Часть текста: that abideth 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 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...

Часть текста: of it is, that I very much doubt my being an author of such importance as to interest by the incidents of my life not only the Russian, but also the European public. I am fully convinced by many examples of writers, of whom their contemporaries made very much of and which were quite forgotten in their lifetime, that for contemporaries it is impossible to judge rightly on the merits of literary works, and therefore, notwithstanding my wishes, I cannot partake the temporary illusion of some friends of mine, which seem to be sure, that my works must occupy some place in the Russian literature. Quite sincerely not knowing, if my works shall be read after hundred years, or will be forgotten in a hundred days, I do not wish to take a ridiculous part in the very probable mistake of my friends. Hoping, that on consideration of my motives you will kindly excuse my refusal, I am Yours faithfully C. L. Tolstoy. На конверте: Лондон. Г-ну Ралстону. London. M-r Ralston. Exquire. 8 Alfred Place. Bedford Square. Милостивый государь. Я очень сожалею, что не могу дать на ваше письмо положительного ответа. Дело в том, что я очень сомневаюсь, чтобы я был таким значительным писателем, события жизни которого могли бы представлять интерес не только для русской, но и для европейской публики. Я вполне убежден многочисленными примерами писателей, которых современники ставили сначала очень высоко, но которые затем были совершенно забыты еще при жизни, что современники не могут правильно судить о достоинствах литературных произведений. Поэтому, несмотря на мое желание, я не могу разделять временную иллюзию нескольких друзей, утверждающих с уверенностью, что мои произведения должны будут...

Часть текста: 45. Кеннет Бонду (Kenneth Bond). 1897 г. Марта 2. Никольское. Dear Sir, You are asking me a question which I am trying to solve those 20 last years. When we for the first time understand what true Christian life should be and how far from this Christian life is the life that we are living, it seems to us so natural and so easy to abandon the false wordly life and [lead] the true, happy one, that we arе astonished of finding hindrances to this change and ascribe generally those hindrances to our exclusive position. But in this we are mistaken. We think that our Christian life will begin when wе will be free from our wordly ties, but it begins when we are trying to undo those ties, and this undoing them in a Christian fashion without acting contrary to the principle in the name of which wo are chan ging our life, i. e. the love and the absence of violence is the main thing for a Christian. So that I 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...

Часть текста: - Кросби Эрнесту (Ernest Crosby), 11 апреля 1898 г. 115. Эрнесту Кросби (Ernest Crosby). 1898 г. Апреля 11? Москва. 23 April 1898. My dear Crosby, I think that Mr. Jones has noted quite rightly in refusing to help in the coercion that was wanted for the general good. (Coercion and all kind of violence is always wanted for the general good). To say that he acted rightly is not the adequate expression. I think he acted as he did because he could not act otherwise. To use coercion for a true christian is like a physical impossibility. And this impossibility is determining the position that such a man can occupy in society. Therefore I think that for a christian it is not necessary to renounce the position that he occupies for the reason of non-conformity of his position with his faith; he must only put in his position — it may be of an emperor, of a hangman, a president, a spy, a priest, a soldier, a judge — act in the position in which the christian enlightenment found him, as his conscience bids him, and the result will be just what it ought to be: he will be chassed from the...
