A Monk is a male religious living in a cloister and devoting himself to contemplation and prayer and work. A Nun is woman religious following the same routine as a monk. Some orders do much good in serving the poor and doing social work. All fail to keep the very first commandment which was to multiply and replenish the earth.
In the writers view, those orders which help the poor and needy will receive their reward when they stand before God, while those who devote themselves purely to prayer and meditation are of no use to themselves or to mankind.
Here is another Answer: According to the Orthodox Church, monks and nuns have a special place in society. Their main role is to pray for their souls, and to pray to God for others and to pray for the whole world. They also provide a place of peace and solitude for visitors, who can find an atmosphere of calm and tranquility; away from the noise and stresses of modern life. Monks and nuns are considered to be holy because they devote their whole life to God. This is in keeping with the New Testament where St Paul says: "I say to the unmarried...it is good for them if they remain as I am." (1 Corinthians 7:8) Even though marriage is blessed, St Paul views being unmarried (like he was) as an even higher calling than marriage. The New Testament teaching is different from the Old Testament, because it is no longer the aim of life or of marriage for human beings to populate the earth. The aim of life and marriage is to attain salvation. This can be done either as a monastic, married person, or unmarried person. So monks and nuns serve as a good example to those of us who wish to remain unmarried (like St Paul) and who choose to fully serve God without all the distractions and temptations of modern day life.
