From Tolstoy’s “A Calendar of Wisdom”:
Every good or charitable action, every unprofitable assistance which supports other people in need, when we come to its origins and foundations, becomes a mysterious and unexplainable thing, because it comes out of the mysterious understanding of the unity of all living beings, and it can be explained by nothing else. — quoting Arthur Schopenhauer
Tolstoy’s words:
We are separate beings, it seems, but in our inner life we are closely connected with all living things.
We can feel some of the vibrations of this spiritual world: some of them have not reached us yet, but they are moving, as the vibrations of light from the distant stars are moving across the universe; they move, though they are not yet visible to our eyes.
