Часть текста: людей нашего мира занятиям иск[усством] придается огромное значение.[151] Огромное число людей занято этим[и] делам[и]. [152] 2) Но, наблюдая эти занятия людей,[153] нельзя не заметить, что все они, служа только увеселению и не принося никакой существенн[ой] пользы,[154] весьма часто приносят один вред, во 1-х, и тот, что бесполезно трат[ят] силы люди, а, во 2-х,[155] не облагораживание приносят, а[156] развращение людей и вместо блага зло (развратные романы,[157] театральные пьесы, картины). 3) И потому[158] естественно является вопрос,[159] на чем основано значение, придаваем[ое] искусству.

Часть текста: лицемерие. Тоже не согласен с тем, что вы называете вашей теологией. Вы полемизируете в ней с тем, во что 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...

Часть текста: 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 they are — we must use all possible means, sacrifice ourselves, but not employ violence. A true Christian will always prefer to be killed by a madman rather than to deprive him of his liberty. Secondly, that Mr. Ballou does not decide more categorically the question of property , for a true Christian not only cannot claim any rights of property, but the term «property» cannot have any signification for him, all that he uses, a Christian only uses till somebody does not takes it from him, he cannot defend his property, so he cannot have any. Property has been Achilles heel for the Quakers, and also for the Hopedale Community. 2 Thirdly, I think that for a true Christian, the term «government» (very properly defined ...

Часть текста: 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 causes, owing to which this astonishing spectacle arises, of the majority of the labouring classes submitting to a mere handful of idlers whom it permits to dispose not only of its labour but also of its very life, are always and everywhere the same; whether the oppressors and the oppressed belong to the same, or, as is the case in India and in other countries, where the dominant class belongs to an entirely different nation from those oppressed. It appears especially strange of India, for here we have a people of 200 millions of individuals, highly endowed with spiritual and physical powers, in absolute subjection to a small clique, composed of persons utterly alien in thought and aspiration and altogether inferior to those whom they enslave. These causes, as one can easily see from your letter, from the articles in «Free Hindustan», from the highly interesting writings of the Hindoo Swami Vivekananda and others, are in accord with that which causes the distress of...

Часть текста: he is ascending it still and never will reach the seat at the right hand of his father. And the same stands for all the miracles of the gospel. I think that the faith in the miracle excludes the faith in the teaching. If Christ could make all men healthy and rich (if he could make wine out of water, he could make all men rich) he should have done it instead of teaching men how to be blessed without health and riches. Those who accept the miracles, accept them only because they do not want to accept the teaching. 2) The divinity of Christ? The chief meaning of the definition of God is that He is a being different from man, above him and therefore if I say that man is God, I say a contradiction, just as if I said: spirit (the definition of which is something that is not matter) — spirit is matter. Christ being God is a belief that can be kept only by people who do not want to accept his teaching. If Christ is man the chief purport of his advent is his teaching and if I accept Christ as teacher I must follow his doctrine, but if he is God his teaching is only a little part of his significance. The chief thing is the story of his relation to the Father, the punishement of innocent people, the atonement, the sacrements, the church, the pope and so on, but not his teaching which cannot be accepted by the clergy, because it destroys at once their position and shows that their vocation is only a pretence to feed at the cost of the people. 3) About personal immortality? I think that in this life internal experience shows us that the less we live our personal life, the more we feel sure of immortality, and the reverse, so that by analogy we must think that immortality must coincide with complete renunciation of self. I said all I thought about this matter in the last chapters of my book «On Life». 4) I not only believe that a life founded on the laws of Jesus, as they are expressed in the sermon on the mount, is to be realized...

Часть текста: abstract truth, but as a practical one, such a truth, the acceptation of which would deliver men from their miseries and give them the greatest welfare; but, strange though it seems to say so nothing has so much hindered the spreading of the truth, as the too hasty desire to make others accept it. I have always been deeply affected by the seldom noticed words of Christ to his 70 disciples, when they returned from preaching and boasted of their success, saying that everywhere the devils were subject unto them: «In this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather, because your names are written in heaven». In other words: seek not exterior success visible to all men, do not count your proselytes, as do the churchmen & the salvation army, 1 but seek to be in the truth, never to deviate from it & success, thoough perhaps invisible to you, will follow, will certainly follow, because when a man is in the truth he will act and his action will inevitably have the most fruitful results, if even they will not be visible to him. The same is expressed in the words «Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness & all these things shall be added unto you»; & in the words: «Be ye wise as...

Часть текста: not escape to accept true Christianity, which alone has the answer to those questions of life, that now face all men and call for a solution, which neither Buddhism nor Confucianism can give. All the great teachers of humanity have at all time preached the brotherhood of men, but it is Christianity alone, which points out the way, whereby this can be attained. You have translated my works, such as «the Kreuzer Sonata» etc., but I very much wish to make the Japanese public familiar with true Christianity, as I think its founder conceived it. This, as far as I could, I expounded in my book: «The kingdom of god is within you». I think, these books or, at least, an exposition of their contents might be of interest to the Japanese people and might show them, that Christianity is not a collection of miracle narratives, but a very srtict exposition of that idea of human life, which gives wise neither to despair, nor to indifference about ones conduct, but which leads to a most definite moral activity. I advised your friends to order from Geneva those books, which you would like to have. But if you wish it, I will myself send you for translation the book, on which I am now engaged. As far, as I have been able to make it, it contains the most condensed and precise exposition of the Christian teaching. I gave Toku-Tomi some...

Часть текста: various legal disabilities. The prejudice against colour and in some respect against Asiatics, is intense in that country. It is largely due, so far as Asiatics are concerned, to trade jealousy. The climax was reached three years ago, when a law passed specially apllicable to Asiatics 1 , which I and many others considered to be degrading and calculated to unman those to whom it was applicable. I felt that submission to a law of this nature, was inconsistent with the spirit of true religion. I and some of my friends were, and still are firm believers in the doctrine of nonresistance to evil. I had the privilege of studying your writings also, which left a deep impression on my mind. British Indians, before whom the position was fully explained, accepted the advice that we should not submit to the legislation, but that we should suffer imprisonment, or whatever other penalties the law may impose for its breach. The result has been that nearly one half of the Indian population, that was unable to stand the heat of the struggle to suffer the hardships of imprisonment, have...

Часть текста: is maintained by prisons, gallows, police, army and workhouses. Of real order there is none; only, that which infringes, it is hidden from our view in prisons, penal settlements and slums. And I think, that the dicease remains so long uncured, because it is concealed. So likewise with brotherhood or church communities. They also are semblances. There cannot be a community of saints among sinners. I think, that the members of a community in order to keep the semblance of sainthood must necessarily commit many new sins. We are so created, that we cannot become perfect either one by one, or in groups, but (from the very nature of the case) only all together. The warmth of any drop (or particle) is transmitted to all the others. And were it possible to conserve the heat of one particle, so that it should not pass to the others and therefore did not cool — it would only prove, that we took for heat, was not true heat. And I therefore think, that were our friends to direct towards their inner spiritual growth all the portion of attention and energy, which they devote to the sustainement of the...

Во всем остальном ваше интервью совершенно правильно и очень хорошо написано. Искренно ваш Лев Толстой. Сент. 1903. Примечания Печатается по копировальной книге № 5, лл. 257—258. Число даты в копировальной книге не отпечаталось. Датируется по расположению письма в копировальной книге. Джемс Крильман (1859—1915) — американский журналист, сотрудник «New-York Herald». Был у Толстого в конце 1890-х гг. и летом 1903 г. Ответ на письмо Джемса Крильмана от 6 сентября н. ст. 1903 г., в котором он спрашивал мнение Толстого по поводу намерения Вильяма Брайана приехать в Ясную Поляну. 1 Вильям Дженнинг Брайан (1860—1925), адвокат, видный член демократической партии. Приезжал к Толстому в первых числах декабря 1903 г. См. т. 75. 2 Вильям Харпер (1856—1906), американский семитолог, ректор Чикагского университета. По возвращении в Америку, в августе 1903 г., Крильман опубликовал в «New-York World» статью о беседе с Толстым. Статья была перепечатана многими американскими газетами. В ней Крильман привел следующий отзыв Толстого о Харпере: «В прошлом году меня посетил ректор Чикагского университета г. Харпер. Он рассказывал о миллионах долларов, пожертвованных университету Рокфеллером, и, повидимому, приписывал этому большое значение. Когда я заговорил с ним о серьезных вещах, он оказался настоящим невеждой, совершенным варваром... И такой человек стоит ...
