And I'm condescending again to those who still didn't do the two principal steps upwards. Or who have done one, but hasn't made aware of this, taking the sound of his soul's strings as a whim or as an idle fun. But the cause of their confusion differs from those who were confused by stranger beliefs. This time I am going to console those, who is confused by people from other ethnic origins.
The nationality is a one of human's integrations. Whom Jesus named as the dearest humans, even who was dearer than the near relations? I am reminding: so He named His pupils, and to be more precise, His like-minded, that are the brothers in faith, who listened Him and learnt voluntarily. But He had ranked at the second place His relatives in the flesh, indicating at the followers and saying: "And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!" (Matth. 12:49).
Certainly, among the relatives in the flesh these are natural: the love, the compassion, the participation and the mutual assistance. But if your relative has walked away from the verity, you may take care of him but don't follow him. If the stay together at the same home leads to the quarrels - leave him and avoid the meetings. Don't worry about him, because sooner or later everyone will come up on the Top. And now thank Lord, if you aren't in disagreement, but only the related love and the mutual assistance.
The more distant relatives are - the more is their number - this is a simple arithmetic. And here just imagine we have glanced over a large crowd of the fellow tribesmen, they are distant relatives regarding each other.
And finally we are examining the most distant relatives, so, that one may consider them as strange persons practically, though they aren't, because all the peoples are descended from Adam and Eve. However they are distant to such a degree that somebody living in another land can be found nearer in the flesh, than a so-called countryman.
What have we seen in the first case? - A spiritual brotherhood of the like-minded persons.
What have we seen in the second case? - The near relatives in the flesh.
What have we seen in the third case? - A large crowd of the fellow tribesmen.
And what have we seen in the last case? - Just a crowd. A nation is a crowd. A crowd possessing in more or less degree general habits and a definite territory is well-established historically which can be extensive very much.
Thus if your state embracing within itself a human community you name it as your nation, if its government incites you to a war against another human community, are you sure that you will not fight with someone closer in the relationship, battling for interests of someone more distant? Are you sure that you will not fight against someone closer in spirit, battling for the interests of your ideological enemies? Is it pardonable to commit the murders for the interests of persons of the common territory without ascertaining who is closer in spirit for you? Will not you kill friends for the sake of the interests of your enemies?
You are putting into service to commit the murders, but before have you found out who is right? Is your war holy? Is it going to uphold the eternal verities: God, the Love, the Truth, the Liberty? Or is your idol against these things? If you are at war, because otherwise some people will blame you, then you act against Christ. And if you think of yourself such brave you can be at war, why do not you turn the weapon against those who incites you to the grave sins and crimes? After all, it would seem, it is alike dangerous, so is not it better to perish in the holy war like a just man, than risk your precious life under the satanic banners? Just your mind becomes blind by the idolatry of "motherland", the party, the nation, the organization.
So, throw out the idols and seek what comes from your God: the Same God, the Love, the Verity, the Liberty. And if it is impossible without war, then fight for them, and if it is impossible avoid the bloodshed, then do not shed blood in vain, neither your one, nor one of the others. And if you seek the Verity in all sincerity and your soul is singing, you will be higher than any nationality, because even if a crowd climbs high, however there is a limit for it, beyond this limit one can climb only alone. And you would be very lucky, if you meet a fellow traveller who is seeking the same Peak, clambering up through the majestic slopes of the Highland.
There are the peoples who have risen quite high. One of these peoples who has risen high, the Chechens are, because, although they don't trust that Jesus was crucified, but they obey His commandments, to love God and neighbours. It is a little of places on the Earth, where you would find such a mutual assistance and such a backing among the people. But in the flesh they are more distant relatives each other, than a nation.
There are well in India certain communities of believers who has risen high, because they tolerate all religions and they would hinder lesser, than all the others, to make the second step in the Highland.
The English speaking countries have risen very high. The tradition of hiding their hearth from the curious and disapprobatory eyes in the combination with the Protestant ethics, these circumstances have raised these peoples at maximum height, it is very unlikely any crowd could be rising higher. And the strongest country among them, that is America (USA), it observes the human rights across the Earth, but make an idol never, even from this country. If America doesn't exist, it's quite probable the influence on the humanity some evil and barbarian state would exert, which would succeed become the strongest. Then everywhere only the tyrants and the oppressors of freedom would feel free and they would mistreat their nationals as they think fit, and nobody then would dare to call to order them, saying: "You are disturbing the human rights!" And before unheard-of lawlessnesses would increase across the Earth, then, and many of these, who is reading these lines now, would want to die at the wrong time, being under unlimited yoke.
Therefore pray to your Lord He would save America, but only under conditions, that this great country continues to observe these great verities, such as God, the freedom, the Truth, the Love, because these verities don't issue from any country, but only from the Most High. Because a state may be either a keeper of them, or a robber of these Divine treasures. The prayer is appropriate only for the keeper. But don't make an idol from the keeper. One ought not worship any state - it would be an idolatry. To worship a nation, a crowd - it is an idolatry too. "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve".
And don't render a final judgment concerning any nation. By that you are taking away from yourself the freedom to be born in the next life among the nation you are judging.
And understand what would be available to understand even for a fool: not your belonging to a nationality, but the choice you will do will determine your situation in the Highland or outside of it.
Remember, if you choose to live as all the people around you, then you will get dirty from all the sins and the crimes of the crowd, which you have imagined as you are a part of it. Because an ideal nationality doesn't exist, a fruit of which would be the El Dorado on the Earth, and every nationality has its own defect. Or aren't your own sins enough for you?
If you are at war, protect those who are near and dear to you, then your war will be a holy one. But in which connection is here a nationality, that is a crowd?
If you are at war from your own convictions, for your faith, then your war will be a holy one, while you are struggling for the Freedom, but in which connection is here a nationality, that is a crowd?
If you are at war because a crowd wants it, then it would difficult to find some sin more grave, and the retribution for it is close. This would be the same thing as to tease a tiger, being hanging on a thin rope. And if the enemy of human souls needs to push you down into the Noisome Ravine with streams of a the stinking boiling water and banks of a decomposing carrion, then where is it more convenient to do it, as at unjust war you fight? But if your war is holy one and it was impossible to avoid it, then you are higher than all the communities are, every your loss in this war will cover a multitude of your sins, and no death for you, but only an interrupting of an interesting game you name "the life"and want to see up it to the end.
Remember, if you have done two steps up in the Highland, you are above all the nationalities on the Earth and no longer have anything to do with the earthly crowds. And there is just a little bit who higher than you, either those who is walking up or who are enlightened and have reached. You and your brothers and sisters in spirit, all those who have done two steps up, who hearing the new Song, have recognized their close souls in all the ends of the Earth - you are the only supreme Nationality, regardless of the color of your skin and of your nationality, and the rest of the population are crowds.
Don't be afraid and don't be embarrassed of the silly crowds, because of their understanding they are close to the animals. And if they are found in opposition to you, remember that they are merely as the slow-witted children, and one day they will be found on your height, when they will have grown in spirit, then they will go to the Peak, and it is unknown who of you will arrive there the first. Here is why the our Lord Jesus Christ prayed for them when they crucified Him. Because every human unit is a potential, is a seed, which will have grown sooner or later.
If you are seeking, a silly crowd may not lead you. A silly crowd, you name as a nationality, cannot be a subject of imitation and an object of worship. However high a crowd would have risen, it is only a crowd. They will braird, but they are only still not sprouted seeds. If you have close relatives - love them and take care of them, but don't learn to live in their opinion, if you know how. If you have sprouted, the seeds are not an authority for you.
If the strings of your soul are capable to sound, it is time for you to separate from the crowd, if not physically go away, then although mentally. Get away from them mentally and, being silent, be searching from aside the human crowd, how stupid it is, the crowd who thinks in the only way and is standing still in the same place. They are fools who are trying to live and to think like all around, because of this they develop neither mentally, nor in spirit, and they need in large troubles to lead them from the numbness.
Any nationality is a crowd. But one who is thinking and seeking - he doesn't belong to any crowd anymore and is free from all the nationalities.
