Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
Help me, Lord, to free myself through effort, thoughts and deeds from these sins. Help me to despise my carnal "I", to forget about it, help me to restrain myself in deed and in speech from everything that is not guided by love and that takes me away from liberation. Help me to be aware of my life in freedom from the sins of the flesh through love. I remember, I want to always remember, that my life, my true life, is freedom from bodily sins in the present, that I can live this life, that its manifestation through love gives me steadfast good that cannot be destroyed either by suffering or of death. Help me, Lord, to remember that what we call life is only the gradual release of the soul from the body, that if this body and the gradual release from it did not exist, there would be neither what we call life nor good which this gradual release gives us. Help me, help me, help me to walk steadfastly on the path of this liberation and to remember that only in it do I find good and life.
