Chapter Eight:
Parting

Once, Blagoslav said to Alexey:

“We must leave this place. The surroundings are now uncomfortable. I have begun to feel danger. It is necessary to go to Siberia, far beyond the Ural Mountains. It will be calmer there: easier to hide…

“In the last year, I have sent three of our people to look at that region. They have found good secretive places. We will wait till winter is over here, and go in the spring…”

* * *

Soon after this conversation, Alexey visited the county town. He bought papers for his manuscript and a few other small things that the community members had asked for their needs. He also brought with him some alarming news:

Several military detachments are moving from their places from the south. Having completed the suppression of the Bashkir popular uprising, they must now accompany the voivode and the church clerks who will seek out and register the “dissenters” throughout the district. There is such a requirement: to conduct a census of all the Old Believers in order to tax them with a double tax… The former decree, the so-called “12 Articles of Tsarevna Sophia” about how to punish “dissidents”, was abolished. Instead, new decrees were prescribed which were, sort of, softer. But all, who do not obey, — will be punished with death and other punishments. And how all of this will actually be implemented, it is not clear yet…

It is also said that they will be looking for a community here. A denunciation was written that the “heretics” have taken refuge here. This place was pointed out by some man. He heard that there was a community situated here. He had a conversation with a man and a woman from that community. And that man seduced him into “heresy”…

… Alexey told all of this to Blagoslav.

“I have found out about this… And I was not informed of the details, of course.”

… Blagoslav said with a pain in his voice:

“This is that danger which I had been feeling now for a long time…

“Now we must leave — without waiting for spring!

“Now we will gather the council, and you must tell everyone what you know!”

… At the council of the community, Alexey suggested:

“If our houses are found, even if they are empty, then they will seek and pursue us. I think that I will show them the place where the community of Old Believers was burned several years ago. They will believe me. Maybe then the trouble will pass…”

Blagoslav shook his head:

“It is necessary to leave anyway!… Better — now! They may not believe you…”

… At the council of the community, everyone decided to leave…

Later, Blagoslav asked Alexey:

“Will you leave with us now?”

“I think that I need to try to stop those who are looking for our community… I will try to ward off the danger from all of you: so that they do not pursue you. I will have such an opportunity. And after that — I will catch up with you…”

… He paused for a moment, then said:

“However, maybe, — quite after…

“This madness of hatred to other faiths must be stopped! If I do not make up my mind, then I’ll regret this for my whole life!

“I’ll finish the book! There is only a little bit left! I’ll go to the new capital, and I’ll try to meet with the tsar! I will say what I think about the spiritual reforms, which are necessary! I will give him the manuscript!…

“And then — God will decide what happens next…

“If I’m alive, I’ll find all of you! Rada has already taught me how it’s possible to find any place on the Earth, where the beloved people are…

“Do you bless this plan?”

… Blagoslav was silent… He was silent for a long time… He listened to God…

Then he spoke very slowly and quietly, but the words sounded somehow special, as if many of the Highest Souls in the universe listened to him:

“I myself would tell you: ‘No, come with us! You cannot correct anything in this world! Only you yourself will perish, and will make Rada unhappy!…’

“But my will must not be executed now, it’s not for me to decide!

“The possibility that you will be able to change the course of the history of the Russian state — is very little. But it’s possible…

“There are such key moments when the deeds and decisions of individuals can guide events into a new direction for centuries…

“It’s like forks in the roads of countries, even of whole civilizations…

“At such moments, very much depends on the choices and actions of specific people!

“God usually does not make decisions instead of people. Therefore, the people receive the kinds of governments, of which they are deserving.

“But sometimes the Divine Messengers change the course of Earth’s history a bit…

“You are not a Messiah: you did not master everything which we could teach you.

“And yet, from you and from what you want to try to accomplish, much can be changed in this country. And I have no right to dissuade you…

“You decide!

“What Rada and I should do is not to force you to a decision, but let you realize your choice — according to how your heart will tell you and how you will understand God!

“I hope that you will return to us, to Rada… But I will not build illusions.

“I will await you! All of us will wait for you and try to help you to the extent that is it is possible for us to do at a distance as souls.

“If there is an opportunity to change the living conditions, in which the new generations of people, coming to the Earth, will be born and brought up, — it is worth trying!

“Just remember that each person, whether performing ordinary earthly works or even special feats, must oneself, first of all, become a Divine Soul! No matter how much you talk about it to others, nor how many books you read, nor how many manuscripts you write — the result of this life is weighed in the World of God as follows: ‘Have you already come in — or have you not entered yet?’. If It has been reached — then the Main Feat of life here on the Earth has been accomplished! Do not forget about this, trying to help all people!”

* * *

Later, Alexey spoke with Rada:

“Darling! I had thought that I would still have more time to be with you, time to learn, to become stronger, and wiser…

“I did not know that everything would end so soon!…

“Will you forgive me? Will you allow me to go? I cannot do otherwise!”

… Rada silently looked at Alexey. Her love was greater than the sadness of having to be separated by bodies… Her love was so strong that she gave the freedom to her beloved…

* * *

The community went over the Ural Mountains, to Siberia…

Blagoslav calmly and confidently led the people.

During the night, Rada sat next to him near the fire, snuggled up to her grandpa, and said quietly:

“I will have a child, a son. I know that there will be a son — the son of me and Alexey…

“I did not tell him…

“It would have been very difficult for him to cope with the choice, if he knew about that…

“Grandpa, you know how to see the future! Tell me: will he return?”

“It’s impossible now to determine this… This will depend on how the future is now being created by many people…

“And you have contributed your part: you have released him — the most beloved person!…”

“But what if I let him go to his death?”

“It may happen so… Both you and I know this… We also know that without bodies, life — for us — continues in the Light of Love of the Divine Existence…

“We also know how difficult it is sometimes to live far away from the beloved, even though we are already entering the Divine world…

“Such trials are given to us not as punishment, but to make us stronger and wiser…

“What is the meaning of life for us now? And how to sum it up? Did we, having left this world, become Particles of the World of Divine Love?

“To become One with God — one needs to learn to love as God loves! To love — with Him, from Him!

“It is necessary to let go of a small love — in order to become the Great Love! It is necessary to reach — and to become the Divine Sun, Whose rays shine to this world. And to also become — the Heart, which is merged with the Primordial!

“Our help to those, who follow, is to be poured, like the light from the Sun, at every moment of such life — both while we are in bodies, and after, when we no longer have bodies.

“And those, who turn away from darkness, receive that help — and they turn their eyes of the souls to God. They then begin to see the Light and gradually rush to the Creator — with all their being, with their whole lives!”
