Abba Arsenius on one occasion went to the brothers in a certain place where there were some reeds growing, and the wind blew upon them, and they were shaken. And the old man said, 'What is this rustling sound?' and they said unto him, ' It is that caused by the reeds which are being shaken by the wind.' And he said to them, ' Verily I say unto you, if the man who dwells in silence hears but the twittering of a sparrow, he shall not be able to acquire that repose in his heart which he seeks; how much less then can you do so with all this rustling of the reeds about you? '
