EDITOR’S NOTE: We live in a world where the Satanic acts of the few are reversing eternal values and truths. The perfect antidote in such troubled times is these famous quotes (below) by Nikos Kazantzakis. I admit that the Greek video (first) contains a better selection than the English one… I wish I had the time to translate it as is… Enjoy!
Home History - Language - Culture An Anchor Of Sanity In Our Troubled Times: Wisdom By Nikos Kazantzakis
On his tomb:
“I hope for nothing,
I fear nothing,
I am free”.
If Nikos Kazantzakis was spiritually devout – he’d have become a giant!
If he was “devout” to any faith or ideology he would not be Kazantzakis! His abandonment of socialism proves the point: Kazantzakis was about spiritual freedom and not about unquestionable devotion to any given “truth”! Having said that, he was closer to Christ than any of the self-proclaimed “devotees”…
Succinctly said… I think he’s got it !
Freedom from any organized religion is a wise thing as it becomes an IDOL and we know how corrupt parts of church are…
nonetheless,
I still believe , in his sojourns to Mt. Athos,
had he found an extraordinary Elder who understood Nikos, he’d have reached a higher summit.
