You have in your hands one of those rare books that carry a direct
message from the writer to the reader. And the message carries a charge,
emotional and moral, that can in some people ignite an explosion of the
heart and mind. It did so in one very notable case when an English
translation was sent to a Hindu barrister in Natal, South Africa, in 1894.
(It is worth noting that, the year before, the book had been suppressed on
publication in its native country as being dangerous to church and state
but had been translated immediately into English, with two versions
appearing in 1894.) |

That barrister was, of course,
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, later the
Mahatma of India, but at that moment only a timid young man, ill at ease
in his profession and ineffective in the rest of his life. Reading The
Kingdom of God Is within You "overwhelmed'' him, he said in his
autobiography. "Before the independent thinking, profound morality, and
the truthfulness of this book, all the books given me by Mr. Coates seemed
to pale into insignificance."' (Mr. Coates was a Quaker who lent him
books in an effort to convert him to Christianity.) In Gandhi the book
certainly ignited an explosion; and its impact on others around him spread
like the bombardment of particles in an atomic pile, so that before the
chain reaction was over, the British Empire was blown open and India was a
free country, under the aegis of nonviolence. |

However, for most readers of 1984, and for casual readers of any date,
the experience is not likely to be so vivid. At least if you begin with
page one and read conscientiously every word, you may soon be yawning and
riffling the pages to come. This is a book that should be begun at the
end. The Conclusion is the chapter to read first; there you will find
Tolstoy's writing at its most brilliant, and there you will feel
yourself caught up in his passion of indignation against the empire under
which he lived (empire meaning not overseas posses¡©sions but the imperial
powers and splendors of the state), and it is likely that you will begin
to see the empire around you in the same light. That is how Gandhi began
to see the British Empire around him in South Africa and later in India.
In 1894, Gandhi still believed in the British Empire, which means he
believed it was not an empire in the Russian sense, but Tolstoy gradually
changed his mind, as he may change yours. |

The beginning is slow because Tolstoy is developing an elaborate
argument that was relevant for serious Christians of a hundred years ago,
but is not so relevant now. Thus, Chapter 1 is a compilation of earlier
Christian declarations of faith in nonviolence, and Chapter 2 is a polemic
against the Russian Orthodox Church's interpretations of the Christian
gospel. Many of the other chapters repeat the pattern of the first two. |

This arrangement follows from the book's function as one in a series
of arguments that Tolstoy directed against the Christian ortho¡©doxy of
his time and place. In order to break down people's religious
complacency, he had to assemble as many witnesses on his side as possible,
and had to refer back to what he had said before, and what his opponents
had replied to him, and why that was no reply, and so on. This reasoning
is a bit hard to follow at first, and readers must not let it distract
them from following the important argument, which connects Tolstoy's
analysis with the history of our own times as well as of his. Tolstoy
writes with great clarity, with a kind of passion for logic and exactitude
that lights up all the twists and turns of his discourse. It is not hard
to follow, once you understand the rules. Sometimes it may be hard to
like-to follow sympathetically, as it were-just because of this
geometrical exactitude. I call it geometrical because of Tolstoy's
fondness for mathematical metaphors, which express his ambition to make
his argument as clear and completely demon¡©strable as Euclid's. |

This mental cast can be disconcerting for literary readers, if they
come to this book for more of that melting, swimming feeling of
self-expansion, that rapture of identification with moonlight and lilacs,
nightingales and spring rain, of which Tolstoy is so prodigal in his
fiction. Such readers are going to be disappointed. Geometry is angular
and meticulous, and so is Tolstoy's style in much of this book.
Obviously he was aiming here at a different kind of seriousness; less
seductive, suggestive, imaginative, and more se¡©vere, steel-hard, and
even-toned. Probably he was deliberately trying to exorcise the magic of
that "creative writing" with which he had held himself-and
us-spellbound before. Men of religion have to be on guard not to seem men
of sentiment. Gandhi and Vinoba Bhave, another Indian religious figure,
are equally fond of mathema¡©tical and geometrical metaphors. |

Once you have adjusted your expectations in those two ways, you should
find the arguments and examples interesting in their own right. An
American reader will be especially interested in the prece¡©dents that
Tolstoy found in William Lloyd Garrison and Adin Ballou; forty or fifty
years earlier, they had arrived at the same thinking and had acted on it.
It may be worth adding a footnote to Ballou, whose work is discussed in
the first chapter. Among the nonviolent Chris¡©tian community he
established at Hopedale, Massachusetts, were two brothers named Draper who
were mechanically gifted. They improved upon a piece of machinery vital to
textile spinning, and wishing to exploit their invention commercially,
they withdrew from the community. One of their sons served in the Northern
army during the Civil War and rose to the rank of general; having entered
politics, he was made ambassador to Italy, where his daughter mar¡©ried an
impoverished Italian prince. Such was the speed at which- in America-the
religious idyll of a Christian commune deteriorated into something like an
international romance by Henry James. In Russia, however, the seed of
nonviolent thought had other effects. It took root in Tolstoy's mind,
and spread from him to South Africa and India. |

But that is something of an excursus. The essential context for this
book is, of course, the story of Tolstoy's life. He grew up in an
aristocratic and cultured family and in financial circumstances that
combined some grandeur with much insecurity. It seems fair to say,
summarily, that in his youth he knew Christianity as a religion for women,
children, and servants, not for men. This does not mean that religion made
no impact on him then; he responded to many aspects, some merely
picturesque, some genuinely impressive. The road that ran along the
Tolstoy estate was walked by many poor pilgrims, on their way to holy
shrines; he knew of remarkable feats of asceticism, in the tradition of
the Russian Orthodox Church; and members of his family, including his
sister Masha, ended their days in monasteries. But, despite all that, the
ethic and life-style of the men of his own caste were worldly, sensual,
pagan, chivalric, military-in short, quite un-Christian. Tolstoy was born,
as he often said, into the military caste in Russia. That caste believed
no more in the virtue of chastity than it did in the meekness and
nonviolence recommended in the Sermon on the Mount. His brothers inducted
him, in early adolescence, into sex with a prostitute, and he began a
career of quite animal sexuality, feeling scarcely any moral conflict or
any sense of sin because Christianity had never been for him an
articulated ethical code, as it was, for instance, for George Eliot.
(Tolstoy later re¡©marked on that difference and on the advantage of
growing up in a Protestant culture.) |

Changing his sexual behavior after marriage, he in many ways shaped his
life to conform to the ideal described by George Eliot and other English
novelists-the ideal of the couple who marry for love and live in the
country and devote themselves to their children and the pleasures of art.
During the first two decades of his marriage he wrote War and Peace
and Anna Karenina and lived by the religion of nature and art. A
nature worshiper, he celebrated the flowing rivers, the melting ice, the
singing birds, the mowing of the peasants. The apple orchards of Yasnaya
Polyana were famous. His wife bore him thirteen children, and he emulated
that creativity in the melting, protean, musical prose of his novels. |

But he had remained very interested in religion, and had never lost his
feeling for Christianity. Stimulated by conversation with his son's
tutor, Alekseiev, who had been a revolutionary, he appealed in 1881 to
Tsar Alexander III to pardon the assassins of his father, on Christian
principles; and from that time on he was committed to nonviolence and
religious radicalism. In the same year the Tolstoy family moved from their
country home to Moscow, and there Tol¡©stoy witnessed the misery of that
city's proletariat. He was now awakened in the morning by factory sirens
instead of birdsong, and he took part in the city census to see for
himself how the poor lived. In 1886 he wrote What Then Must We Do?,
and along with that attack on the civic conscience he delivered another on
the religious teaching of the Church. |

Already in 1881-82 he was writing his Critique of Dogmatic Theology,
in which he rendered judgment on a series of the Church's most important
documents. He judged that these works were more blasphemous and faithless
than those of Voltaire and Hume because they adapted the message of the
gospel to quite opposite meanings, and perverted it morally and
intellectually. Dogmata, such as that God is both three and one, meant
nothing to Tolstoy. He dismissed the sacraments as "savage customs,"
suited to an earlier phase of civilization. Reading these books of
theology would have made him an atheist, had he not independently found
his way to a faith in Christ's message. "I had intended to go to God
and I found my way into a stinking bog, which evokes in me only those
feelings of which I am most afraid; disgust, malice, and indignation."*2
Church Christ¡©ianity stirred Tolstoy's most sardonic self to life. |

As for his political views, in a short pamphlet of 1882, entitled
"Church and State," he declared the phrase Christian State to
be as paradoxical and nonsensical as hot ice, either such a state
is no state, or, more likely, its Christianity is no Christianity. Kings,
after all, are simply anointed robbers. Christ's teaching is hostile to
the state, and Christians, though not called on to destroy it, are called
on not to support it or to comply with many of its demands. |

In 1884 he finished What I Believe[My Religion],
in which he described himself as having behind him five mature years of
faith in Christ and thirty-five years of nihilism, or faith in nothing. He
presented himself to the reader as one of the robbers at Christ's
crucifixion, come down from the cross to preach. His conversion had
occurred when he realized that "Resist not evil" (Matt. 5:39) meant
what it said. This was a revelation to one who had always been taught that
Christ's laws were not practical, and so must be interpreted-in effect,
circumvented. What he had been taught as practical was quite opposite in
tendency: "I was taught to judge and punish. Then I was taught to make
war; that is, to resist evil men with murder, and the military caste, of
which I was a member, was called the Christ-loving military, and their
activity was sanctified by a Christian blessing."3 He had been involved
in this contradiction very early because he was born noble, but nowadays,
when military service and jury duty have become universal, all men are
involved in it. |

Despite these blistering attacks on church and state
(accompanied
by others on high culture and marriage), Tolstoy
continued to live at his ancestral home, to run his baronial estate, and
to use the title Count Tolstoy. Renowned as Russia's greatest novelist,
he was the father of a large family, the husband of a fashionable woman,
and the host of a brilliant household. Why he felt he could not leave and
take up a life in accord with his beliefs is too long a story to begin
here. Suffice it to say that his consciousness of being in effect a
hypocrite added to his pain. |

Let us return to that exemplary reader of Tolstoy,
Gandhi. Although The
Kingdom of God overwhelmed him in 1894, it was not until 1906 that
Gandhi's behavior showed itself indubitably in¡©fluenced by what he had
read. In 1894 Gandhi was still largely in thrall to the British Empire and
its constitutional politics and its promise of freedom through
parliamentary democracy. Tolstoy's truths were profound but
impracticable because they clashed with those other truths. But in 1906
Gandhi launched a campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience, or satyagraha,
and was for the first time sent to jail. Then he reread The
Kingdom of God Is within You, and other Tolstoy stories and pamphlets,
even translating one into his native language. We hear of him carrying
these volumes from one jail to another. This happened in 1906 partly
because only in jail did Gandhi have time to read but also because only
now was he begin¡©ning to live out the radical truths he took from
Tolstoy. |

After that, Gandhi's eyes were on Tolstoy, across those thousands of
miles of land and ocean, up to the old man's death in 1910. In 1908,
when Tolstoy became eighty, Gandhi sent a message of con¡©gratulation. In
1909, he read Tolstoy's Letter to a Hindu, in which the author
warned Indian revolutionaries against adopting the West's terrorist
methods of agitation, and urged them to stay loyal to their native
traditions of nonviolence. In 1910, launching another satyagraha
campaign, Gandhi gave the name Tolstoy Farm to the place where the
families of satyagrahis could lodge (while husbands or fathers were
in jail) and where he led them in simplifying their lives-in practicing
vegetarianism, nature cure, and all the other elements in the ideology of
nonviolence. |

In the last months of Tolstoy's life, Gandhi sent him a copy of his
manifesto, Indian Home Rule (written under the influence of
Tolstoy's ideas) and the first biography of Gandhi, written by a Baptist
minister in South Africa. So that, unforeseeably, Tolstoy at the last
moment learned to know this infinitely remote and different man who was to
become his heir. The last long letter that Tolstoy wrote was
to Gandhi. |

This book was, then, the beginning of a romance-of two people coming
together-and of an adventure, in which the paradoxical force of
forcelessness, of nonviolence, entered into history and altered it. Soul
force, as they sometimes called it, usually operates on a different
wavelength from material or political force-its effects are not to be
measured by the same standards. But every now and then, when one person
induces others literally to believe in soul-force, it enters into bodies
and masses and actions-a beam of light passes into solid matter and moves
it. The book you hold in your hands is one of those sources of light. |
