A Letter to a Hindu

by Leo Tolstoy

The punishment of evil doers consists in making them feel ashamed of themselves by doing them a great kindness.

Arise to your true Being, and then you will have nothing to fear.

Love is the only way to rescue humanity from all ills, and in it you too have the only method of saving your people from enslavement.

Pitiful and foolish is the man who seeks what he already has, and does not know that he has it.
