The unjust, and generally every guilty, when he does not ask for forgiveness, suffers from his conscience and in addition from the indignation of the wronged.
Because, when the wronged does not forgive him, then the unjust suffers a lot, and is tortured.
He can not sleep. As if hit by waves and bringing him whirlpool.
It’s a mysterious thing how he is informed!
Like, when one loves someone and thinks of him in a good way, he is informed, so in this case.
Or, the other’s grumbling makes him up and down!
And even if he is far, in Australia, or in Johannesburg, he can not be calm, when the other is indignant because of him.
Saint Paisios
