 La acedia y Evagrio Póntico. Entre ángeles y demonios

Rubén PERETÓ RIVAS, Mendoza, Argentina

ABSTRACT
Evagrius Ponticus was one of the most important theoreticians of acedia in patristic
times. In his writings he gives great weight to logismos in the development of spiritual
life. Demons and angels have a fundamental role in the shaping and development of
acedia. If, according to Evagrius, the intention is to prevent the demons of rendering
man capable of knowledge (Kephalaia Gnostica III 41), then acedia must be some
kind of ‘ignorance’, or rather, knowledge of an invented reality or a metareality, in
which he acquires mastery of the soul.
This study seeks to show how the action of demons and angels are woven into the
development of the acedia of man’s soul.

Evagrio Póntico es uno de los grandes maestros de la espiritualidad cristiana.

Dentro de su obra existen algunas temáticas que poseen un mayor desarrollo
que otras lo que ciertamente responderá a las prioridades que les fijaba el
autor. Una de ellas es la acedia, logismos al que le otorga un peso mayor que
a cualquiera de los otros pensamientos malvados. ‘El demonio de la acedia es
el más pesado de todos’, dice en el Tratado práctico.1 El fenómeno de la ace-
dia, a la vez espiritual y psicológico, cobra un importante protagonismo en la
configuración de la vida espiritual del monje. A diferencia de la vanagloria, de
la gastrimagia o de cualquiera de los otros siete logismoi, ella exige por parte
del cristiano una particular vigilancia y una lucha permanente. Si se permite
que ingrese al alma, detrás vendrá todo el resto de los demonios, pero una vez
vencido, le sobreviene al alma ‘un estado de paz y un gozo inefable’.2
Por otro lado, Evagrio considera que en su proceso de perfección, el monje
vive en una continua lucha contra los demonios en la que también intervienen
los ángeles. El mundo de los hombres está situado entre el de los ángeles y el de
los demonios y, por tanto, se encuentra empujado hacia un lado o hacia el otro,
a veces combatido y a veces combatiendo.3 Escribe en el Antirrhetikos: ‘Entre
las naturalezas racionales, unas combaten, otras ayudan a los que combaten y

otras combaten a las que combaten … Las que combaten son los hombres,
las que ayudan son los ángeles de Dios y sus adversarios son los demonios
impuros’.4 Como afirma Guillaumont, el mundo de los hombres se encuentra
en medio de una aventura cósmica.5
Estos dos elementos, la acedia por una parte y el juego entre ángeles y
demonios por otra, deben tener puntos de coincidencia. Es decir, el combate
permanente que se libra entre las criaturas racionales debe repercutir de alguna
manera en los procesos acediosos que se dan en el alma humana como parte
ineludible del camino de perfección. El objetivo de este trabajo, entonces, es
determinar algunos aspectos característicos o estrategias empleadas por los
demonios para inducir la acedia en el alma del monje, según los escritos de
Evagrio Póntico, pero haciendo referencia también a otros autores de la espiri-
tualidad cristiana.

1. Los demonios y la creación de mundos

Se suele decir que el demonio actúa imitando los actos de Dios. Probable-
mente esta afirmación se compruebe también en el aspecto particular de la
doctrina de Evagrio que estamos analizando. Pareciera que el Póntico postula
que una de las estrategias elegidas por los demonios es ‘crear’ en el hombre un
mundo paralelo, o una metarealidad, de la cual él sea dueño y, de ese modo,
tener dominio del alma. Sería este el proceso de la acedia ya que los intelectos
caídos trabajan con dos clases de materiales: los pensamientos y las represen-
taciones.6
El accionar de los demonios tiene una finalidad concreta que aparece clara
en varios textos de Evagrio. Dice por ejemplo en la Képhalaia gnostica:
‘Acerca de la contemplación de los seres y de la ciencia de la Trinidad, los
demonios y nosotros sostenemos un gran combate; ellos queriendo impedirnos
conocer y nosotros buscando aprender’.7 Y en el De oratione: ‘Toda la guerra
entablada entre nosotros y los espíritus impuros no tiene otro objeto sino la
contemplación espiritual; para ellos es hostil e insoportable; para nosotros
salutífera y muy favorable’.8 El objetivo de los demonios es impedir que el
hombre alcance la ‘ciencia de Dios’, es decir, el estadio más alto de perfec-
ción.

 La acedia y Evagrio Póntico. Entre ángeles y demonios 241

Este conocimiento propio de la vida del gnóstico consiste en la visión de

Dios por lo que las estrategias de los demonios deberán consistir, entonces, en
impedir que el monje alcance esa ciencia, que es el placer más grande al que
puede aspirar el hombre.9 Al explicar el motivo de este ataque de los demo-
nios, Evagrio se adscribe a la antigua tradición exegética según la cual la envi-
dia es la que motivó a actuar a Satanás en su tentación a Eva, pues no puede
soportar la idea de que el hombre goce de la contemplación espiritual de la
cual ellos han sido privados. El resentimiento, los celos y la amargura son las
formas que toma entre los demonios la cólera que caracteriza su estado caí-
do.10
Es posible, entonces, que una de las estrategias elegidas por el demonio para
impedir esa scientia Dei pertenezca a la misma especie de la que quiere com-
batir. Consistirá, por eso mismo, en ‘crear’ en el hombre otro tipo de conoci-
miento, o bien construir en él una realidad imaginaria que él pueda dominar.
Se trata de interponer entre el hombre y Dios, a quien debe conocer, ‘otro
mundo’ que le impida la visión o conocimiento. Veamos algunos textos:
‘(cuando los ángeles se acercan a nosotros) nos llenan de contemplación espi-
ritual; cuando ellos se acercan (los demonios) arrojan al alma en imaginacio-
nes vergonzosas’.11 El modo de actuar de los demonios que está indicando
Evagrio consiste en someter al monje a una suerte de irrupción de imágenes o,
dicho de otro modo, a una efervescencia de la imaginación que adquiere carac-
terísticas totalizantes, puesto que el alma es ‘arrojada’ a ese mundo de imagi-
naciones.
Cuando en el Tratado práctico describe a la acedia, destaca como uno de
sus síntomas el que al monje ‘le parece que el sol se mueve lentamente, o está
inmóvil, y que el día parece tener cincuenta horas’.12 Si bien este pasaje se ha
interpretado frecuentemente como expresión del aburrimiento y del hastío pro-
pio de la acedia, considero que también podría ser interpretado en el sentido de
que el demonio está creando fantasías, o bien, realidades falsa, metarealida-
des, que atormentan el alma del monje. En este caso, se trata de inducir en él
una percepción equívoca del tiempo, lenta y farragosa, que lo predisponga al
tedio y a las otras manifestaciones típicas de la acedia.
En el mismo capítulo, Evagrio indica que el demonio de la acedia también
induce a que el monje comience a ‘desear otros lugares’ y, por eso, vagabun-
dea con su imaginación en busca de un lugar mejor para alabar a Dios.13 Esta
idea del vagabundeo – que incluso puede ser físico – como fruto de imagina-
ciones, aparece también en otros autores espirituales cuando tratan el tema de

la acedia. Casiano, por ejemplo, dice: ‘Luego, esta misma enfermedad le

sugiere como conveniente y necesario ir a saludar a los otros hermanos y visi-
tar a los enfermos, aun si viven lejos’.14 La invasión de imágenes que produce
la acedia adquiere una poderosa consistencia en el alma del monje quien se
siente asediado hasta tal punto que le resulta imposible escapar de la metarea-
lidad que el demonio le ha impuesto.15 Analicemos más detenidamente esta
situación.

2. Pensamientos obsesivos

El carácter de este asalto de imágenes puede ser considerado en el sentido de

obsesiones, entendiendo por tal las imágenes que se imponen al espíritu de
manera repetida e incoercible. El sujeto reconoce la idea como propia de su
mente – no impuesta por nadie – pero, aunque le moleste y le haga sufrir, no
es capaz de echarla fuera de su consciencia. Se entabla así en la mente de la
persona, una penosa lucha, con fuerte carga de ansiedad, entre la obsesión que
se impone y la voluntad que trata de rechazarla fuera de la conciencia. Tal es
la fuerza de estas imágenes obsesivas que se transforman en axiomas del pen-
samiento que minan la tensión volitiva y transforma a sus juicios y comporta-
mientos en motivaciones o presiones afectivas sobre la voluntad. El monje
acedioso, entonces, se encuentra prisionero en ese sub-mundo o metarealidad,
del que resulta casi imposible escapar y que lo atormenta constantemente.
Un autor medieval de la primera mitad del siglo XII describe esta situación.
Se trata del cartujo Bernardo de Portes quien se dirige al recluso Raynoud de
Saint-Rambert con una precisa descripción de este tipo de logismos o pensa-
miento obsesivo que culmina provocando una situación de profunda tristeza en
la víctima. Dice:
Ocurre con frecuencia a aquellos que viven en la soledad de ser confundidos interior-
mente y rodeados de algunas nubes de tristeza e instigación del demonio. Porque nues-
tro enemigo inveterado conoce bien los medios para perjudicar a los servidores de
Dios, para impedirles orar y dedicarse a las santas ocupaciones. Se esfuerza por arro-
jarlos a pensamientos de tristeza o de cólera sin motivo alguno, de orgullo, del recuerdo
de injurias recibidas, de recuerdos vanos de lo que se dice, de lo que se hace o de lo
que se debe hacer, de pensamientos impuros, de tibieza del alma o torpeza en el sueño,
a fin de desviar el espíritu de sus santos deseos.16

uisitationesque infirmorum vel eminus vel longius positorum’. Juan Casiano, Institutions Cénobi-
tiques X, 2, ed. J.-C. Guy, SC 109 (Paris, 1965), 388.

Sobre el tema del vagabundeo como síntoma de la acedia puede verse Michael L Barré,

Bible’, Journal of Near Eastern Studies 60 (2001), 177-87.

 La acedia y Evagrio Póntico. Entre ángeles y demonios 243

Observemos que la terminología que usa Bernardo refleja el espíritu de las

afirmaciones de Evagrio. Utiliza el verbo ingero que significa ‘arrojar’ para
indicar el modo en que el monje es colocado en esa situación de tristeza. Es el
equivalente exacto del término griego utilizado por Evagrio, que recurre al
verbo êmbállw. A continuación, enumera el torbellino de logismoi o pensa-
mientos que se instalan en la mente del monje creando, de esa manera, una
realidad dolorosa y ficticia que le impide alcanzar la scientia Dei y lo fuerza a
un movimiento espiritual y físico que responde a esas fantasías. Este movi-
miento o kínesis constante implica el alejamiento de la unidad originaria y la
explosión de las pasiones que dispersan y fulminan el equilibrio psíquico y
espiritual del monje. El alma es incapaz ya de la praedicatio, del soliloquio y
del coloquio, pues se encuentra prisionera de un mundo de fantasías agresivas
que la recluyen en sí misma impidiéndole el ‘salir’ y el anclarse en la realidad.
Por eso, la acedia es una meditación contraria a la meditación, como bien la
define Francesco Palleschi.17

3. Adam Scott y la metarealidad de Evagrio

La hipótesis que busco probar en este trabajo se ve reflejada en el caso con-

creto de un monje medieval que ha dejado por escrito sus experiencias de lo
que claramente puede ser identificado como una crisis acediosa. Me refiero a
Adam Scott, primero canónigo premostratense en la abadía escocesa de Dry-
burgh y abad de la misma entre 1184 y 1188, y luego, monje cartujo en
Witham.18 Llama la atención el cambio repentino del estado de vida de Adam
que, de abad premostratense -estilo de vida a la que él consideraba paradi-
síaco-, pasa a ser cartujo.19 Su caso es similar al de muchos otros religiosos.
Por ejemplo, Guillermo de Saint-Thierry, que de abad de ese monasterio bene-
dictino, se hace cisterciense, o Hugo de Miramar, que de canónigo de la cate-
dral de Montpellier, se hace cartujo en Montrieux. ¿Qué es lo que provoca
estos cambios tan rotundos? A partir del análisis de los escritos de Adam
puede colegirse que es, justamente, una crisis acediosa, que se manifiesta a
través de la creación, en la mente del monje, de una metarealidad, con carac-
teres muchas veces obsesivos, que le sugieren la inconveniencia de su actual
estado de vida y la necesidad de elegir otra más perfecta y apartada del mundo.

244 R. PERETÓ RIVAS

No es el caso aquí de juzgar los motivos de las opciones de vida que realizó
Adam, sino simplemente de analizar algunos de sus textos que reflejan sus
estados espirituales y psicológicos y concluir a partir de ellos y a la luz de los
aspectos que he desarrollado en los puntos anteriores.20
Adam utiliza con frecuencia la imagen del viento para expresar sus estados
espirituales y de ánimo. Dice: ‘La gran tribulación y la tentación interior es
como el viento’.21 Está utilizando la imagen de una fuerza de la naturaleza que
se caracteriza por la impetuosidad con la que arremete, cambiando de un modo
muchas veces repentino el estado atmosférico de un lugar. Sus ráfagas que van
y vienen, sin ningún orden o concierto, vuelven incapaz cualquier intento de
mantener el equilibrio y la simetría de los objetos. La imagen es apropiada
para describir los estados de acedia como metarealidades: también en este
caso se ha perdido toda euritmia interior y es imposible controlar los torbelli-
nos obsesivos que asolan el alma, la que es llevada y traída, contra su volun-
tad, por los pensamientos que se han ensañado contra ella.
El texto más significativo y desgarrador de Adam Scott se encuentra en sus
Soliloquios:
Yo creía que, al renunciar al mundo e ingresar en la vida religiosa, encontraría la paz
y el reposo. Pero me veo, a la inversa, embarcado en grandes tribulaciones y dificulta-
des, y en miserias peores que aquellas que podría haber sufrido en el mundo. Yo que,
estando en alta mar, busqué un puerto seguro en el cual escapar a la violencia de los
vientos y a la crueldad del oleaje, y ahora me siento más bien aplastado por las olas y
empujado por ellas de una orilla a otra, peor entonces que cuando nadaba en el mar.22

Durante su vida como canónigo, Adam ha estado feliz. Es una vida a la que
reconoce como la apropiada para sí. Sin embargo, de un momento a otro, todo
cambia, y le parece estar en medio del mar, tratando de mantenerse a flote.
Busca, entonces, en la dura vida cartujana lo que él cree será un puerto donde
los vientos amainen y pueda cobijarse pero, por el contrario, allí es ‘aplastado
por las olas’. Adam reconoce en el viento una profunda turbación del espíritu
que va y viene, que no escampa y que no le da tranquilidad. Se encuentra
20
Puede verse el ya citado trabajo de Palleschi donde aparece un análisis de tipo psicológico,
desde una perspectiva contemporánea, a este caso.
21
‘Ventus est tribulatio magna et interior tentatio’. Adam Scott, Allegoriae in universam
sacram Scripturam (PL 112, 1073).
22
‘… sed sperabam, quando saeculo renuntiavi et ad vitam religiosam veni, ad pacem me et
quietem venisse. Credebam: nunc autem viceversa ad magnas tribulationes et angustias me
video pervenisse, et ad maiores miserias quam quas dum eram in saeculo! Et qui idcirco de
maris profundo ad portus soliditatem confugi, ut et ventorum violentiam et fluctum vitarem sae-
vitiam, nunc magis me sentio et fluctibus conquassari et undis hinc inde impelli in littore quam
solebam quando natabam in mari’. Adam Scott, Soliloquium, ed. J. Bouvet, en Collectanea
Cisterciensia 50 (1988), 122. Otra edición del mismo texto puede verse en PL 198, 844BC.
Es importante tener en cuenta que Bouvet atribuye, de modo infundado, esta obra a Adán
de Perseigne. Sobre esta discusión puede verse Francesco Palleschi, Les derniers écrits d’Adam
Scot. Analyse linguistique et stylistique du «De quadripartito exercitio cellae» (Salzburg, 2002),
129-39.

encerrado en una circularidad de movimiento – que por otro lado se relaciona

con la idea de viento – y que provoca en él una construcción autoreferencial o
bien, una construcción intelectual metareal, en la que la vida de cartujo se le
presenta como su única escapatoria. Se trata de efectos típicos de la acedia. El
metareal psicológico lo lleva oboedire Deo magis quam hominibus y buscar
entre los cartujos una vida más intelectual y, también, más dura.23
‘Ya no eres lo que eras, sino alguien totalmente distinto’, dirá en otra de sus
obras al referirse a las crisis de acedia.24 Ha sufrido un cambio psicológico
profundo, que lo ha turbado, angustiándolo y provocándole una profunda tris-
teza y esa necesidad, que ya advertían Evagrio y Casiano, de salir y de aban-
donar la estabilidad. No se trata, como los monjes del desierto, de vagar de
celda en celda visitando amigos, sino de cambiar de orden religiosa, corriendo
detrás de una supuesta perfección más adecuada para él. Es esa la imagen que
le presenta la construcción metareal que le ha provocado la acedia, y tras de la
cual se encamina.
Podemos concluir, entonces, afirmando que en la doctrina de Evagrio Pón-
tico al menos una de las estrategias que poseen los demonios en la provoca-
ción de las crisis de acedia en la vida monástica, consiste en la creación en el
alma del monje de una metarealidad que se interpone a su fin, consistente en
alcanzar la gnosis divina. Esa realidad ficticia, creada y alimentada por los
pensamientos obsesivos, impide o dificulta que la persona posea un contacto
adecuado con la realidad y, de esa manera, sus decisiones se tornan confusas y
equivocadas, alejándose consecuentemente de su fin.
Esta interpretación evagriana puede verse expresada en la vida y los escritos
del monje medieval Adam Scott. Por cierto, es improbable que éste haya
conocido los escritos de Evagrio. Sin embargo, el relato de sus vivencias espi-
rituales permite seguir de cerca, como expresión de un testimonio vivo, la
enseñanza de Evagrio.

23
Esta situación límite Adán la había previsto en otra de sus obras, en la que se plantea la
posibilidad de que un religioso no pueda cumplir su voto de perfección en el monasterio que ha
profesado debido a la vida laxa que en él se lleva. En ese caso, ‘oportet Deo obedire magis quam
hominibus’ (Hech. 5, 29), recuerda, y afirma que a tal monje no le podrá imputar la falta de
desobediencia porque es preferible obedecer a Dios aunque, para ello, se deba desobedecer a los
hombres. Cfr. Adan Scot, De ordine et habitu canonic. praem. VIII (PL 198, 504C).

citio cellae XXIV (PL 153, 842A).
