Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
The knowledge of God can be threefold: a) through faith, b) through reason and c) through love. I can believe that God is what I have been told about Him. I can arrive by reasoning at the recognition of the beginning of all that is, at the existence of something indestructible outside of time and space, at the necessity of accepting either boundedness or unboundedness, and here lies the mark of unreality. I don't express myself well, I want to say that everything that is corporeal, occupies a limited space in infinite space and is produced in infinite time in both directions, all this does not exist in reality. There is that which is outside of time and space. And the essence is only what we call God. We can come to accept the existence of God by having the consciousness of something outside of space and time, that is knowing Him through union with Him expressed in love.
