Часть текста: in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him. 1 Ep. John. Chap. 4. God is one Whole; we are the parts. Exposition of the teaching of the Veddas by Vivekananda. I Do not seek rest in that plane where the earthly gives birth to thoughts and desires, for if thou dost, thou wilt be dragged through the rough wilderness of life, which is not of Me. Whenever thou feelest that thy feet are becoming entangled in the interlaced roots of life, know then that thou hast strayed from the path to which I beckon thee, for I have placed thee in broad smooth paths which are strewn with flowers. I have put a light before thee, which thou can’st follow and thus run without stumbling. Krishna P. 212. I received your letter and the two issues of the magazine. Both were intensely interesting to me; indeed, the oppression of a majority by the minority of a people and the corruption which flows from it, is a phenomenon which has always occupied my mind and at present is entirely occupying my attention. I will endeavour to convey to you what I think, both in a particular and a general way, about those causes from which those dreadful calamities have arisen and do arise, of which you write in your letter and which are also mentioned in the two numbers of the Hindoo magazine you sent me. The...

Часть текста: letter I must explain to avoid misunderstanding. It is about compromise. I said that compromise, inevitable in practice, cannot be admitted in theory. What I mean is this: Man never attains perfection but only approaches it. As it is impossible to trace in reality a mathematically straight line and as every such line is only an approach to the latter, so is every degree of perfection attainable by man — only an approach to the perfection of the Father, which Christ showed us the way to emulate. Therefore, in reality, every deed of the best man and his whole life will be always only a practical compromise — a resultant between his feebleness and his striving to attain perfection. And such a compromise in practice is not a sin, but a necessary condition of every Christian life. The great sin is the compromise in theory, is the plan to lower the ideal of Christ in view to make it attainable. And I consider the admission of force (be it even benevolent) over a madman (the great difficulty is to give a strict definition of a madman) to be such a theoretical compromise. In not admitting this compromise I run the risk only of my death or the death of other men who can be killed by the madman; but death will come sooner or later, and death in fulfilling the will of God is a blessing (as you put it yourself in your book); but in admitting this compromise I run the risk of acting contrary to the law of...

Часть текста: потому что в это время почти все понимаешь, всем интересуешься, и все так просто и ясно, так в бога веришь спокойно и так уверена, что все делается богом. Потом вдруг начинаешь узнавать, что совсем бог ни в чем не причастен, что не ангел божий меня принес на землю, как меня учили, и что совсем не потому дети родятся, что муж с женой в церковь съездили. И все спрашиваешь себя: где же здесь бог? - и не находишь его. Тогда начинаешь искать его во всем, стараясь ко всему придраться, чтобы найти его, и не находишь. Я до сих пор не нашла его. Многие говорят, что бог - это "добро" или, что мама нынче говорила: "Сила природы и бог - это одно и то же". Но зачем же называть это богом, молиться ему, верить, что он может услыхать молитву, когда это "добро" или "природа"? Говорят, что эгоистом быть дурно. Но как же не быть эгоистом? По-моему, все надо делать для себя, не для тела, а для своей души: делать добро другим для себя же, для своей души. Нынче Урусов говорит, что никогда себя не надо лишать: хочешь носить атласные платья, так и носи, и только тогда делай добро, когда хочется. Я этого никак понять не могу: по-моему, тогда это не будет добро, когда не трудно это сделать. Гораздо больше заслуги, если, например, я не поеду на бал, куда мне до смерти хочется, а отдам деньги, на которые я сшила бы себе платье. Спрошу у папа: я во многом ему верю и соглашаюсь. Нынче первый день теплый после последних холодов. Тети Танина гувернантка Sophie купалась. Она - первая, только Илюша в Москве еще купался. Он только вчера ночью приехал, я его дождалась. Мы с ним очень нежно поцеловались, кажется, в первый раз в жизни. Дядя Саша по делам в Москве и тетю Таню туда выписал. Папа и Сережа тоже там. Папа сегодня ночью приедет. Я его дождусь. Теперь 10 часов вечера. Наверху сидят: мама,...

Часть текста: colony would not exist for a moment. And therefore to live in community cannot save a christian from the contradiction between his conscience and his life. I do not mean to say that I do not approve of communities such as your commonwealth, or that I do not think them to be a good thing. On the contrary, I approve of them with all my heart and am very interested in your commonwealth and wish it the greatest success. I think that every man who can free himself from the conditions of wordly life without breaking the ties of love — love the main principle in the name of which he seeks new forms of life — I think such a man not only must, but naturally join people who have the same beliefs and who try to live up to them. If I were free I would immediately even at my age join such a colony. I only wished to say that the mere forming of communities is not a solution for the christian problem, but is only one of the means of its solution. The revolution that is going on for the attainment of the christian ideal is so enormous, our life is so different from what it ought to be, that for the perfect success of this revolution, for the concordance of conscience and life, is needed the work of all men — men living in communities as well as men of the world living in the most different conditions. This ideal is not so quickly and so simply attained, as we think and wish it. This ideal will be attained only when every man in the whole world will say: Why should I sell my services and buy yours? If mine are greater than yours I owe them to you, because if there is in the whole world one man who does not think and act by this principle, and who, will take and keep by violence, what he can take from others, no man can live a true christian life, as well in a community as outside it. We cannot be saved separately, we must be saved all together. And this can be...

Часть текста: Морисону Давидсону (J. Morrison Davidson). 1900 г. Августа 1/13. Я. П. Toula. Dear Mr Morrison Davidson, I thank you very much for your book. I have read the first part and not only approve, but admire it very much. Your idea that history should be the history of the toiler, is perfectly true, and I hope will very soon be admitted by every body. You have shown also the way to do it. I hope and wish that the «Annals of toil» would have the greatest success. I admired also very much the choice that you made of your mottos. Thanking you once more for your book and also for the mention in it of my name, I remain, with high regard and sympathy, Yours truly, Leo Tolstoy. 1900. 12 August. Тула. Дорогой г. Морисон Давидсон, Благодарю вас очень за вашу книгу. Я прочел первую часть ее и не только одобряю, но восхищаюсь ею. Ваша мысль о том, что история должна быть историей трудящегося, вполне правильна, и я надеюсь, что она будет скоро признана всеми. Вы также показали путь, которым это может быть достигнуто. Я надеюсь и...

Часть текста: as to suffice for a great quantity of people. Having arranged all this the benefactor wrate very distingly a direction how to use his hostelry and all the thing that where gathered in it. This decretion the benefactor nailed on the entrance door so that every man should see it. In the direction it was writen that every man who entered the hostelry might stay in it as long as it was good for him and might eate and drink at his heart content and use all what was gathered in the inn clothes or boots or kind of provisions. The sole condition which was required from the travelers was that they schould take only what they needed presently and that they should help each other and leaving the hostelry made things tidy as before their arrival. Having arranged all this and written and hanged on the door this direction the benefactor himself retired. But it came to pass that when people came ent the hostelry they ded not look at the direction and began to use all the goods that where at their desposal without thinking of other people and triing to get all the thinges allthough not needed all everybody for himself.[26] They took began to quarrel between themselve over the goods. In snatching goods from each other spoiled them and sometime spoiled things aut of selfish spite in order that others schould not get them. So that havend spoiled everything in the inn, they began to sutler from cold and hunger, and from the injuries they themselves had inflicted on each other, and abused their host for having prepared too little goods, for not having placed caretakers, tor having allowed all sorts of bad men to enter. Others said that there egisted no anybody to abuse and that the hostelry had no master and had come into egistence (by itself) and that a bad damned place. In this same way behave in our world people who dos not read the direction of our life writen in our hearts and in all the great teachengs of ...

Часть текста: How do you manage to keep communial, but nevertheless property? Do you acknowledge the possibility for a Christian to defend property from usurpators? I ask this question because I think that the principle of non-resistance is the chief trait of true Christianity and the greatest difficulty in our time is to be true to it. How do you manage to do so in your community? With sincere respect and love yours truly Leo Tolstoy. I received your tracts, you say in your letter that [you] have sent me books, did you mean them or did you send me books calling the tracts books? I received more than a year the Oregon paper World Advance Thought, sometimes. I saw in it your articles. 2 I am very thankful to the editor for sending this paper; in every № I get spiritual nourishment if it were not for some spiritistic tendency that is foreign to me. Who is the editor and how long ago has it been founded? [I] agree with all its religious views. I like this paper very much. Дорогой друг и брат. Благодарю вас за ваше доброе письмо. Большой радостью было для меня узнать, что вы разделяете мои мысли о христианстве (я получил брошюры, которые вы мне послали 1 ), и был очень удовлетворен вашими взглядами...
