Just re-reading the post Beginning With Ourselves, I see, however I managed it, through predictive text or solely my own careless efforts - and obviously not reading what was being posted - I completely mangled the presented quote by Sophrony of Essex from his book The Monk of Mount Athos. I’ve corrected it there in that original post, and here it also is the sake of anyone who saw and struggled with the meaning of the mangled version I presented then!
According to the second commandment, Love thy neighbour as thyself, each of us must and can comprise all mankind in his own personal being. Thus we shall accept all the evil in the world not as something extraneous but as evil in which we too have our part, and contend with evil, with cosmic evil, beginning in our own selves.
