Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
Time is only that form in which I have the consciousness of my life, in which I have the joy of making it. My whole life already exists for the source of life, for God. Through me and an infinity of other beings God lives and gives us the joy and good of life to me and to all these beings. What we call freedom of the will, and what freedom really is, is the acceptance or non-acceptance of God in me, so that He can make life through me and live. Not accepting Him in me deprives me of the good of life, but it cannot prevent Him from living, for He lives in an infinity of beings, in a way incomprehensible to me. Furthermore, he also lives in beings who do not consciously accept him within themselves. And, living in them, he achieves his goals. The important thing is that man, each of us, possessing the unconscious good of life, can have part of the greatest conscious good, can be God's tool, uniting directly with Him and making His life and at the same time our life. The rain waters the plains, the forests, the steppes and the grains that already grow there, the trees, the grass receive through the moisture the joy of growth, flowering, fruiting, but the moisture, the rain also acts on the desert land, softening it, preparing it to receive the seeds and their sprouting . The same with people, those who consciously participate in the divine life and those who do not have the consciousness of God, but participate, without knowing it, in His life.
