I was a professor of”iterative for many years, now retired. My specialty was the poetry of Spain, but I have read and enjoyed the literature of many countries, many writers. This wonderful piece I’d never read but very glad that I’ve listened to it now. What a shame that young people don’t read much anymore. They learn so much about history, philosophy, and different cultures, and also their personality becomes more gentle and thoughtful. They learn critical thinking. I wish high schools and universities put more emphasis on literature, but sadly, I think that the world of readers and thinkers is forever gone.

This story beautifully illustrates what true faith is. It is not about religious observance but loving ones neighbor as oneself. Not about self righteousness and criticism of others, but in humility, serving the least of these. That is a true display of faith, and true worship of a God who gave it all to save us when we were destitute in spirit. It is the story of the good Samaritan, a man, shunned by the Religious Jewish leaders, who stopped and helped a gravely wounded man laying on the side of the road, while the Pharisee and a priest contemptuously crossed the road and continued on their way.

The two pilgrims have the same goal, but one of them decides to achieve it in a place where a family tragedy requires his intervention. He uses almost all the money he saved for the trip to the Holy Land to save a poor family and then returns home. The other pilgrim who moved on, but upon arriving in the Holy Land he cannot free himself from the fear of being robbed. In this precious gem of Russian literature, Leo Tolstoy illuminates the qualitative difference that exists between believing in something and acting in accordance with that belief. The theme of the tale is more or less similar to that present in the Arthurian cycle of English literature. Many knights seek the Grail, but it only presents itself to one of them. Percival finds the Grail just when he gives up chasing it. Tolstoy's character who gives up on traveling to the Holy Land finds it in the place where he decides to help a family in a desperate situation. His friend continues to pursue the Grail, but he doesn't even find it in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. It is interesting to note an irony here. Tolstoy fought against the British Empire during the Crimean War, but it was in English literature that he found a theme that he considered important enough to transfigure it to try to instill in Russian readers the idea that virtuous action is better than any belief in one's self virtue.

While one person considered that it is important to complete the pilgrimage and the other considered it more important to help the people in need. In the end the humane one sees God. The vision which Effim had in Jerusalem is symbolic. Tolstoy being both a great humanitarian and a God believer uses the story to tell us how one should really practice the religion. I think he has achieved the purpose.
