I didnt expect to practice my French while listening to this, but it was such a good story and so edifying. It's incredible how much love Tolstoy is able to make the reader feel towards Father Sergius and towards his journey.
I enjoy Leo Tolstoy's stories. It is remarkable to realise that in the time of Tolstoy that people in Russia were believers in God. Most of Tolstoy's characters relate to God, compassion for the vulnerable, the starving and the poor. In the year 1840 Russia had periods of famine, unemployment. Most people had to leave their families to go to war. Today in the 21 st century the Russian Government have a different style of living. They pursue the development of arms, missiles, they are competing with other nations for more power.. The leaders practise a strange style of democracy. The Russians are governed by a strict autocratic 5:17 5:17 regime. Freedom is dictated by the the leaders, the style of Govt is different from the Govt of the west.😊😢
Used to be believers in God? Turn of your TV and spend some time reflecting on how off base a statement this is to make of a population of A majority of Orthodox Christians that has remained kindled for centuries and through many regimes, governments or Kingdoms.
@@joycehaarup4432I assume you mean government of the USA when you write government of the West? In that case, there is no difference in terms of pursuing development of arms and missiles, and the will to compete with other states for more power. That fact that the Russians failed to establish a sustainable democracy after the fall of the Soviet Union is certainly understandable, but it is completely incomprehensible that the Republican Party has become puppets for the tyrant Trump and put American democracy at risk of disintegration. For the rest of the world the to nations are much more similar than you like to believe.
Do I understand the moral of this story correctly? I thought he might be confusing lust for the desire of human contact without lust. Also, To give in the purest of intentions. That he spent decades denying himself any comforts. These acts were without benefit of love or sacrifice for others so he continues to feel unfullfilled. Only toward the end of his life does he understand?
A marvellous 'feat' for an narrator to accomplish this without any pause, or, break. No wonder the fanatical monk Raspitin held such 'sway' over the Empress Alexandra and her son Alexei.
They say Tolestoy is sociologist and Dostoyvosky is Psychologist....I think Tolestoy is nothing less than of a Psychologist who knowa human mind and behavior so well
Leo Tolstoy - a great teacher of modern time. Societies everywhere need to RESTORE our FORGOTTEN divine consciousness of compassion, selflessness, unconditional love, humility and Universal brotherhood (love your neighbours). 🙏🛐♥️🌻

Helps me understand more what Martin Luther went through before he discovered it was Christ's righteousness that saved him, and not of himself, lest any man should boast.
Search Luther’s history. Good coverage in Great Controversy by 7DA writer Ellen Gould White. Luther’s father hated the role of Cath. Priests. Luther wanted to serve God, & thought being a Priest was for him. While a Monk, in Germany, he climbed a stone stairway regularly on his knees. And The Lord spoke to him that was NOT going to please God. Luther longed to read God’s Word. He was not allowed to. He found a small bit of the Bible in a Library. He finally learned the TRUTH OF CHRIST’S SACRIFICE, and Jesus freeing us from satan’s claims of lording over sinners - claiming they belonged to him. Luther learned much from traveling to Rome: expecting to meet Holy Priests, he met course, greedy sorts, using their offices for selfish ungodly, temporary pleasures. He returned to Germany determined to stop the flow of money from hard working people, mostly poor people, sent to Rome to put delicacies on the daily plates at the Vatican. The Pope sought to condemn Luther. Friends of Luther in Germany worked to protect him from being hurt. Luther wrote MUCH, wanting everyone to know how Jesus’ Sacrifice opened to us the mercy of God; telling us how God is Love.
Spiritual life/born again/twice born means detachment from activities/work that is NOT conductive to the wellbeing of Body-Mind-Soul ; and replace by pious/saintly work/activities which nourishes our body, spirit SOUL, and mind. Great men of past and present have trained their mind to be their Master and their mind are not being easily disturbed by outer forces.
I enjoy the stories but I wish the reader was better at being the other characters. Especially the women’s lines. I agree, good listening while cooking or housework 🌹
Humility would be in doing more good than realized. It is important that religious roles be treated as putting priority to the secular and social authorities. Rituals can maintain, establish, or restore.
For the first time ever i understand what being a monk, here a Russian orthodox monk, is supposed to be about - he tirelessly helped people, which is what be a religious person is supposed to be all about- and yet, he castigated and cast himself as a sinner. Then being sent to Siberia, did more of his God’s work. this is what being a Christian is supposed to be, but few do this. A person who helps others is more religious than any person who is egoistic or proud or arrogant towards others. they may have faults, all humans do, but that is not that important as long as they work on being better. Zoroastrians had helping others as one of their precepts. it goes further back than that, i am sure. Humans have cared for their sick far, far back as proven by finding burials that show this. 🌷🌱 (so many in amurica think it’s only belief in their idea of god is what counts and look with distain and disgust at people who don’t believe exactly as they do.👿)
Story by Tolstoy. Voice by AI. Utterly unconvincing throughout, but especially in the dialogue sections. Farcical, but apparently good enough to fool a bunch of us.
@@YeshuaIsTheTruth Christians are SPIRITUAL Israelites. there is no jew nor greek, free nor bond, male nor female. John 3:16- for God so loved the WORLD that he gave his only begotton son...salvation is for all who want it
🙇🏻Tolstoy. i haven’t read his work for quite a while. this story is new to me. Russian authors have so much soul. the emotion in their writing goes to one’s depth - even the more modern, lesser known, 20th century authors). i should check some 21st century author’s, but by watching Russian videos, i don’t think they have.🪆🐻🌷🌱
It's the AI. It's really interesting how it works. It interprets many phrases which should be said gently and kindly as angry and harsh. Even "Jesus Christ", seeing it as expletive, not prayer. Says a lot about our modern world compared to Tolstoy's.......
Great story listened while I painted
Me too.
listening while making old fashioned cinnabons before my ten year old comes home fm school :)
I am learning so much..of Russia..of Catholicism..so well written and read. Tolstoy was truly a gift writer. Must read War and Peace one day
I’ve owned an original hard bound copy of War And Peace for 50 years, and haven’t read it!
I Will now!
Russia is Orthodox, not Catholic
Orthodox not Catholic
Yes, you should read War and Peace. Excellent writing. Or listen to it. ❤
Tolstoy's masterful storytelling not only captures the essence of the Russian soul but also speaks universally to the human condition.
🙏♥️🌻👍Well said. Unconditional Love, universal brotherhood, compassion, humility, non-violence need to be cultivated to bring Peace within and without.🙏🙏🙏
Enjoyed listening to the story while working, second Tolstoy story in two days, it would not be possible had it not been an audio book, Thank you🙏💐

What a beautiful story!
Very well done... Perfect tone quality ( the reader) ...Came across and was drawn in ... .😊
Not bad for being read by a machine… AI voices are improving.
the reader's tone for the woman is terrible.

There are programs to edit recordings. It doesn't have to be read in one sitting.
I don't know if it's true but I did see a few say it was new AI voice reading
Not sure what you mean by your remark...nor why you call the Holy Man a "fanatic"...
Thank you.

Same thoughts. That IS how it is. We will never be able to wash ourselves clean. That's why Jesus came.
You realize these people are brainwashed and members of a cult, don’t you?

Great story. I just have one question, why does he use such a harsh voice when in female character?
AI problem
Yes. Because it’s a computer reading it. Not human…. So it’s an error. A bug. 🤦🏼♂️
True 😂
I think there was a story between the adverts but I’m not sure!

Well done
Appreciate these stories... Does anyone know the painting?
9:59 the man of the 1840s
29:11 pride
37:01 renunciation as temptation
the bottom fell right out of that one
There is a huge difference between just reading and telling a story. You my friend are just reading.
If you can't say something nice ....
Amazon audio books are a thing and pity this voice is not used. I'd buy more audio books
I'm pretty sure it's an AI voice.
A.I. doesn't care.
What was said in French?

Yes I listened to another one of these and knew it was ai.
how sad. AI is height of anti- human & Anti-God.
So , whats your point ...
lol. Not AI.
The Russian Faith is rooted in Monasticism:
The world will be saved through Russia:
🤡🤡🤡
But Yeshua said, "Salvation is of the Jews".
The west, not the World.
the conservatives, not Russia.
In the end, her immaculate heart will triumph.
