Author of quotes: Ivan Ilyin

In other words: who truly doubts the existence of God, he is God in the very act of his doubt. For truly religious doubt is the ongoing experience of the religious evidence.

Doubt separates religious "childhood" and maybe religious "boyhood" from Mature pores from the faith, courageous, strong and final. It is not "temptation," and "the crucible"; not "the end of religion", and upgrading and deepening. "Shy away" from him so deliberately prolong his child's helplessness, i.e., to diminish the power of faith and the victory of religion. The same question, such as "nature": the persecuted in the door, flies out the window. In order to overcome it, need it "to go"; do not break it saves the vulnerable places of his faith, that can be opened in the hardest hour of your life and lead him to spiritual collapse. And while he does not overcome them, he can't help the other in overcoming them; for to teach and lead in matters of faith can only master the true, religious-subject, creative doubt.

And that's when the man begins his experience of the struggle for religious identity, it is the more hope of success than more intensively than deeper than genuine and sincere his question. Then it becomes a call, a search, a request, a prayer. He "requests" and he is "given"; it "seeks" and "finds"; he "knocks" and to him "be opened" (Matt. 7:7-8). Real religious doubt is, above all, an intense and genuine desire to see God. Soul, so doubters can be neither indifferent nor passive: it is the living question its focus on the Subject and focus in His direction; this is the kind of subject will, it is intentional as religious experience. This doubt actively, aggressively; it is in anxiety and tension; it is important, it needs to be resolved in a positive or in a negative way.

Doubt meaningful, informative and productive may be the only one who's connected living experience with the subject of his doubt.

Every hater cause other hatred and focus it on yourself. Every traitor will be betrayed by himself. Every robber is himself robbed and killed. That is the law of self-destruction of evil.

Envy and hatred you can not build anything: no state, no culture, no economy. Only love is creative: the love of God, love of country, confidence in the ruler, mutual trust, respect and fraternity of the citizens, compassion for the weak, universal sverigesvej solidarity.

Revolution is not salvation, but the beginning of death. She raznosyat people; it teaches people to disregard the law and to the law. People do not respect law and law will lose their rights and be enslaved.

Nature never creates a noise. It teaches man the greatness in silence. Silent the sun. Silently unfolds a starry sky. Few and rare we hear any of the "core of the earth." Graciously and blissfully rest of Regal mountain. Even the sea is capable of "deep silence". The great in nature that defines and determines as such our fate, is silent...

What is beauty where it begins? I dare to claim that every woman can be beautiful and can become beautiful; if she can, then it's already asleep beauty as a hidden predisposition, or the power and attraction. Is this prejudice, that beauty always appears open, positive and perfect. On the contrary - it comes and disappears, Matures and becomes distorted; and the Belle moments is ugly.

However, love is not love and not happiness; it is rather an intoxication and spasm, often sickness, sometimes a disaster.

To forgive means to repay it saturaday force and not to let the stream of hate and evil, but this does not mean to defeat the power of evil and anger in the abuser. After forgiveness remains an open and unresolved question: what to do with the offended, not with the person who hurt me and who is "want" me to revenge or retribution, but as an unrepentant and neispravimym a rapist? Because being the villain is the problem is not one victim and not only in the measure in which he has failed to forgive; it is a problem for all, hence, for the victim, but not both for the victim and neprosteno, and as a member of that social cohesion, which is intended to public vzaimoponimaniyu and organized the fight against evil.

For mind without love and without conscience, rooted in the living contemplation of God, there is a kind of human stupidity and callousness, and the stupid callousness've never made people happy.
