Часть текста: truthfulness always are very strong and seem to me indisputable, but I missed in your article the exposition of the relation between Truth and Love and a more profound definition of Truth than of B. Johnson. I think that Love is God, is life itself, is that, what is godly in man, and that Love, which is God and therefore infinite, being enclosed in man, tends to expand itself, and that is the motion of life, which we feel in ourselves, and that the unique means for Love to manifest itself and to expand is Truth. Falsehood, and especially falsehood against oneself, hinders Love to manifest itself and to expand. Therefore truth is so necessary and is the first of our duties; therefore also all the so often hypocritically used admonitions to love one’s neighbour are false and vain. Love is God and God is infinite, and man cannot augment God. All what a man can and must do, is to put aside all hindrances for the manifestation of God, i. e. Love, which is in him. And there is only one thing, that hinders this...

Часть текста: he has a system and is consequent in proposing his «moyen», because he believes in it. But I never heard from any socialist, communist or anarchist an explanation, how the communistic or socialistic system will work, why will the egoistic men cease to be egoistic, and what will prompt them to sustain a system, which, will not be advantageous for them personally, and never could comprehend, what advantage will have anarchy over the existing state of things, or how could anarchy be founded and last, if the hearts of men are not changed, if men have not accepted the Christian point of view. The «Gospel in brief» 3 I have looked through, and it seems to me to be a very good translation. I thank you heartely for the preface and for your book «The... 4 I have began to read Carpenter’s book 5 and find it very good. Please give him my thanks for sending it. I have read only the first article — Civilisation. The Epilogue of Maude’s book is excellent. 6 I never thought that he was so firm and radical, going to the last conclusions. I admire and envy you in your manual work. It is one of the first conditions for a good life. I try again to work and hope not to abandone it now, as I did it after my illness. 7 «The coming of the end» will appear in Paris, in the Journal des Débats. 8 I hope, that will not hinder ist publication in English papers. With love to you and our friends Yours Leo Tolstoy. Дорогой друг, Я получил посылку с книгами и вчера ваше письмо. Нынче получил «Свободу». 1 Очень рад был прочитать то, что вы пишете об анархистах. Я всегда считал, что они односторонние христиане, так же как социалисты и коммунисты. Сютаев, 2 о котором вы, я думаю, слышали, — крестьянин с радикальными христианскими взглядами, — когда...

Часть текста: but in solitude, which is corroborated both by the reason and the experience of every man, who has ever sincerely prayed to God, as the assembly of people only distracts, makes one’s thoughts wander and diverts them. I think that Sunday rest and dedication of this day to spiritual exercise may take place in the most various forms. One may suggest, that men of the same spirit, meeting together on Sunday, should bring to their meeting such religious books or articles which they find in ancient and modern literature and read and discuss them together; one may suggest, that meeting together on Sunday men of the same spirit should arrange dinners for the poor and themselves serve those dinners; one may suggest, that meeting together men of the same spirit should confess their sins to each other and discuss them. In short one can think of a hundred different forms of worship, which should all have for their aim a mutual spiritual help and should not be mechanical, but sensible. 2) Do I believe in the resurrection and that there is a hereafter? I believe in true, i. e. indestructible life which Christ has disclosed to us and for the which death does not exist. But this life should in no-wise be understood as a resurrection to future life, as a hereafter. One...

Часть текста: of Christianity — to act on our brethern not as on animals by violence, but by sweet reasonableness (as Mat[t]h[ew] Arnold 2 termed it) which is the only way to act thoroughly and durably on reasonable beings. Hoping that my bad English will not hinder you to understand what I mean to say, I remain, dear Sir, yours truly Leo Tolstoy. 15 Dec. 1902. Г. Герберту Уелшу. Милостивый государь, Я получил ваше письмо, книгу и брошюры. 1 Не могу не любоваться вашей деятельностью, но преступления, совершенные на Филиппинах, именно такие, какие, по моему мнению, всегда будут происходить в государствах, управляемых посредством насилия, или в которых насилие допускается и употребляется как необходимое и законное средство. Насилие, которое само по себе преступление, нельзя употреблять только до известного предела. Если только допустить насилие, оно всегда перейдет границы, которые мы хотели бы установить для него. Деяния, подобные совершенным на Филиппинах, в Китае и совершаемые ежедневно во всех псевдохристианских государствах, будут продолжаться до тех пор, пока человечество будет считать насилие средством достижения хороших результатов и не примет главного предписания христианства — поступать с нашими братьями не насилием, как с животными, а при помощи кроткой рассудительности (как назвал ее Мет[ью] Арнольд 2 ), которая является единственно верным и прочным средством воздействия на разумные существа. Надеясь, что мой плохой английский язык не помешает вам понять, что я хотел сказать, остаюсь, милостивый государь, искренно ваш Лев Толстой. 15 дек. 1902. Примечания Дата Толстого нового стиля: в копировальной книге № 5, л. 92, письмо отпечатано среди русских писем от первых чисел декабря. Черновик, мало отличающийся от...

Часть текста: Октября 23/ноября 5. Я. П . 23/5 October Toula. Jasnaya Poliana. Dear friend Iso Abé, It was a great pleasure for me to receive your letter and your paper 1 with the english article. 2 I thank you heartily for both. Though I never doubted that there are in Japan a great many reasonable, moral and religious men, who are opposed to the horrible crime of war which is now perpetrated by both betrayed and stupified nations, I was very glad to get the proof of it. It is a great joy for me to know that I have friends and coworkers in Japan with which I can be in friendly intercourse. Wishing to be quite sincere with you, as I wish to be with every esteemed friend, I must tell you that I do not approuve of socialism and am sorry to know that the most spiritually advanced part of your, so clever and energetic people, has taken from Europe the very feeble, illusory and fallacious theory of socialism, which in Europe is beginning to be abandoned. Socialism has for its aim the satisfaction of the meanest part of human nature: his material wellbeing and by the means it proposes can never attain them. The true wellbeing of humanity is spiritual i. e. moral and includes the material wellbeing. And this higher goal can be attained only by religious i. e. moral perfection of all the unites which compose nations and humanity. By religion I understand the reasonable belief in a (general for all humanity) law of God which practically is exposed in the precept of loving every man and doing to everybody what one wishes to be done to you. I know that this method seemes to be less expedient than socialism and other...

Часть текста: of Krishna before, but never had such a clear insight of it as I got from both parts of your book. Knowing you by your book I will reject all wordly considerations and be quite open with you, not fearing to hurt you by what I have to say. The metaphysical religious idea of the doctrine of Krishna, so well exposed in your book, is the eternal and universal foundation of all true philosophies and all religions. The truth that the principle of all that exists we cannot otherwise feel and understand than as Love and that the soul of man is an emanation of this principle, the development of which is what we call human life — is a truth that is more or less consciously felt by every man and therefore accessible to the most scientifically developed minds as well as to the most simple. This truth is the foundation of the religion of Krishna and of all religions. But in the religion of Krishna, as well as in all ancient religions, there are statements which not only cannot be proved, but...
