Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
Yes, I, L. N., I, the writer, I, the beggar, I, the tsar, is a big mistake. This is where all human suffering comes from. There is only One and innumerable manifestations of Him, one of which is what I consider to be my self. And we would do well not to recognize His manifestation within us as our separate "I," but to feel that "I" within us and live through Him. We go through the most various and inevitable bitterness and suffering if we live in the delusion that "I" is our "I". The purpose of life is the fulfillment of the will of one's "I", in other words, the longing for the cessation of separation, the merging with the Whole. And love, this nearness of fusion, is the greatest good of our lives.
