There exist three states of soul: natural, unnatural, and supernatural.

“The natural state of the soul is the knowledge of God’s creation, both visible and spiritual. The supernatural state of the soul is the contemplation of the super-essential Divinity. The unnatural state of the soul is its involvement in thepassions,” for the passions do not belong to its nature.

Passion is an unnatural state of the soul, but virtue is its natural state. When the mind is fed by the virtues, especially that of compassion, the soul is then “adorned with that holy beauty” through which man is indeed in the likeness of God.

St Justin Popovich
