mea, ci voia Ta s\u0103 se fac\u0103\u201d (Luca 22, 42).<\/p>

Sf\u00e2ntul Apostol Pavel ne \u00eendeamn\u0103 ca s\u0103 avem \u0219i noi g\u00e2ndul lui Hristos: \u201eG\u00e2ndul acesta s\u0103 fie \u00een voi care era \u0219i \u00een Hristos Iisus... ascult\u0103tor f\u0103c\u00e2ndu-Se p\u00e2n\u0103 la moarte, \u0219i \u00eenc\u0103 moarte pe cruce\u201d (Filipeni 2, 5-9); \u201e\u0218i de\u0219i era Fiu, a \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat ascultarea din cele ce a p\u0103timit, \u0218i des\u0103v\u00e2r\u0219indu-Se, S-a f\u0103cut tuturor celor ce-L ascult\u0103 pricin\u0103 de m\u00e2ntuire ve\u0219nic\u0103\u201d (Evrei 5, 8-9). Dac\u0103 vrem s\u0103 ne asem\u0103n\u0103m Lui, dac\u0103 vrem s\u0103-L urm\u0103m, trebuie \u0219i noi s\u0103 dob\u00e2ndim ascultarea.<\/p>

M\u00e2ntuitorul, c\u00e2nd a venit, Mesia c\u00e2nd a venit, nu a propus ascultarea fa\u021b\u0103 de Sine, ci fa\u021b\u0103 de Tat\u0103l. El nu S-a propus ca \u021bint\u0103 (chiar dac\u0103 este), ci ca o cale spre Tat\u0103l, pun\u00e2nd ascultarea ca principiu. Iar El ne arat\u0103 cum se face. \u201e\u00cenv\u0103\u021b\u0103tura Mea nu este a Mea, ci a Celui ce M-a trimis. De vrea cineva s\u0103 fac\u0103 voia Lui, va cunoa\u0219te despre \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103tura aceasta dac\u0103 este de la Dumnezeu sau dac\u0103 Eu vorbesc de la Mine \u00censumi. Cel care vorbe\u0219te de la sine \u00ee\u0219i caut\u0103 slava sa; iar cel care caut\u0103 slava celui ce l-a trimis pe el, acela este adev\u0103rat \u0219i nedreptate nu este \u00een el\u201d (Ioan 7, 16-18).<\/p>

\u0218i El iube\u0219te s\u0103 ne \u00eenve\u021be ascultarea. P\u0103rintele Arsenie Papacioc, \u00eentr-o scrisoare c\u0103tre o maic\u0103, spunea: \u201eS\u0103 nu strici bucuria s\u0327i frumuset\u0327ea ascuns\u0103 ce t\u0327i le ofera\u0306 asculta\u0306rile care poarta\u0306 s\u0327i ele ata\u0302tea taine, s\u0327tiind ca\u0306 Ma\u0302ntuitorul porunces\u0327te, pentru c\u0103 \u00cei place mai mult ca orice sa\u0306-S\u0327i taie voia al\u0103turi de noi<\/strong>. Iat\u0103 pe Cine ascult\u0103m \u0219i Cine e fericit s\u0103-\u0218i taie voia ala\u0306turi de voia noastr\u0103 t\u0103iat\u0103<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>

C\u00e2nd suntem \u00eentr-o temni\u021b\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 avem \u00eencredere \u00een cel\u0103lalt pentru a ie\u0219i din ea. Asta a f\u0103cut M\u00e2ntuitorul. A venit \u00een temni\u021ba noastr\u0103 \u0219i ne-a ar\u0103tat calea de a ie\u0219i din temni\u021b\u0103. Iar acea cale este ascultarea. De aceea, este necesar s\u0103 ne dezvolt\u0103m treptat \u00eencrederea \u00een alte persoane mai mult dec\u00e2t \u00een noi \u00een\u0219ine. \u0218i a\u0219a vom sc\u0103pa treptat de temni\u021ba p\u0103catului \u0219i a egoismului.<\/p>

\u00cen Pateric se zice: \u201ePa\u0306rint\u0326ii numesc ca\u0302ntarea arma\u0306; ruga\u0306ciunea, zid; lacrima neprih\u0103nit\u0103, baie. Iar fericita ascultare au socotit\u2010o ma\u0306rturisire (mucenicie), fa\u0306ra\u0306 de care nimeni din cei i\u0302mpa\u0306timit\u0326i nu va vedea pe Domnul<\/strong>\u201d. Deci, ascultarea este calea de a sc\u0103pa de patimi. A\u0219a spune \u0219i Sf\u00e2ntul Sofronie Athonitul, \u201eAscultarea este cea mai teribil\u0103 arm\u0103 \u00eempotriva patimilor.\u201d Este a\u0219a pentru c\u0103 prin ascultare m\u0103 suspend pe mine. \u00cemi tai voia mea \u0219i egoismul. Pentru c\u0103 toate patimile se bazeaz\u0103 pe iubirea trupeasc\u0103 de sine, pe egoism. Ascultarea al\u0103turi de t\u0103ierea voii este t\u0103ierea patimilor de la r\u0103d\u0103cin\u0103. R\u0103d\u0103cin\u0103 care nu este alta dec\u00e2t egoismul, iubirea de sine.<\/p>

Ascultarea poate fi aplicat\u0103 \u00een diverse moduri. P\u0103rintele Zaharia Zaharou spune despre ascultarea \u00een familie: \u201eAscultarea \u00een via\u021ba de familie nu e ca \u00een m\u0103n\u0103stire, ci e o continu\u0103 \u00eentrecere \u00een a face voia celuilalt \u0219i astfel se ajunge la o deplin\u0103 armonie \u0219i se tr\u0103ie\u0219te ca \u00een Rai.\u201d Adic\u0103, nu e ca \u00een m\u0103n\u0103stire c\u00e2nd cineva este stare\u021b \u0219i distribuie ascult\u0103rile, iar ceilal\u021bi trebuie s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i taie voia. Ci este o \u00eentrecere din dragoste \u00een a \u00eemplini voia celuilalt. Roadele sunt acelea\u0219i. Dar trebuie f\u0103cut\u0103 pentru c\u0103 altfel nu se poate. Numai cine practic\u0103 ascultarea poate gusta din bog\u0103\u021bia vie\u021bii pe care o d\u0103 aceasta. Cine \u00eel ascult\u0103 pe cel\u0103lalt, \u00eel prime\u0219te \u00een inima sa. A\u0219a se l\u0103rge\u0219te inima. Dac\u0103 nu fac asta, r\u0103m\u00e2n \u00eengust.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The fourth spiritual evening discussed another great gift that the Messiah brought us: obedience. When Father Julian of Prodromos Skete in Holy Mount Athos was asked by some fathers about humility, he said: \u201cOh, humility! Humility is not of the earth.
