Holiness [Theme]

- The case is even rarer. Holy atheist. But these are the works of God.

Published in the collection Poetry Day in 1960.

At Bulgakov, Woland fulfills an order, even, rather, a request from Yeshua to take the Master and Margarita to him. Satan in Bulgakov's novel is Ga-Notsri's servant on such commissions, which the Supreme Holiness cannot directly touch.

Holiness is the ability to listen to others' grievances without sharing your own.

The holiness of parents is the best education in the Lord.

He who does not believe in the sincerity of feelings offends holiness.

And those who are holy are those who sleep on it.

Yes,

When an unbeliever steps on holy ground, trouble is inevitable.

The sanctity and purity of a work of art is that it does not serve any external purpose.

What does the future value in the past - faith, loyalty, holiness? No, the spirit of doubt is the main driving force of culture.

No dash question curve.

And remember: a fast movement of the mind is madness, a slow movement is holiness, a frozen mind is a deity.

They carry a vessel with precious liquid, everyone falls down, everyone kisses and adores the vessel that encloses this precious, living moisture, and then suddenly people get up and begin to shout: "Blind! what do you kiss the vessel: the road is only life-giving moisture, it contains, expensive contents, not containing, and you kiss glass, simple glass, adore the vessel and attribute all holiness to glass, so you forget about its precious contents! Idolaters! Throw the vessel, break it, adore only living moisture, not glass!" And then the vessel breaks, and the living moisture, precious contents, spills on the ground and disappears into the ground, of course. The vessel was broken and moisture was lost. But while the moisture has not gone all into the ground, turmoil rises: in order to save something that survived in the broken shards, they begin to shout that a new vessel is needed, they begin to argue how and from what to make it. The argument starts from the beginning; and immediately, from the very first two words, the dispute goes into a letter. They are ready to bow to this letter even more than the previous one, if only to get a new vessel as soon as possible; but the dispute hardens, people break up into hostile piles, and each bunch carries away for itself a few drops of the remaining precious moisture in their special multi-caliber, everywhere typed cups and is no longer communicated with other piles. Each with his cup wants to be saved, and in each individual bunch new disputes begin again. Idolatry is intensified as many times as the shards broke the vessel.
