Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
We are workers in the common, universal work of God. The ways by which this work is done are not accessible to us, just as workers cannot be accessible to all the tasks of the master (the example, of course, is far from complete, comparing the universal, eternal movement with the particular, temporary work). Any attempt by the worker to guess what the master's work consists of is a waste of effort. Making assumptions results in distraction and slows down the completion of the work. And thus the worker will be deprived of the greatest good, the consciousness of the certainty that he is doing what the master wants of him. This consciousness is given to man only in one way. If he deviates from the master's will, the worker deprives himself of good, if he fulfills it, he receives this good.
