2. Тот не смиренен, кто говорит про себя, что он смиренен. Тот, кто говорит, я ничего не знаю, — тот умен; кто говорит: я учен, — тот болтун. Тот, кто молчит, — тот умнее и лучше всех.
2. He is not humble who says of himself that he is humble. He who says “I know nothing” is wise; he who says “I am learned” is a babbler. He who keeps silent is wiser and better than all.
From Verses of Vemana · joined by Tolstoy from several places (more).
What Tolstoy read · Moncure D. Conway, The Sacred Anthology… this is no humility.
He who says, ' I know nothing,' is shrewd ; he who says, ' I am learned,' is a talker.
He who holds his peace is the wisest and the best.
Source text: archive.orgIn English · C. P. Brown, 1829If you say “ I am humble,” this is no humility.
247. He who says, “I know nothing,” is the shrewdest of all: he who says, “I am learning,” is a mere talker.
He who holds his peace is the wisest and the best.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Verses of Vemana, Book III, vv. 64 and 247 (Brown).
Conway's 'Humility' joins seven sentences from C. P. Brown's English of the Telugu poet Vemana, its margin reading 'Hindu. Vemana.' Tolstoy takes the first ('If you say, "I am humble," this is no humility', Brown III.64) and the last (Brown III.247), close; Conway's 'I am learned' (Brown: 'I am learning') gives «я учен». The printed editions signed it «Ветана», a misprint of Vemana; the Jubilee editors changed it to «Вамана Пурана» (their table of corrected signatures, vol. 42), and their name index has «Вемана Пурана». Both are wrong: the Vamana Purana is a Sanskrit Purana, and these are Vemana's verses. The Telugu is not given: the saved Brown edition's Telugu is unreadable OCR.
4. Без чистоты души зачем поклонение богу? Зачем говорить: я пойду на поклонение богу? Как может поклоняться богу тот, кто делает зло?
Святость не в лесах, не на небе, не на земле, не в священных реках. Очисти свое тело, и ты увидишь его. Преврати тело в храм, откинь дурные мысли и созерцай бога внутренним оком. Когда мы познаем его, мы познаем самих себя. Без личного опыта одно писание не уничтожит наших страхов, — так же, как темнота не разгоняется написанным огнем. Какая бы ни была твоя вера и твои молитвы, пока в тебе нет правды, ты не достигнешь пути блага. Тот, кто познает истину, тот родится снова.
Источник истинного блага — в сердце: безумен тот, кто ищет его в ином месте. Он подобен пастуху, ищущему ягненка, который у него за пазухой.
Зачем вы собираете камни и строите великие храмы? Зачем мучаете себя так, тогда как бог живет постоянно внутри вас?
Дворная собака лучше, чем безжизненный идол в доме, и лучше, чем все полубоги, великий бог мира.
Тот свет, который, как утренняя звезда, живет внутри сердца каждого человека, этот свет — наше прибежище.
4. Without purity of soul, why worship God? Why say: I will go to worship God? How can he who does evil worship God?
Holiness is not in the forests, not in heaven, not on earth, not in the sacred rivers. Purify your body, and you will see him. Make your body a temple, cast off bad thoughts, and contemplate God with the inner eye. When we come to know him, we come to know ourselves. Without personal experience, scripture alone will not destroy our fears, just as darkness is not dispelled by a painted fire. Whatever your faith and your prayers may be, so long as there is no righteousness in you, you will not reach the path of good. He who comes to know the truth will be born again.
The source of the true good is in the heart: mad is he who seeks it elsewhere. He is like a shepherd looking for a lamb that he has in his bosom.
Why do you gather stones and build great temples? Why do you torment yourselves so, when God lives always within you?
A yard dog is better than a lifeless idol in the house, and better than all the demigods is the great God of the world.
That light which, like the morning star, lives within the heart of every man, that light is our refuge.

What changedBenares drops out: Conway’s “Why say, ‘I will go to Benares?’” becomes “Why say: I will go to worship God?”, “thou shalt behold the king” becomes “you will see him,” and Conway’s “twice-born” becomes one who “will be born again.”
What Tolstoy read · The Sacred AnthologyMake thy body pure and thou shalt behold the King.
… as darkness is never dispelled by a painted flame.
… he is like the shepherd who searched for the sheep which was in his bosom.
Better the house-dog than the inanimate household goddess ; and better than all demigods is the Lord of the universe.

Conway's 'Observances' joins fourteen of C. P. Brown's verses of the Telugu poet Vemana (Book I, 3, 49, 94, 95, 108, 110, 111, 115; Book II, 6, 155, 170, 189, 192, 205); Tolstoy takes it in order and leaves out three (I.95, I.108, II.6: 'no pilgrimage will make a saint of one whose nature is different'). He removes Benares: 'Why say, "I will go to Benares?" why long for the sacred wells? How shall the true Benares be attained by the evil-doer?' becomes «Зачем говорить: я пойду на поклонение богу? Как может поклоняться богу тот, кто делает зло?» (I will go to worship God; how can one who does evil worship God). 'Make thy body pure and thou shalt behold the King' becomes «увидишь его» (him); 'He who possesses the truth is the twice-born' becomes «Тот, кто познает истину, тот родится снова» (who comes to know the truth is born again); the sheep in the shepherd's bosom becomes a lamb. Conway had already changed Brown's 'give up all worldly thoughts, and see him' to 'give up evil thoughts, and see God'. The Vamana Purana is a Sanskrit Purana, and these are Vemana's verses, as in March (3-5.2), where the Jubilee editors put «Вамана Пурана» for the printed «Ветана»; their table of corrected signatures (vol. 42) lists no change for April 22, and their name index refers «Вемана Пурана» to the Puranas. The Telugu is Brown's own 1911 text, on Telugu Wikisource.
4. Религия, состоящая в положениях и движениях тела, ниже даже упражнений борца.
При отсутствии внутреннего ведения не хвались словесным почитанием божества.
Ложна та вера, которая говорит, что выгодно отказаться от настоящей жизни: разве не очевидно, что вечная жизнь начинается в этой жизни.
Человек, достигший совершенства, не делает различия между душою и всемирной природой, между собою и другим человеком.
Только тот из сынов человеческих заслуживает название святого, кто сознает бога в своем сердце. Познай сам себя — и ты станешь божеством.
Не зная того, что начало жизни сейчас существует в твоем духе, зачем ты ищешь его, воображая, что его можно найти в другом месте? Кто поступает так, подобен человеку, который зажигает светильник при свете солнца.
4. A religion that consists in postures and movements of the body is lower even than the exercises of a wrestler.
Without inner knowledge, do not boast of honoring the deity with words.
False is the faith that says it is profitable to renounce the present life: surely it is plain that eternal life begins in this life.
The man who has attained perfection makes no distinction between the soul and universal nature, between himself and another man.
Only he among the sons of men deserves the name of holy who is conscious of God in his heart. Know yourself — and you will become a deity.
Not knowing that the principle of life exists now in your spirit, why do you seek it, imagining that it can be found elsewhere? Whoever does so is like a man who lights a lamp in the light of the sun.
The Indian Vamana Purana [Vemana].
From Verses of Vemana · reworded by Tolstoy (more).
What changedThat “the living principle exists in your own body,” as Vemana and Brown have it, becomes that “the principle of life exists now in your spirit,” and the religion of postures, “just one straw inferior to the exercises of the wrestler” (Conway: “just a little inferior”), becomes “lower even than the exercises of a wrestler”; “the mind” becomes “the soul,” and “day and night” drop out.
What Tolstoy read · The Sacred Anthology… is just a little inferior to the exercises of the wrestler.
In the absence of inward vision boast not of oral divinity.
The man that has attained perfection draws no distinctions between day and night, the mind and universal nature, or himself and another man.
Ye are like one who while the sun shines shall search with a lamp.

198. Religion that consists in contriving various postures and twisting the limbs is just one straw inferior to the exercises of the wrestler.
204. False is the creed of those who hold that it is profitable to renounce the present life: cannot ye see that eternal existence commences in this life.
… ye are like one who, while the sun shines, should search with a lamp.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Verses of Vemana, Brown, Book III, vv. 198, 200, 204, 44, 46, 210 (Conway's order); Conway (1874), no. CCXXVIII, Formalism, p. 151.
Conway's 'Formalism', nine of C. P. Brown's verses of the Telugu poet Vemana (Book III, 175, 198, 200, 215, 204, 42, 44, 46, 210; 200 and 215 shortened), which Tolstoy takes in order, leaving out three sentences: the opening on the Sanyasis' red robes and shaven heads (175), 'All acts performed under a false guise are paths leading to death', and 'No man in the world considers truly who he is; alas! he cannot know his whole nature. How shall man learn to know himself?' He changes four things. 'Religion which consists in postures of the limbs, is just a little inferior to the exercises of the wrestler' becomes «Религия, состоящая в положениях и движениях тела, ниже даже упражнений борца» (religion consisting in positions and movements of the body is lower even than a wrestler's exercises; Brown: 'just one straw inferior'). 'Draws no distinctions between day and night, the mind and universal nature, or himself and another man' loses 'day and night' and makes the mind «душою» (the soul). 'Merits the title of Yogi (saint)' is «заслуживает название святого» (merits the name of saint). 'Ignorant that the living principle exists in your own body' becomes «Не зная того, что начало жизни сейчас существует в твоем духе» (not knowing that the source of life exists now in your spirit): Vemana and Brown say 'body' (తనువు), Tolstoy says 'spirit'. In the last line Conway's searcher with a lamp in sunshine becomes one who lights a lamp in the light of the sun. The Jubilee editors' «Вамана Пурана» is their reading of the early printings' garbled name, as for 3-5.2 and 4-22.4; the verses are Vemana's, as Conway's margin says. Not in Thoughts of Wise Men (1903).
