Часть текста: Приня[лъ] 5 гр[анъ] хины, къ вечеру лучше. 2 [15]. Среда. Похоже на перебои. Жизнь идетъ въ предел[ахъ]. Движенiе въ этихъ предел[ахъ] расширяетъ ихъ.[1314] ———————————————————————————————————— [1315]Говорятъ: будущая жизнь. Если человекъ веритъ въ Бога и законъ его, то онъ веритъ и въ то, что онъ живетъ въ мiре по его закону. А если такъ, то и смерть происходитъ по тому же закону и есть только возвращенiе къ Нему.[1316] 3 [16]. Четвергъ. Половину дня лежалъ. Лучше. Поправлялъ письм[о], получилъ письмо отъ Чер[ткова]. ———————————————————————————————————— 4 [17]. Пятница. Не лучше, а стало хуже вечеромъ. Послали за докт[оромъ] Тихон[овымъ]. Всю ночь не спалъ. Съ утра поправлялъ письмо, написалъ Черткову. Бываютъ минуты, что не могу[1317] радоваться или хоть равнодушно смотреть на приближенiе смерти. А бываетъ въ хорошiя минуты что такъ просто хорошо.[1318] ———————————————————————————————————— 5 [18]. Суббота. [1319]Очень слабъ и все...

Часть текста: уже никто из мыслящих людей нашего времени не верит и не может верить. Между тем вы сами как будто признаете бога, имеющего определенные и понятные вам цели. «То my mind unless we conceive God as engaged in a continual struggle to surpass himself, — as striving at every birth to make a better man than before, we are conceiving nothing better, than an omnipotent snob». 1 Об остальном же вашем рассуждении о боге и о зле повторяю слова, которые я высказал, как вы пишете, о вашем «Man and Superman», 2 а именно, что вопросы о боге, о зле и добре слишком важны для того, чтобы говорить о них шутя. И потому откровенно скажу вам, что заключительные слова вашего письма произвели на меня очень тяжелое впечатление: «suppose the world were only one of God’s jokes, would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one» — «предположите, что мир есть только одна из божьих шуток. Разве вы в силу этого меньше старались бы превратить его из дурной шутки в хорошую?» Ваш Лев Толстой. Bernard Shaw. 9 May 1910 Jasnaya Poliana. Toula. Russia. My dear Mr. Bernard Shaw, I have received your play and your witty letter. I have read your play with pleasure. I am in full sympathy with its subject. Your remark that the preaching of righteousness has generally little influence on people and that young men regard as laudable that which is contrary righteousness is quite correct. It does not however follow that such preaching is unnecessary. The reason of the failure is that those who preach do not fulfill what they preach, i. e hypocrisy. I also cannot agree with what you call your theology. You enter into controversy with that which no thinking person of our time believes or believe: with a God-creator. And yet you seem to recognise a God who has got definite aims comprehensible to...

Часть текста: Polyana Tula, Russia Iuly 5, 1889 Dear Sir. I have seldom experienced so much gratification as I had in reading Mr. Ballou’s 1 treatise and tracts. I cannot agree with your opinion that Mr. Ballou «will not go down to posterity among the immortals...» I think that because he has been one of the first true apostles of the «New Time» — he will be in the future acknowledged as one of the chief benefactors of humanity. If, in his long and seemingly unsuccessful career, Mr. Ballou has experienced moments of depression in thinking that his efforts have been vain; he has only partaken of the fate of his and our Master. Tell him please, that his efforts have not been vain, they give great strength to people, as I can judge from myself. In those tracts I found all the objections that are generally made against «non-resistance» victoriously answered and also the true basis of the doctrine. I will endeavor to translate and propagate as much as I can, the works of Mr. Ballou, and I not only hope, but am convinced, that the time is come, «when the dead hear the voice of the Son of god; and they that hear shall live». The only comments that I wish to make on Mr. Ballou’s explanation of the doctrine, are, firstly, that I cannot agree with the concession that he makes for employing violence against drunkards and insane people, the Master made no concessions, and we can make none. We must try, as Mr. Ballou putsit, to mave impossible the existence of such persons, but if ...

Часть текста: think that a Christian, — and you in your case — must not try to show to others what true life is, but to make in his soul the internal change, which will bring you not in the position, that you imagine yourself you must occupy, but which will be the necessary result of your internal change. When the seventy came back to Christ and said to him, that the devils obeyed them, he answered: don’t be glad of your power over the devils, but try that your names should be written in Heaven. I think that you know all this better than I, and will excuse me for writing what may be superfluous to you. I write this because I have been in the same position in which you are and know the feeling of decouragement which came over you, when the change in my life did not come so as I expected. Therefore I advise you to work with all your energy for the Kingdom of God within you, without making determinated plans for your personal life. Your external position will be the result of the internal change. Do you know John Kenworthy and his church and his paper? 1 His adress is Croydon. I think you will find spiritual help in putting yourself in communication with him and his people. Lately there...
