For, says he, children's voices are not to be thought of any value in such matters.
But the present canon admits him who is not less than ten years and desires to be a monk, but entrusts the determination of the exact time to the judgment of the hegumenos, whether he thinks it more advantageous to increase the age-requirement for the entering and being established in the married life.
But the canon lessens the time defined by Basil the Great, because the Fathers thought that the Church by divine grace had grown stronger since then, and was going on more and more, and that the faithful seemed firmer and more stable for the observance of the divine commandments.

The main point of the hesychast teaching, in brief, was that by meditating it was possible to see a light, that in their understanding, was the uncreated, i.e., the Divine light, the same light that had shone on Jesus on Mount Tabor.
