Lecturer Zeitlin shames me:
- a cultured person at least once a week should give a lecture in the National University.
- Sir, - I answered - when you find time for it, who's cooking your food?
- a lesson I get lunch.
- but I can not give lessons, I cook myself dinner himself, and stab the wood, and water wear, and the room tidy, and trade rags.
- Poor!
- And I do not see anything wrong, I would be really cool if I have two things interfered with - and as defined himself on pustynnozhitelstvo and live in this not bad: outstripping need, warn their initiative, and it becomes as if I was free.
Hunger and Fasting. Not that the food that is not fat enough, I reached the point that my whole being bodily and spiritual now depends on the fat: eat butter or milk and work, no - I wander, swing, as epic in the wind. And without thinking, I'd slap someone who would tell me that does not live by bread alone man. " Yes, I understand that it is possible to live and the spirit, if the initiative this spiritual hunger of the enterprise came from me: I want to starve, and I want and naemsya, but hunger so differs from the post that it comes from outside, not from the soul, but as a cold from some of the radiation heat of the earth into interplanetary space. And here is some kind of radiation that creates the robber left, who all made fun of of Christ and told him: "If you are the Son of God, save yourself and us."
I can not say to the mountain: "Go!" I do not believe that it will go, I - left the robber and my boy also left, he could not accept that Christ could be born of the Holy Spirit, and no one around does not believe in it. "Fairy Tale" - says the boy 13 years old. So everywhere we see the triumph of the robber left.
What does it mean to live by their labor? Means - to live with their ingenuity. But in the socialist sense to live by their labor it - something separate from ourselves to God a sacrifice of economic necessity. What we are living our work, we have overcome in their work and make it their own, such as stab wood with the ingenuity and perehitryayu boredom, there in the common labor is called stealth, I do not so their labor, and public (foreign). Their work it can done only if the public will own. Thus, one should begin not with forced labor, and with having to make their society when the society will have their own, then work will be easy.
And you can do and do not love your neighbor as yourself, to make a public case, we can do it out of personal gain; personal gain (ingenuity) dwell on the earth the socialist system.
Mystique - a presentiment of rationalism - the implementation of ...
I was hungry on the street, dressed in a short Nagol'na peasant coat, clad in boots, seemed to me that the mind and world, I was an ordinary miserable failure of this new and suddenly I was stopped by someone and said: "The gentleman!" I looked around. Walked behind our beggar Tishka with a pinecone, stretching out his hand, said:
- gentleman, give milostynku.
- You're blind? - I asked. He replied:
- No, I'm not blind, I see that you - sir, you go wrong as they are, you go and in my mind holding something, but I can see.
I touched hand of his bag, it was bread - lots of bread. (You - a gentleman, a beggar comes, it does not hold a personal, and it is immediately obvious, the poor, and that gentleman, even though you are dressed like a beggar.)
hungry and fasting. It's one thing to choose a most miserable career, another thing you will servitude to the poor, these two creatures are similar in appearance, from the inside opposites, like Christ and a robber, crucified to the left. http://banytt.livejournal.com
