4. Религия есть высший и благороднейший деятель в воспитании человека, величайшая сила просвещения, между тем как внешние проявления веры и политическая своекорыстная деятельность суть главные препятствия движению вперед человечества. Деятельность и духовенства и государства противоположны религии. Сущность религии, вечная и божественная, одинаково наполняет сердце человека везде, где только оно чувствует и бьется. Все наши исследования указывают нам на единую основу всех великих религий, на единое учение, развивающееся с самого начала жизни человечества до настоящего дня.
В глубине всех вер течет поток единой вечной истины.
Пускай парсы носят свои таовиды, евреи свои филактерии, христиане свой крест, мусульмане свой полумесяц, но пусть все они помнят, что это только внешние знаки, но основная сущность всех религий — любовь к ближнему — одинаково требуется Ману, Зароастром, Буддой, Моисеем, Сократом, Гиллелем, Иисусом, Павлом, Магометом.
4. Religion is the highest and noblest agent in the education of man, the greatest force of enlightenment, whereas the outward manifestations of faith and self-seeking political activity are the chief obstacles to the forward movement of humanity. The activities of both the clergy and the state are opposed to religion. The essence of religion, eternal and divine, fills the heart of man alike wherever it feels and beats. All our inquiries point us to a single foundation of all the great religions, to a single teaching, unfolding from the very beginning of humanity’s life to the present day.
In the depths of all faiths flows the stream of one eternal truth.
Let the Parsis wear their taavids, the Jews their phylacteries, the Christians their cross, the Muslims their crescent, but let them all remember that these are only outward signs, and that the fundamental essence of all religions — love of one’s neighbor — is required alike by Manu, Zoroaster, Buddha, Moses, Socrates, Hillel, Jesus, Paul, Muhammad.

What Tolstoy read · Tolstoy's own earlier Russian of the passage: the epigraph to chapter VII of «Одумайтесь!»Деятельность и духовенства и государства противоположны религии.

Пускай парсы носят свои таавиды, евреи свои филактерии, христиане свой крест, мусульмане свой полумесяц, но пусть все они помнят, что это только формы и эмблемы, тогда как основная сущность всех религий — любовь к ближнему — одинаково требуется Ману, Зороастром, Буддой, Моисеем, Сократом, Гиллелем, Иисусом, Павлом, Магометом …
Source text: ru.wikisource.orgMaurice Fluegel’s own wordsThe religious element contemplated from that elevated standpoint, becomes thus the highest and noblest factor in man's education, the greatest potency in his civilization ; while effete creeds and political selfishness are the greatest obstacles to human advance.
State-craft and priest-craft are the very opposites of religion.
Study here has shown the religious substance everywhere to be identical, eternal and divine, permeating the human heart wherever it throbs, feels and meditates.
… all pointing to the identical basis of the great religions, to the one doctrine unfolding, since the dawn of humanity to this day, …
… that deep at the bottom of all the creeds flows the stream of the one eternal revelation, the one religion, the " word of God " to the mind of man, …
Let the Parsee bear his Taavids, the Jew his philacteries, the Christian his cross, and the Moslem his crescent. But let them all remember that these are forms and emblems, while the practical essence is: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," equally emphasized and accentuated by Manu, Zoroaster, Buddha, Abraham, Moses, Socrates, Hillel, Jesus, Paul, Mohammed.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. The Zend-Avesta and Eastern Religions: Comparative Legislations, Doctrines and Rites of Parseeism, Brahmanism and Buddhism (Baltimore, 1898), Conclusion; Tolstoy's Russian first appeared as the epigraph to chapter VII of «Одумайтесь!» (1904), The Zend-Avesta and Eastern Religions, pp. 241-242 ("Conclusion").
Fluegel wrote in English, in Baltimore (so the title page). Tolstoy's three paragraphs are sentences from the book's last two pages, joined with cuts: religion as the highest and noblest factor in man's education and the greatest power of his civilization, with effete creeds and political selfishness the chief obstacles to advance; statecraft and priestcraft the opposites of religion; the religious substance identical, eternal and divine wherever the human heart beats; all the researches pointing to one basis of the great religions and one doctrine unfolding since the dawn of humanity; the stream of one eternal revelation at the bottom of all creeds; Parsee, Jew, Christian and Moslem keeping their emblems while the essence, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself", is taught by all the great teachers. Tolstoy turns "effete creeds" into "the outward manifestations of faith", makes the stream "one eternal truth" in place of "the one eternal revelation, the one religion, the word of God", gives the commandment as "love of one's neighbour", calls the emblems "outward signs", and leaves Abraham out of the list. His first Russian of the passage, the epigraph to chapter VII of «Одумайтесь!» (1904), keeps "one eternal revelation, one religion, the word of God addressed to man", "forms and emblems", and Fluegel's "Taavids" (Parsee amulets) as «таавиды», which the Circle prints «таовиды». Ruling 1: Tolstoy condensed and changed the English, so no printable.
Translation note. The Circle prints «таовиды», a slip for «таавиды», as Tolstoy wrote the word in his first Russian of this passage (the epigraph to chapter VII of «Одумайтесь!», 1904): Fluegel’s “Taavids,” his name for the amulets of the Parsi ritual.
