Demetrius is here, in the main,  speaking about the deeper inner spiritual struggle, that all of us must struggle with,  against 'the right' (i.e. self-righteous-judgmentalism towards others, i.e. pride), but he here also touches on the unity of the faithful, IN MUTUAL  LOVE,  and the proper mutual obedience/and humility ['Sobornost' in Russian] we all must have to both our lawful bishops and priests,  and also TO EACH OTHER....which is what Christ commanded His disciples to have. He speaks in his normal  soft voice, so it is a bit hard to hear, in some of his sentences,  clearly all of his words, and too, because his words are jammed-packed with spiritual and ascetic and patristic wisdom, one must concentrate on what is his full and deeper meaning....the implications to our daily lives.
