Tolstoy

The same questioner said: “I have read much of Tolstoy and I see a parallel between his teachings and yours. In one of his books he speaks 95 of the Enigma of Life, and describes how life is wasted in our endeavour to find the Key. But Tolstoy goes on to say: ‘There is a man in Persia who holds the secret.’”
“Yes,” said ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, “I received a letter from Tolstoy, and in it he said that he wished to write a book upon Bahá’u’lláh.”
