Часть текста: 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 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...

Часть текста: 1895 г. Июля 26. Я. П. Dear Sir. You write that you wish me encouragement in my work. There is no more joyful encouragement for me, than the receiving of such letters as yours. As for your questions, I will very gladly try to answer them as well as I can. 1) I have got nothing against the usual assembling of people confessing the Christian doctrine on Sundays in halls that they call churches. But I think, that these assemblies ought not to be devoted, as they usually are, to public and uniform public prayers, firstly, because the repetition on Sunday in the same words is perfectly useless, as it very soon becomes a mechanical procedure; secondly and chiefly, because in the Gospels this error is plainly pointed out and it is there definitely said (Math. VI), that one should not pray in public places, 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...

Часть текста: Indian population of nearly 13,000. These Indians have for several years laboured under 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 withdrawn from the Transvaal rather than submit to a law which they have considered degrading. Of the other half, nearly 2,500 have for conscience’sake allowed themselves to be imprisoned — some as many as five time. The imprisonments have varied from four days to six months; in the majority of cases with hard labour. Many have been financially ruined. At present there are over 100 passive resisters in the Transvaal gaols. Some of these have been very poor men, earning their livelihood from day to day. The result has been that their wives and children have had to be supported out of public contributions, also largely raised from passive resisters. This has puff a severe strain upon British Indians, but in my opinion they have risen to the occasion. The struggle still...

Часть текста: 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. I remain your faithful servant M. K. Gandhi Count Leo Tolstoy Yasnaya Polyana Перевод: Иоганнесбург, 15 августа 1910 Милостивый государь, Очень благодарен вам за ваше ободряющее и сердечное письмо от 8 мая с. г. Я весьма ценю ваш общий отзыв о моей брошюре «Indian Home Rule» и буду ожидать, что, когда у вас найдется время, вы выскажетесь о моей работе более подробно, как вы были столь добры обещать мне это сделать в своем письме. Калленбах пишет вам о «Толстовской ферме». С Калленбахом мы друзья уже многие годы. Могу сказать о нем, что он также прошел через большинство тех испытаний, которые вы так образно описываете в вашей книге «Исповедь». Никакие писания не производили на Калленбаха такого сильного впечатления, как ваши, и, в виде стимула для дальнейшего усилия к достижению тех идеалов, которые вы возвещаете миру, он позволил себе, посоветовавшись со мною, назвать свою ферму в честь вас. Из прилагаемых номеров «Indian Opinion» вы более подробно узнаете о его благородном поступке передачи фермы непротивленцам. Я не стал бы вас утруждать всеми этими деталями, если бы вы не проявили личного интереса к движению пассивного...

Часть текста: that a great part of the evil of the world is due to our wishing to see the realization 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...

Часть текста: 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 serpents, & harmless as doves». Truth in order to influence men should be complete, not clipped, not adapted to the life of men of the world. And this is always being forgotten by mankind. And owing to this the most powerful efforts have been and are yet lost in vain. Precious is not that community which we may organize at Toula or ...

I got your letter only yesterday and am afraid that you will not receive my reply before you start from America. We are heartily thankful to your people for their offerning and for the sentiments, which prompted them to make it. I hope to see you in Russia and then I will be very happy to give all the informations I am able to give about the places where the flour should be directed and where it should be used to the best advantage of the famine stricken population. With kind regards I am, dear Sir, yours truly Leo Tolstoy. Милостивый государь! Я получил ваше письмо только вчера и боюсь, что вы не успеете получить моего ответа до вашего отъезда из Америки. Мы сердечно благодарны вашему народу за его пожертвования и за чувства побудившие его к этому. Надеюсь увидеть вас в России и тогда буду очень рад дать все справки, какие смогу, о местах, куда следует направлять муку для ее наилучшего использования в интересах голодающего населения. С сердечным уважением остаюсь, милостивый государь,...

So he arranged a hostelry with comfortable rooms, good stoves, fuel, lighting, store-rooms full of every kind of provisions, vegetables and all sorts of refreshment, also beds, every kind of clothes, underwear and boots in such quantities as to suffice for a great quantity of people. Having arranged all this the benefactor wrate very distingly a direction how to use his hostelry and all the thing that where gathered in it. This decretion the benefactor nailed on the entrance door so that every man should see it. In the direction it was writen that every man who entered the hostelry might stay in it as long as it was good for him and might eate and drink at his heart content and use all what was gathered in the inn clothes or boots or kind of provisions. The sole condition which was required from the travelers was that they schould take only what they needed presently and that they should help each other and leaving the hostelry made things tidy as before their arrival. Having arranged all this and written and hanged on the door this direction the benefactor himself retired. But it came to pass that when people came ent the hostelry they ded not look at the direction and began to use all the goods that where at their desposal without thinking of other people and triing to get all the thinges allthough not needed all everybody for himself.[26] They took began to quarrel...

Часть текста: (А. С. Fifield). Неотправленное . 1900 г. Ноября 4/16. Москва. Dear Mr Fifield, I have received the first issues of the books, booklets and leaflets containing my writings, as well as the statements concerning the object and plan of the Free Age Press. Those publications are very neat, attractive and — which seems most important for me — very cheap and therefore quite accessible to the great public of the English speaking working people. I thank you heartily for this as well as all the participators of this work. If I write something new which I should think worthy to be published by the Free Age Press, I will without delay forward it to you. Yours truly, Leo Tolstoy. Moscow, 4/17 November 1900. Дорогой г. Файфильд, Я получил первые выпуски книг, брошюр и листовок, содержащие мои произведения, а также проспекты с изложением цели и плана «Free Age Press». Ваши издания очень тщательны, привлекательны и, чтò мне кажется особенно важным, весьма дешевы, вследствие чего вполне доступны широкой публике — трудовому народу Англии. От всего сердца благодарю вас и всех участников этого дела. Если напишу что-нибудь, чтò найду стоящим издания в «Free Age Press», то немедленно пришлю вам. Уважающий вас Лев Толстой. Москва, 4/17 Ноября 1900. Черновое. Dear Mister Fifield, I ...

Then he will not be afraid to be too successful. 2) That I hope I will send for the Crank something which should be worthy of it and 3) that I will be very glad to know his questions and answer them if I feel myself able to do it. With best wishes for you and your husband, your friend L. Tolstoy. 2/15 February 1907. Дорогая г-жа Дэниель, Я не ответил на ваше письмо раньше, так как был болен и до сих пор не вполне здоров. Я рад слышать, что вы намерены работать над вашей статьей о земле. От этого она только выиграет, хотя она очень хороша и так. 1 Я также очень одобряю вашу мысль о связи между тремя принципами: бедностью, воздержанием (как степенью целомудрия) и следованием закону природы. Я думаю и надеюсь, что вы изложите эти идеи так же сильно, как все статьи Ворланда, и так же просто и кратко, как, по вашим словам, вы хотите это сделать. Единственный совет, который я желал бы вам дать, это избегать, насколько возможно, полемики. Я получил также письмо от вашего мужа. 2 Надеюсь, он извинит меня, что не пишу ему отдельно, а прошу вас быть настолько любезной и передать ему: 1) Что хотя я очень люблю «The Crank», но я совершенно согласен с ним, что было бы очень хорошо не только совместить садоводство и сельское хозяйство с писательством, но ручной труд доложить в основу жизни, а издательскую работу считать дополнением к нему. Тогда мужу вашему не придется бояться...
