This only one of the episodes, which became the object of consideration, since Gandhi's itself, following
of ancient tradition, it hid from those surrounding everything which could introduce into the temptation of trickery and charlatanism. “There are things which they are known only to you and your creator. They, of course, cannot be revealed”. Let us note that the Christ, healing blind since birth, does not order that to tell about that happened by that surrounding.
Here we come to the moment most striking - Gandhi's solitude. Men,
which so frequently comes out among the multithousand crowds, people preacher, who travelled all over entire India, going in front of his numerous followers, was lonely. “The one who he wants to be in the friendship with the god, it must remain lonely or make by its friends of all”.
Let us recall, tomcat is lonely Leo Tolstoy in the clear clearing in the environment of its close ones. As was lonely academician Sakharov on the platform before the [ulyulyukayushchim] hall, and let us understand that is the [koe] solitude of Gandhi. That entire India considered victory, by Gandhi perceived as defeat. India rejoiced - by Gandhi it grieved. It fought not with the British dominion, but with the dominion of the spirit of hatred and greediness.
Love for all people, and in particular to weak and to the enemies, this indeed is almost inaccessible for the individual person. But when something is inaccessible for one, can, here and acquires special sense the unity of people for the highest purpose. Paradox in the fact that, after obtaining independence, India did not find spiritual unity around the great idea, it became great, but usual state.
By Gandhi perceived this as “personal defeat”. Specifically, personal: “Only hope for the [strazhdushchego] peace is narrow and direct method nonviolence. Million similar to me can fail in the attempt to prove truth by their own life, but this there will be their personal failure, but not in which case not of this eternal law”.
However, what does prevent the establishment on the Earth of laws the nonviolence and love? They earlier indicated that property. It is said, it corrupts innocent showers, it makes with their greedy and severe. Consequence was named reason. Property itself cannot be either good, or evil. It is possible to use both to the good and to the evil matter. It is possible to construct the art gallery as [Tretyakov], while it is possible, having no property, this gallery to rot and to reconstruct into the ordinary building. Now, when in our country questions of property became so they were important and urgent, it is appropriate to listen to Tolstoy and Gandhi: “[Odolevayte] hatred by love, untruth - by truth, violence - by patience”.
Gandhi it considered that the earth is God, is God, but not state. Property - these are of its kind lease in gentlemen. Payment for the lease - the responsibility before all those being requiring. This, in addition can cause haughty [ukhmylku] in the country, where the centralized charity - occasion for the stealing. All this thus. But if we are distracted from the sad conversion of money in the strange pocket - where, “first, how much excess it earned, that is perhaps appropriate to again listen to Gandhi's warning:
“Not compulsorily man is happy, when he is rich, or unfortunate, when he is poor. We frequently see that the rich people are unhappy, and paupers are happy. Millions of people will be always
poor. Seeing all this, our ancestors broke us from the luxury and the enjoyment… In the society there are no [pariev], be it millionaires or poor. Both those and, etc - the creation of one and the same ailment. Both those and other people”.
I understand, which so is difficult to recognize that no rich and poor, cooperators, bureaucrats, and there are only people. Living, that suffer, that are been in error, regaining vision, blinded by hatred; and reconciliation above the hostility - this is only way to the rescuing both in the terrestrial and in the celestial plan.
Tolstoy and Gandhi did not live until those times, when [nenasilie] will become not only moral religious principle, but singularly accurate tactics of survival in the epoch of nuclear weapon. [A]. [D]. Sakharov lived until these times.
The calls of Tolstoy and Gandhi to love entire living did not find response in the hearts of the majority of people. Well, what zh, could not love - we will “guard environment”, otherwise let us perish in the ecological catastrophe. And here rights proved to be Gandhi, in its time so hunted down by the mockeries of skeptics that even itself called crank.
It was once said, that the cranks decorate life. They do not decorate - they save. Since
the different way of rescuing humanity does not have.
Space law nonviolence, announced in the antiquity by Buddha and Christ, anew opened by Tolstoy for the European intelligentsia at the end of the 19th Century, in effect was again proven by the activity of Gandhi in India of the first half of the 20th century. On the outcome of century this law was again opened and confirmed by academician Sakharov's selflessness. And never under no circumstances humanity will forego the revelation of Gandhi's [Makhatmy].
“Humanity can get rid of the violence only by way nonviolence. Hatred can
to be conquered only by love”.
I would want to slightly paraphrase this truth, after replacing word “humanity” with the words
“our country”.
Here I returned involuntary tribute to the universal error: reduced the revelation of Gandhi to the iridescent prospect for social peace. [Nenasilie] in the society - this is only the consequence of harmony between the man and the peace. [Nenasilie] must be in the soul of man. Only then it makes sense and reality, finds indestructible force. [Nenasilie] not means, but purpose itself.
It is not necessary to think that by Gandhi it was moved only with compassion. Limitless love for entire living - [akhimsa] - this for Gandhi, first of all, way for the spiritual perfection: “Infinite tendency toward the perfection - right each. It is its own reward”.

МАХАТМА ГАНДИ: СИЛА НЕНАСИЛИЯ
«Известия» № 13, 15 января 1991 г.
Такие люди родятся редко. Значение деятельности Ганди выходит за рамки нашего тысячелетия, а воплощение его идей, скорее всего, заполнит тысячелетие грядущее. Это не значит, что Ганди — только для будущего. Ценность его идей все более возрастает, и для нашего времени они еще более актуальны, чем для первой половины XX века, когда он совершал свой жизненный путь.
Когда Ганди призвал индусов к ненасильственному сопротивлению английским колониальным властям, ему и в голову не могло прийти, что кто-то может испытывать при этом враждебность к англичанам. Более того, он неустанно призывал любить тех, кому оказывал сопротивление. Любить и защищать своих политических противников, оставаясь непреклонным в отстаивании своих идей,— значит быть последователем Ганди:
