“The book “reign [Bozhie] inside us” literally took me, left the indelible
track in my soul. I increasingly more deeply understood the limitless possibilities of universal love”.
It will not by exaggeration say that Gandhi succeeded in carrying out in India that which to Tolstoy did not have luck to personify in Russia: to avoid bloodshed and via nonviolent fight to lead its people to the freedom. True, one should remember that neither Tolstoy nor Gandhi considered political freedom the final goal.
The moral purification of man, return to the most great moral values of world religions - was such their dream. It yet was not carried out. But there is no doubt whatever, that on the outcome of century we approached the revelations of Leo Tolstoy and Gandhi. In Russia the sudden moral transformation of academician Sakharov became this tangible bridge above the abyss. Similar to Gandhi, it did not begin to conceal from those surrounding the truth, which to it was opened, and it proved to be in the reference.
As always, [nenasilie] of authority they answer violence. By Gandhi it repeatedly occurred in the prison.
On the law court it recalled the words of the great American humanist of Thor: “It cannot be been by honest person without having proven to be in the prison”. On the outcome of century academician [A]. [D]. Sakharov will repeat the same words. He resisted totalitarianism by Gandhi's method. By Gandhi it conquered - India became independent variable.
Sakharov conquered in 1985 - in the Soviet Union the Stalinism was exposed and condemned at the state level. But victory - this always and defeat. In independent India began the slaughter between the Moslems and [induistami].
Reconstruction in the Soviet Union is darkened by highland Karabakh, [Sumgaitom], by Fergana,
by Tbilisi slaughter and now by Vilnius. Sakharov did not maintain moral flour and prematurely he left from the life.
By Gandhi with the bitterness it exclaimed: “Earlier I prayed god to give to me 90 years of life, now I to mole about death”.
[Vosmidesyatishestiletniy] majestic old man, robed in the homespun clothing, [s]
by staff it goes into the places of desperate [mezhreligioznoy] struggle. It reads out at the meetings fragments from the bible, the Koran and Veda, that call people to the peace into the name of the god: “I assume that the bible, the Koran, [Zend]- avesta are charismatic just as Veda”.
During the meeting of reconciliation Gandhi approaches religious fanatic- sectarian and he shoots at the support. By Gandhi it died in the hospital with the words: “[Khe] of frames”, in Russian “against [Bog]1”. Gandhi's death the same is one-piece as its life. “The skill of dying emerges as natural consequence of the skill of living… The skill of dying to lies in the fact that meet death is joyful during the performance of its debt. The unwillingness to cause evil to its enemy or to deprive his life is insufficient. You must protect its even at a cost of lives”.
Gandhi it did not want any material tracks of its stay on the earth to remain and it bequeathed to scatter its dust above the ganges. But they carried out will not completely. They nevertheless left and buried the part of the ashes so that it would be where bow to the great person. On the rock plate the last words of Gandhi: “[Khe] of frames”. As one would expect, Gandhi's grave became the place of religious worship.
In many remarkable works about Gandhi, that emerge in our country, there is one and the same deficiency: By Gandhi it appears as public figure among the populous assemblages. Meanwhile the deepest revelations of Gandhi were obtained in the solitude, conversing with the god. Not per minute merciful calmness, but in the deepest desperation of Gandhi frequently found a way out from the most insoluble contradictions:
“When any hope is lost, when no one helps nor comforts, I revealing,
that from somewhere appears the aid. Entreaty, divine service, prayer not religious prejudices. This of action are more real than food, drink, seat or walking. Without the exaggeration it is possible to say that only they are real, and everything else is unreal”.
Do know we, and atheists, and believers, the force of this deep spiritual contact with the highest? Secret of the spiritual life of man inaccessible. Here the reign of religion and skill.
“I do not desire so that my house would be enclosed from all sides by wall and so that my windows would be
it is tightly boarded up. I want so that the culture of all, countries freely would penetrate my house.
But I do not desire so that me they would bring down from the feet”.
Gandhi never it asserted that the truth was opened to it in full weight. He perfectly well understood the limitedness of human judgments about the god. “Those weak, instantaneous flashes of the truths, which I could see, hardly they will express the idea of the uncommon radiance of truth, into millions of times of of stronger than the radiance of the sun, which we each day see. The fact that I understood, is only weak reflection of this powerful radiance”.
Gandhi's exclamation: “I want to see god face to face” - the daring impulse of human spirit, not clouded by self-confidence.
By Gandhi it testified that with the life with it there were numerous phenomena, which are not entered in the framework of ordinary experience and are called word “miracle”. One of such miracles occurred at the end Gandhi's life.
When disorders began and the hostility between [induistami] and Moslems, to Gandhi it said,
that if does not cease the slaughter, there will be terrible earthquake. Unfortunately, disorders did not cease, and earthquake occurred. About this episode testifies Nehru's [Dzhavakharlal] in his book “discovery of India”. Nehru considers this case simple agreement; however, recently in the press began to appear completely serious communications, that the aggressive pulses, which go from the man, can cause deviations in the geomagnetic sphere by their emissions.
This only one of the episodes, which became the object of consideration, since Gandhi's itself, following
of ancient tradition, it hid from those surrounding everything which could introduce into the temptation of trickery and charlatanism. “There are things which they are known only to you and your creator. They, of course, cannot be revealed”. Let us note that the Christ, healing blind since birth, does not order that to tell about that happened by that surrounding.
Here we come to the moment most striking - Gandhi's solitude. Men,
which so frequently comes out among the multithousand crowds, people preacher, who travelled all over entire India, going in front of his numerous followers, was lonely. “The one who he wants to be in the friendship with the god, it must remain lonely or make by its friends of all”.
Let us recall, tomcat is lonely Leo Tolstoy in the clear clearing in the environment of its close ones. As was lonely academician Sakharov on the platform before the [ulyulyukayushchim] hall, and let us understand that is the [koe] solitude of Gandhi. That entire India considered victory, by Gandhi perceived as defeat. India rejoiced - by Gandhi it grieved. It fought not with the British dominion, but with the dominion of the spirit of hatred and greediness.
Love for all people, and in particular to weak and to the enemies, this indeed is almost inaccessible for the individual person. But when something is inaccessible for one, can, here and acquires special sense the unity of people for the highest purpose. Paradox in the fact that, after obtaining independence, India did not find spiritual unity around the great idea, it became great, but usual state.
By Gandhi perceived this as “personal defeat”. Specifically, personaclass="underline" “Only hope for the [strazhdushchego] peace is narrow and direct method nonviolence. Million similar to me can fail in the attempt to prove truth by their own life, but this there will be their personal failure, but not in which case not of this eternal law”.
