"According to Symeon [the New Theologian], the Holy Spirit is sent
...Not to lovers of glory, Not to rhetoricians, Not to philosophers, Not to those who have studied Hellenistic writings ... Not to those who speak eloquently and with refinement, Not to those who have achieved great names ... But to the poor in spirit and life, To the pure in heart and body, Who speak and even more live simply." (Hymn 21)
