Leo Tolstoy

“ XII. — The Victory of the Spirit over the Flesh Therefore, for the man who lives not a personal life, but in the common life which is through the will of the Father, there is no evil. The death of the body is union with the Father. ”

“ VIII. — Life not in Time Therefore a man really lives when he thinks only of fulfilling the will of the Father in the present, and leaves all thought of the past and of the future. {Give us now our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us. ”

“ IX. — Temptations The delusions of the individual and temporal life hide from men the true life, which alone is real, in union with the Father. (Lead us not into temptation.)
X. — The Struggle against Temptation Therefore to get rid of evil, we must, every hour of our life, be in unity with the Father. (Lead us not into temptation.)
XI. — The Farewell Discourse Personal life is a deception of the flesh, an evil. True life is the life which is common to all men. ”
