Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
I felt to-day, as I was painfully conscious of my weakness, the wretchedness of caring for worldly glory. I strongly felt the importance of my previous work, in its good minutes. I had something to go back to. Yes, that is true prayer. To trace, to blaze a path of the best thoughts, of all that is best, highest, accessible to me in the best minutes of understanding life! Then, in the less good minutes, to take shelter under this understanding. Today I understood this with all clarity. I fell very low and saved myself with great joy through the previous, already known, free, happy state of communication only with Him, through the consciousness that I am one of His members. O You who helped me to escape, help me to remain in this condition!
