A brother asked Abba Joseph, saying, 'I want to go out from the monastery, and live a solitary life'; the old man said to him, 'Where you see that you will find rest for your soul, there dwell.' And the brother said to him, 'I am content to live in the monastery, and I am content to live alone; what will I do then?' The old man said to him, 'If you are content to live in the monastery, and are [equally] content to lead a solitary life, do this: Weigh your thoughts as it were in a balance, and the thought which outbalances the other, that fulfil.'
