Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
Yes, you are only a worker in God's household, and you know without fail that you have only been sent here to do the work He has given you. There is no point in thinking about whether this condition is good or bad, it is the way it is and it will not change. We can and must think about one thing: how to live better. We can live better, obviously, only if we do the work entrusted to us. You will find that you are doing the work entrusted to you if you do it with the greatest ease, but also with joy. Since we have been surveying the lives of men, the wisest have sought to define this work and have indicated it. All true religions and moral teachings have pointed to it, and it is always the same: union with all and all and participation in union with all and all, love. But if the master will reward us after death for a job well done, we can only guess and believe. But it is all the less necessary to guess the better and more we do our work. Fulfillment bestows good, good in the present, which excludes any interest in the future.
