Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
The secret of our life, its essence, lies in the transference of self-consciousness as a separate being to self-consciousness as the Whole, indivisible, unique, free, almighty being, God. Life seems to us a gradual release of the divine consciousness within us. Life is this, only this. Those who still believe in the old concept of God can say that God gave people the good of knowing Him within themselves. But that's an arbitrary assumption. There is and it is only right that man's life is liberation in itself (of the immaterial, immovable, nonspatial and timeless principle) from the state of limitation and its ineluctable conditions. The boundary conditions are matter in space and motion in time.
