Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
Man is given only one mission: to increase in spirit. Thinking about the consequences is harmful to the fulfillment of the calling and the unknown thing we are doing, even the consequences we can see. "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God" *. Our condition may be compared to that of his horse, generally to that of any harnessed animal. It is natural for the animal to move, to advance. Likewise for man, in his spiritual perfection. The animal is harnessed and wants it, doesn't want it, if it moves, then what is connected with it moves, although it doesn't know what and how. In the same way, man, through his spiritual growth, draws something else after him. (He sees something. Sometimes he sees how his evolution contributes to the evolution of others.) That is why the comet is not to be feared. Everything done in the spiritual world remains indestructible when material objects are destroyed.
