Часть текста: 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,...

Часть текста: whole world, and to which nothing can resist, — it is christian love. You can find his «moyen» not sufficient, but 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...

Часть текста: 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 frail theories, but it is the sole true one. And all the efforts we use in trying to realize false and not reaching their aims theories only hinder us to employ the sole true means to attain the degree of happiness of mankind and of every individual which so proper to our time. Excuse me for the liberty I take to discuss your creed and for my bad english and believe me to be your true friend Leo Tolstoy. I will be always glad to have news from you. 23/5 октября Тула. Ясная Поляна. Дорогой друг Изо-Абэ, Для меня было большим удовольствием получить ваше письмо и вашу газету 1 с английской статьей. 2 Сердечно благодарю вас за то и за другое. Хотя я никогда не сомневался, что в Японии ...

Часть текста: it among our friends. It is remarkably well put in such a compacte, form the chief truths of our faith. What are your relations to the declaration of sentiments of the non-resistance society started by Garrison? 2 Were you a member of it at the time? I quite agree with you that Christianity will never enter its promised land till the divine truth of the non-resistance principle shall be recognized, but not the nominal church will recognize it. I am fully convinced that the churches are and have always been the worst enemies of Christ’s work. They have always led humanity not in the way of Christ, but out of it. I think that all we can say and wish about church is to try to be a member of Christ’s church, but we never can define the church itself, its limits, and affirm, that we are members of the sole, true church. With true brotherly love and highest respect, I remain your friend and brother Leo Tolstoy. Дорогой друг и брат, я редко испытывал такое истинное и большое удовольствие, как при чтении вашего истинно братского и христианского письма. Очень благодарю вас за книги и брошюры, которые вы мне прислали. 1 Я получил их благополучно и некоторые из них прочел с большим удовольствием и пользой. Катехизис непротивляющихся я перевел и буду распространять его среди наших друзей. В нем замечательно...

Часть текста: Л. Н. - Кенворти Джону (John С. Kenworthy), 30 декабря1901 г. (12 января 1902 г.) 194. Джону Кенворти (John Kenworthy). 1901 г. Декабря 30/1902 г. января 12. Гаспра. Koreis. Crimea. Dear friend, I thank you heartily for sending me your writings 1 and especially for your kind letter. I can say quite sincerely that I never forgot and never will the gladness that I felt in knowing you and your work and the joy that I got from my communion with you. 2 I can not help saying that I am sorry for the importance that you attach to spiritism. Your true and pure Christian faith and life are much more reliable than all that the spirits can say to you. Your true friend Leo Tolstoy. 1 Jan./30 dec. 1902. Кореиз. Крым. Дорогой друг. От души благодарю вас за присылку ваших сочинений 1 и особенно за ваше доброе письмо. Могу сказать совершенно искренно, что я никогда не забывал и никогда не забуду, какой радостью для меня было знакомство с вами и вашей деятельностью, и ту радость, которую я получал от общения с вами 2 . Не могу не сказать, что я сожалею о значении, которое вы придаете спиритизму. Ваша истинная и чистая христианская вера и жизнь достойны гораздо большего доверия, чем всё, что могут вам сказать...

Часть текста: in America and Russia from direct slavery. Unfortunately, as direct slave-owners endeavoured with all their power to retain direct slavery, which was advantageous for them, so also at the present time the wealthy classes use all their power for the retention of indirect slavery based upon landed property. In Russia, where people have never recognised landed property, this infamous action is particularly loathsome on the part of a stupid and coarse government which is endeavouring not only to retain the slaves in their servitude, but also by depraving the people to intensify their slavery in the future. I regard as stupid the action of our present government, because if it had put into practice Henry Georgeis principle that land cannot become exclusive property, — a principle always recognised and still recognised by the great mass of the Russian peasantry, — this measure alone, more effectually than all the acts of violence and cruelty now being accomplished by the government, would have pacified the people, and rendered impossible the codtinuation of the revolution. Whereas the Russian government has had recourse to a measure pricisely contrary to such an one by encouraging in every way the transference of the land from communal ownership to private individual ownership. 1 In this I see the government's astounding stupidity. Whilst in those measures which the government applies for the repression of the dissafection amongst the people naturally flowing from their want in land, is manifested the government’s astounding cruelty. Therefore the activity of the Single-Tax League organised in England is especially gladdening. Henry George is especially to be appreciated by those who profess Christianity in its true sense, for not only are the foundations of his teaching, but also his methods truly...

Девочка, дурная и дурно вознагражденная прислуга, но прислуга. Она работает, не учится, спит на сундуке, не ест с вами — это дурно. Хозяйства полевого нет. Это не пойдет при невнимании. Будут упреки. — Неряшество, нечистота. Резюме: Надо или отказаться от управления, найдя прикащика, уничтожить лошадей, собак, вещи и самому[160] работать в Гриневке или Александровке (Шенбель, Алмазов), или быть умным взыскательным хозяином, нанять прислугу и жить, как следует господам. Без иронии говорю, лучше, чем теперь. Теперь я вижу, что ты несчастлив, а С[оня] счастлива только ребенком и отдаляется от тебя больше и больше. — Несчастлив ты от неправильной жизни, от мелочей, к[оторые] надо уничтожить: куренье, вино, копанье с мастерством (пока), позднее вставанье. Еще — постели врозь. [ 20 М . 89. Я . П. ] Пр[оизведение] иск[усства] есть то, что откр[ывает] новое, ясно[161] и искренно.[162] Но, чтобы произв[едение] иск[усства] было истин[ным] и заслуживало уважен[ия], надо, чтобы оно б[ыло] добр[ое]. Тогда оно будет прекрасно и правдиво. Для того же, чтоб оно б[ыло] доброе, оно долж[но] быть согласно с учением об истинном благе.

Часть текста: do it through me, as they did in the time of the famine, I will do as they wish, but I would rather not have anything to do with money matters, which are always full of sin. And this is an example of it. You are not rich, but nevertheless you gave a good sum of money with the best wishes, and this gift of yours has awakened in me very bad feelings: it seemed to me, that you must reproach me of inconsistency or in want of delicacy, if not asking, letting others ask money for my friends from strangers, when the members of my family are rich. Excuse me for saying all this, but I prefer to be sincere with you, because I like and esteem you very much, and have retained from our intercourse the most kind remembrances. You have heard, I think, of the persecution of the Duchobori, that is going on in the Caucasus. I have sent a correspondence about it to my friend Mr. John Kenworthy (London) and it will, I hope, appear very soon in the English papers. With best love, your friend Leo Tolstoy. Дорогой друг, Я получил ваше письмо 1 и чек на 92 рубля и пошлю его Черткову, который перешлет его по назначению. Сожалею, что Чертков обратился через вас к Обществу Друзей и признаюсь вам откровенно, что мне очень неприятно быть причастным к этому делу. 2 Если бы я считал, что христианину хорошо иметь в своем распоряжении деньги и что можно делать добро деньгами, я сохранил бы свое состояние и помогал бы людям деньгами. Но так как я считаю, что христианин не должен иметь никакой собственности и что...

Часть текста: publication of my book 1 I have got brothers in AmericА. I have been lately asking the same question that you put to me of Mr. Garrison, 2 who has sent to me the life of his father. 3 Namely I have been asking if there are many persons in America who confess the true Christian religion, which has been exposed in the declaration of non-resistancЕ. In answer to your question I can state to you that there are 30 or 40 persons known to me who confess with me the Christian principles, exposed in my book and that with every year and month their number increases. We are not organized in a church and never will bЕ. I think that the sole means to get in a true church is not to organize churches or communities, but to seek only after the Kingdom of God and its trutН. We will meet there from all parts of the world, and from all different nations and religious confessions if only we are true seekers of the trutН. I shall expect your promised information and be very thankful for iТ. Leo Tolstoy. Дорогой друг, я был очень рад получить ваше письмо, и узнать, что, благодаря напечатанию моей книги, 1 я приобрел братьев в Америке. Тот вопрос, который вы мне задаете, я недавно задал Гаррисону, 2 который прислал мне биографию своего отца. 3 (Именно, я спрашивал, много ли людей в Америке исповедуют истинную христианскую религию, изложенную в декларации непротивления). В ответ на ваш вопрос, могу сказать вам, что мне известны 30—40 лиц, которые разделяют вместе со мной христианские принципы, изложенные в моей книге, и что с каждым годом и месяцем число их увеличивается. Мы не объединены в какую-либо церковь и никогда не станем объединяться. Я считаю, что единственный путь, который ведет к истинной церкви — это не организовывать какую-либо церковь или общину, а только искать царства Божия и его правды. И если мы искренно ищущие истины, то там мы встретим людей из всех частей света, разных национальностей и вероучений. Буду ждать обещанных...

Часть текста: to read your book «Krishna» and am under a very strong impression of it. I knew the teaching 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 which are clearly products of uncontrolled imagination and which, moreover, are quite unnecessary for the conception of the essential truth and the affirmation of rules of conduct which flow out of the fundamental principle. Such are all the ...
