A priest with a clear conscience do what he was doing, because since the childhood was brought up on the fact that this is the only true faith, which he believed all lived before the Holy people and now believe the spiritual and secular authorities. He believed, not that the bread became the body that is good for the soul to utter many words or that he ate really a piece of God, in this impossible to believe - and believed in what we need to believe in this faith. Above all, claimed in his belief that the fulfillment of the requirements of this faith, he is eighteen already received income that helped his family, son in high school, a daughter in religious school. The same faith and deacon and harder than a priest, because I forgot the essence of the dogmas of this faith, and knew only that for the warmth, for remembrance, for hours, for the simple prayer service and a prayer service with the akathist, for everything there is a price, which real Christians readily paid, and, therefore, shouted their "door was pomelos", and sang, and read that it should be, with the same calm confidence in the necessity of this, what people sell firewood, flour, potatoes. The head of the prison and the guards, although I never knew it and have not delved into that, what are the dogmas of this faith, and that meant everything that was done in the Church believed that will certainly have to believe in that faith, because the higher authorities and the Tsar himself believed in her. Besides, though faintly (and themselves could not explain how this is done), they felt that this faith defended their cruel occupations. If it were not for this faith, they are not only more difficult but perhaps not impossible, would be all of his strength to use to torment people, as they now did with a perfectly good conscience. The inspector was such a kind-hearted man that he could not live, if not for support in this belief. And because he stood still, straight, hard bowing, and was baptized, tried to melt when he sang "cherub", but when they began to give communion to children, came forward and personally pulled the boy to receive communion, and held it.

The world is consisted in the fact that the most important benefit of all men, without exception - old, young, schoolboys, generals, educated and uneducated, is sexual intercourse with attractive women, and because men, though pretending to busy with other things, in fact I wish just this one. She is an attractive woman - can satisfy or not to satisfy their desire, and therefore she was an important and necessary person. The whole of her former and present life was a confirmation of the correctness of this view.
In the course of ten years it is everywhere, wherever it was, beginning with Nekhludoff and the old Baltic republics and ending with the cautious guards, saw that all men need it; she could not see and did not notice those men who did not need it. And because the whole world seemed to her Assembly gripped by the lust of people from all sides guarding her and by all possible means - by deception, by violence, by purchase, the trick is trying to master it.
So understood life Maslova, and understanding of life she was not only not last, but a very important person. And Maslova cherished this understanding of life more than anything else, could not treasure it, because modifying such an understanding of life, she lost the importance that this understanding gave her among the people. And in order not to lose the meaning of life, she instinctively clung to the set that looked at life the same way as she.

Exhausted, wet, dirty, she returned home, and from that day began the spiritual revolution, as a result of which she became what she was now. Since that dreadful night, she ceased to believe in goodness. She had believed in goodness and that people believe in him, but this night made sure that no one believes in it and that all that talk about God and goodness, doing this only in order to deceive people. He whom she loved, and who loved her, she knew, - had thrown her away; had abused her love. And he was the best of all the people she knew. Still others were even worse. And all that happened to her, every step of the way confirmed this. His aunts, the pious old ladies, turned her out when she could no longer serve them as before. All the people she met, women tried using it to raise money, men, beginning with old Stanovoy and to prison guards, was staring at her as the object of pleasure. And for anyone, there was nothing else in the world, once a pleasure, it is fun. This had strengthened her old author with whom she was involved in the second year of his life in freedom. He actually told her this - he called it poetry and aesthetics - is all happiness.
Everybody lived for himself only, for his pleasure, and all words about God and righteousness was deception. If, however, when questions were raised about why in the world everything is arranged so badly that all give each other the evil and all the suffering, it was necessary not to think about it. Bored, smoked, or drank, or, best of all, fell in love with a man, and pass.

In favour of marriage in General was, first, that the marriage, in addition to the amenities of the home, eliminating the wrong sexual life, gave the opportunity to moral life; second, and most importantly, what Nekhludoff hoped that the children will give meaning to his now meaningless life. It was for a marriage at all. Against marriage in General was, first, common to all middle-aged bachelors for fear of imprisonment and, second, an unconscious awe before this mysterious creature, a woman.

Some people in most cases use their thoughts as a mental game, treat your mind, as with seal, from which is removed the transfer belt and in their actions obey a stranger thoughts - custom, tradition, law, others, considering their ideas the principal engines of all of its activities almost always listen to the demands of his mind and obey him only occasionally, and then after a critical evaluation, consistent with what is decided by others.

Things can go without love: you can cut down trees, make bricks, forge iron without love; but with people it is impossible to go without love, you cannot handle bees without care. This is the property of bees. If you will treat them without caution, they will hurt himself. It is the same with people. And it cannot be otherwise, because mutual love between people is the fundamental law of human life. True that man cannot bring himself to love as he can to get myself to work, but this does not mean that you can treat people without love, especially if something they require them. Not falling in love with the people, sit still, thought Nekhludoff, turning to himself, - do himself, things than I do, but not people. As it is possible without harm and with benefit only when hungry, and people can apply with benefit and without harm only when one is in love.

With Nekhludoff repeatedly happened that he called a "cleansing of the soul." Cleansing of the soul called it a mental condition in which he suddenly, after a sometimes long period of time, conscious of slowing and sometimes stopping the inner life, began to clean up all the litter, which accumulated in his soul, was the reason for the stop.

One of the most common and widespread superstition that every person has some their specific properties, that is man good, evil, smart, stupid, energetic, apathetic, etc. People aren't. We can say about the man that he is more often kind than angry, more often intelligent than stupid, more often energetic than apathetic, and Vice versa; but it will be wrong if we say about a man that he is kind or intelligent, and about another that he is wicked or stupid. And yet we always classify people. This is not true.
