Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
I believe that you are only You, and You are in me and in everything that lives. I feel separated from You, but my life is in You, and therefore I seek to unite with You through love and with all that is alive, with all that is from You. I want this union and I fight with everything that separates me from You: with the desires of the body, with laziness, with debauchery and especially with the lack of kindness. I struggle with the temptations of pride, arrogance, love of silver, revenge; I fight the prejudices of the desire for power, the state, theology, science. I fight by striving in deed and thought, by self-denial, humility, sincerity and self-restraint in deed and word. I know that life is only love now and that for the spiritual life there is no suffering, no death, there is only what the soul desires, only the good. Thank you.
