Sayings from the Desert Fathers: what else

Abba Lot went to see Abba Joseph & sd: "Abba, as much as I am able I practice a small rule, a little fasting, some prayer & meditation (...)

(...) and remain quiet, and as much as possible I keep my thought clean. What else should I do?" (...)

(...) Then the old man stood up and stretched out his hands toward heaven, and his fingers became like ten torches of flame. (...)

(...) And he said: "If you wish, you can become all flame.”
