Часть текста: 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the Indian population, that was unable to stand the heat of the struggle to suffer the hardships of imprisonment, have withdrawn from the Transvaal rather than submit to a law which they have considered degrading.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...

Часть текста: 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: Redfern), 2 (15) августа 1901 г. 131. Перси Редферну (Percy Redfern). 1901 г . Августа 2/15. Я. П . Dear Friend, You were right in guessing that I must be interested in the Tolstoy Society. So I was. But I am sorry that I have enough vanity left to be interested in it. I have always held the opinion and it cannot change — that to be a member of the old Society that was started by God at the beginning of conscious humanity, is more profitable for oneself and for mankind than to be a member of limited societies which we organise for the sake of attaining the end which we are able to conceive. I think the preference we give to our own Societies is due to the fact that the part we play in our own Societies seems to us to be of much greater importance than the one we play in God’s great Society. But this is only an illusion; all the three modes of activity which you mention in your letter will be more surely attained by a man who regards himself a member of God’s great Society, than by a member of Tolstoy’s Society. Such a man who is earnest, as I know you are, will, firstly spread as much as he can the ideas that give him peace of conscience and energy in life without minding whether they are Tolstoy’s or anybody else’s. He will secondly try with all his might to induce people to speak their mind on the most important questions of life. He will, thirdly, try to give every person he comes in contact with, as much joy and happiness as it in his power to do and will also help those who get into difficulties through strictly following the teaching of Christ. A man belonging to God’s great Society, will beside that perform many other useful Christian acts which have neither been...

Часть текста: убийства городовых не поместили; 2) Иван Иванович предлагал им мое изложение Генри Джорджа, не приняли. «У нас есть свои взгляды и сотрудники по земельному вопросу», — ответили ему и из-за этого два раза утруждали его в редакции. Они, то есть «Русские ведомости», недобросовестные, они консерваторы либерализма, как Герцен говорил о консерваторах революционизма. Герценштейн спорит так, как умный Бестужев-Рюмин. Он прочитал в «Times», что я предлагаю разделение земли, и сейчас же высказал свои противные доводы, каждому известные. Что это так, подтвердилось в заглавии статьи в «Courrier Européen», который только что принес Андрей Львович. Там есть статья «Tolstoï et le partage de la terre» — «Великий грех» почти целиком. Л. Н. ( спокойно , грустно ): Вот оно! Как они понимают, вникают в мою статью. То самое, о чем говорю. С 7 до 8 Николаев читал свой ответ Герценштейну. Л. Н. : Герценштейн не знает, что такое рента. Упускает из виду, что с десятины на Кузнецком мосту, стоящей миллион, была бы рента 40 тысяч; когда говорит, что ренты с земли не хватало бы на покрытие государственных нужд, имеет в виду только доход с обрабатываемой земли. — Что за вранье, — сказал далее Л. Н., — что капиталисты будут конкурировать с мелкими хозяевами. Мелкие хозяева всегда...
