Climb Up To Heaven

“It's good when we reproach ourselves and humble ourselves. Many try to climb up to heaven by laying ascetic labors upon themselves, but don't want to be humble. They don't want to be humble. This is a wound - the wound of contemporary monasticism. Humble yourself!”
-St. Barsanuphius of Optina
