Часть текста: 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...

Часть текста: of what we are striving at, but are not ready for, and therefore being satisfied with the semblance of that, which should be. Compulsory governement organization is indeed nought else, than the semblance of good order, which 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 outer form of a community amongst themselves — it would be better both for them and for God’s cause. Communities and external organisations seem to me to be lawful and useful only, when they are inevitable consequences of a corresponding inner state. For instance, if two men, from a calculation, that it is more profitable to live in one house and eat one dinner, were to say to each other:...

Милостивый государь, Благодарю вас за письмо и отмеченную статью в «Single Tax Review». 1 Я очень рад слышать, что разрешение этого вопроса подвигается в вашей стране вперед. Безразличие России к этому важнейшему вопросу является для меня необъяснимой загадкой. Я пытался предлагать эту систему членам правительства 2 и Думы, но они все кажутся столь запятыми разными незначительными делами, что не имеют ни времени, ни ума для этого серьезного вопроса. Однако вопрос этот должен быть решен, и в скором времени. Так что я совершенно с вами согласен, что нам предстоит пережить великие времена. Искренне ваш Лев Толстой. 28 марта 1908.

It always seemed strange and incredible to me, that such a thoughtful and non-superstitious people as the Japanese could accept and believe all those absurd dogmas, having nothing in common with Christian truth, which constitute the substance of ecclesiastic Christianity, both of Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Lutheranism. On the contrary, I always thought, that the people both of Japan and China could 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...

Dear Sir, I received your book and thank you for it. The translation seems to me to be very good, though I am not a competent judge of it. I have read many translations — French, German, Russian and English, and it seems to me that yours is one of the best. It produces the impression of profound wisdom which in its depth can not be quite clearly expressed. Yours truly Leo Tolstoy. 14 april 1903. Исааку В. Хейзингеру. Милостивый государь, Получил вашу книгу и благодарю за нее. Перевод, мне кажется, очень хорош, хотя я в этом не компетентный судья. Я читал много переводов — французских, немецких, русских и английских, и мне кажется, что ваш один из лучших.

Часть текста: and husbands, wifes and children should not make an exception. The more it is difficult for a Christian to establish brotherly relations between himself and his nearest relations, the more he must try to do it. The other thing that I do not approuve is that you do not allow your children to mix with the external world. I think a Christian must not enclose himself and his children in a narrow circle of his com[m]unity, but must try to act towards the whole world as if the whole world where his community and so he must educate the children. Please explain to me your words «when we received the light». How did you receive it? and what do you understand by the word «light»? Please also give me more details of the history of your community, I will be very thankful for it. My adress is: Tula , Russia. Thanking you again for your letter I remain Yours truly L. Tolstoy. 22 September. Дорогая сестра, Очень был рад получить ваше письмо и узнать, что есть люди, живущие так, как вы, и что вы знаете меня и хотите вступить со мною в общение. Пожалуйста, сообщите мне побольше подробностей о вашей жизни: есть ли у вас собственность? как вы ею распоряжаетесь? непротивленцы ли вы? То, о чем вы пишете: что вы берете на себя низшие обязанности, трудясь, как прислуга, работаете собственными руками и что вы освободились от принадлежности к какому-либо признанному вероисповеданию, — представляется мне истинными условиями христианской жизни. Но буду вполне искренним, надеясь, что и вы будете так же искренни по отношению ко мне, и выскажу вам, что мне кажется неправильным в вашей жизни. Я думаю, что покидать мужей, жен и детей — ошибка. Я думаю, что...

Часть текста: letter, 1 dear friend. I heard of your illness and am very glad to know that you are rid of it. Nathalie G. 2 and Mascha Shanks 3 have been here yesterday and we spoke with them very much about you. It is strange to say it, but I was glad to know of the faults of the D[uchobors]. 4 There are no shadows in the pictures that they draw of them, and they seem not to be real. I think that it is very good for them to have such friends as you and others of our friends. You are the consciousness of their principles, and with your help they feel more vividly their faults. I think that illness has lowered their spirit. Say them, please that I will do what I can to take them from Cyprus, and I hope that I will be succesful. If I could 5 write Russian, my letter would be very long because I wish to say many things to you, but as I cannot do it, I must finish my letter. With true brotherly love, Leo Tolstoy. Please forward my letter to Potapoff and Веригинъ. 6 Москва. А. Син-Джону. Очень благодарю вас за ваше письмо, 1 дорогой друг. Я слышал о вашей болезни и очень рад узнать, что вы поправились. Наталия И[енкен] 2 и Маша Шанкс 3 были у нас вчера, и мы очень много говорили с ними о вас. Странно сказать, но я был рад узнать о недостатках Д[ухоборов]. 4 В картине, которую с них рисуют, нет теней, поэтому они кажутся не живыми. Я думаю, что им очень полезно иметь таких друзей, как вы и другие наши друзья. Вы служите им совестью, напоминающей им о их принципах, и с вашей помощью они живее чувствуют свои ошибки. Я думаю, что они ослабели духом вследствие болезни. Скажите им, пожалуйста, что я сделаю, чтò могу, чтобы вывезти их с Кипра, и надеюсь, что мне это удастся. Если бы я мог писать вам по-русски, то письмо мое...

Часть текста: you write about Anarchists. I thought always, that they must be onesided Christian, as are socialists and communists. Sutaieff, 2 of whom I think you have heard, a peasant with radical Christian views, when he was asked, how they will manage so sustain the Christian life and what they will oppose to agressive violence, answered with greatest conviction, that we, christians, have something, which is stronger, than the armies of the 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.

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. ...

Часть текста: so good as to promise in your letter. Mr. Kallenbach has written to you about Tolstoy Farm. Mr. Kallenbach and I have been friends for many years. I may state that he has gone through most of the experiences that you have so graphically described in your work «My Confession». No writings have so deeply touched Mr. Kallenbach as yours, and, as a spur to further effort in living up to the ideals held before the world by you, he has taken the liberty, after consultation with me, of naming his farm after you. Of his generous action in giving the use of the farm for passive resisters, the numbers of «Indian Opinion» I am sending herewith will give you full information. I should not have burdened you with these details but for the fact of your tocing a personal interest in the passive resistance struggle that is going on in the Transvaal.

Часть текста: 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 cosmological and historical affirmations of creations, durability of the world, all the stories of miracles, the theory of the four ages and the immoral and contradictory to the fundamental principle organization of casts. Dear friend and brother, the task which is before you is to state the truth common to all men, which can and must unify the whole humanity in one and the same faith, and one and the same rule of conduct based on it. Humanity must unite in one and the same faith, because the soul of every man — as you know it — only seems to be multiple and different in every individual, but is one in all beings. And therefore, ...
