Those who seek will always find meaning. "Who seeks will always find"

2. Whoever seeks will always find Michael, however, was not my last unexpected discovery. A few weeks after breaking up with him, I met Lesha Yeremeev. With this guy, we also studied together at the university, but we did not communicate much in those years. He married early and

At a young age, many begin to read books about adventures and imagine themselves on board a ship rushing through the waves to warmer climes. One of my favorite compositions about the sea is the song "Merry Wind". It was she who became the main melody famous novel"Children of Captain Grant", filmed in the USSR in 1936. The authors of the song convey in verse the heroic spirit of brave adventurers who travel the seas. Strong and courageous people, ready to go to their goals and achieve them - this is exactly how the heroes of Jules Verne's novel appear. If you want to raise your morale and motivation, just listen online Cheerful wind, and confidence in own forces will appear by itself.

WHO SEEKS WILL ALWAYS FIND!

Sveta came to visit Olga to find out what she was doing and what her plans for the evening were.

Ol! Do you sit at home all day long? Today is the day off, maybe we'll go
somewhere?
- I don't really want to. Do not get stuck in any story. Something for us in the last
time is unlucky. Remember that weekend when our parents went to the country
celebrate the birthday of Tamara Fedorovna, and you and I were left alone.
We put on my mother's makeup, applied almost all of it on ourselves and, as always,
the phrase sounded: “We are sitting like two fools and no process!” So all life
will pass and there will be nothing to remember. Then they got into a situation where
barely took the legs. Remember how we gave the word without the guys I knew, not ho -
go to any events.
Let's call Valentine.
Roller, what are you doing? Let's go somewhere together!
Vadik reluctantly mumbled into the phone:
You girls are so risky, you are bound to get into trouble.
history. Some were afraid to go, so they invited me as a guard. We talked
great guy, you know him for a long time, almost yours close friend, but it turned out
that they met at the tram stop and he invited you to his place, and you
and they took me instead of a protective shield. So how did it all end?
When I understood the situation that the guy started with his friend, I decided
save you. When the boys went to the store for vodka, and they left me for protection
na, I gave you the command: “Quickly jump through the window! Available no more
10 minutes. The shop is not far from home. Can't run away -
the evening will not end well. Faster! Hurry up!
The apartment was with a balcony on the second floor. On this day, the frost was 15 degrees, there were snowdrifts, including under the balcony. It was a life saver for my friends. Olga was the first to jump more successfully, and Svetlana, climbing over the balcony, fell off and just fell into a snowdrift like a bag, while twisting her leg. We had to run through deep snow drifts. The girls fell constantly, but reached the tram line.
At this time, the guys returned from the store and, not finding their girlfriends, set off in pursuit, but not immediately. As it became known later, they beat Valentine and put him out the door.
When Sveta and Olga boarded the tram, they noticed that the guys were already close and were about to jump into the tram on the move. They shouted to the driver: “Wait! Stop!" The girls were very scared and asked not to open the doors: “We are in danger! Chasing us! They're hooligans!" they shouted throughout the tram. So fortunately, but having survived the fear, the day off ended. "All! We won’t go anywhere else, we’ll stay at home!” - so they thought at that moment. But a week passed, another day off came and the phrase sounded again:
“And that we are sitting like two fools and no process!”

Olga suggested:
- Let's go somewhere! It’s scary to go alone, and Valentine after that incident will not want adventures.
Sveta suggested:
- Let's go to a disco, maybe our guys will be there. Vitka promised to come, and Serega always goes there, and in which case, they will intercede, I think so.
So we decided. The girlfriends did not gather for a long time and after 20 minutes they were dancing at the "disco" in the "Machine Builders" Palace. There were a lot of people. Music boomed. A young guy went up to the microphone and sang in a hoarse voice: "Vladimir central, north wind ... etc." The voice was so raspy that it irritated the ear.
The friends approached the bar. And then the guy showed up:
Girls! Treat!
He gave the impression of a well-bred young man. In compliments, he did not skimp. Both friends were delighted with the new acquaintance. Calling himself Arnold, the guy said:
And you know what, I have an excellent library at home and a lot of paintings, like in a museum. Rather than breathe smoke here and endure terrible noise, I suggest you come to me. Parents will arrive only tomorrow. Let's sit like normal people in silence, but if you want music, then there will be music. Well, how? Do you agree?
The friends looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Arnold stopped a taxi and invited the girls to get into the car. The street lights were on. It was already late evening. Girlfriends did not remember the route, they were talking vigorously with a new acquaintance.
When we entered the apartment, an unusual atmosphere caught my eye: the antique furniture was lined with all sorts of figurines and, in the eyes of my friends, with all sorts of trinkets. Paintings hung on the walls in the hall. There were a lot of them, but the girls couldn't know their values, they just looked at them and that's it. There was a large glass cabinet in the kitchen, on the shelves of which were various alcoholic drinks. Arnold explained that his father was often in different countries and as a souvenir he brings all sorts of wines that are not sold here.
Arnold offered to drink good vintage wine.

For acquaintance! I treat! Girls, just one drink. I don't drink, but I want to treat you. This is an excellent vintage wine. Father brought from France. True, there is nothing to eat. I didn't count on guests. Excuse me, please!
The girlfriends drank and guessed what had happened when, waking up after a considerable time, they realized that it was not in vain that there was such an expression: “He who seeks will always find!”
We were looking for a process - that's what we got.
Friends began to come to their senses almost simultaneously. Sveta and Olga lay on the floor in the kitchen on a mattress. Their underwear was lying in the corner. Before opening her eyes, Olga heard Arnold's conversation with the man:

You, old man, must pay double! There are two of them.

Petya, we did not agree! You said - 200 per hour, but there were two of them, or how much, we did not stipulate.

You at all, grandfather, insolent! I give you such a buzz, and you are still bargaining. Tomorrow to have money! Otherwise, you know what will happen.

Fine! croaked the old man.

And at that moment, when he was still standing near the door, Olga opened her eyes and saw an old, wretched man with a huge hump. It seemed that under the weight of this hump he was so bent that he disappeared behind the door without straightening.

Olga wanted to close her eyes tighter, never to see such horror.

Arnold, in fact - Petka, hurried the girls:

Pack up quickly and leave! Parents called, they are already approaching the house. Hurry! I still have to get everything in order.
He urged his girlfriends on and practically threw them out the door.

It was still dark outside and they did not know where to go. They walked in silence until they reached the tram line. Having waited for the tram, they asked the conductor for permission to travel for free, since, allegedly, hooligans had stolen their handbag. The conductor didn't make any noise and dropped them off at the next stop. The road home was long and in complete silence.
Parting, they looked at each other and almost simultaneously said:

Here is the process! Who seeks will always find!

« Who seeks will always find».

A well-known proverb can be completely questioned when it comes to searching for communities of Old Believers or the phone numbers of priests. The Old Believer Church, seemingly ready to preach "outside", in fact remains just as closed from society and ... from themselves. One song, remember? - it is sung: "And yet I am looking for you around the world, again I am looking for you around the world, looking for you among other people's spaces and centuries." Remaining isolated, we risk losing those who are looking for their path to the temple...

In Search of the Lost Temple

• How to contact the community in Orekhovo-Zuevo?
• Where can I find the nearest Old Believer priest to Priob?
• Is there a church of the Russian Orthodox Church in Nizhny Tagil?

With these and other similar questions - among which, for example, once was this: "Where can one be saved from the destruction of the world?" I get called fairly regularly. Calling different people- and their own, the Old Believers, who perceive me, a journalist, as a kind of encyclopedic reference book with all the necessary information, and strangers - those who never knew me, had not seen me, but found my data in the Ural Old Believer newspaper "Obshchina", which became , fortunately, popular not only among believers, or somewhere on the Internet.

It turns out that it is incomparably easier to contact me than to find, say, the contacts of the priest Leonty Pimenov or any other Old Believer pastor, or the address of the community of some Nizhny Novgorod or Siberian church. For several years, diligently responding to each such appeal - both from the prisoners of one of the Udmurt colonies, and from the "seeker of truth" (non-Nikonian - he emphasized!) priest from under Nizhny Novgorod— I spared no time and effort to help people organize their feedback. Alas, not always - and, frankly, very rarely - it was possible to do this directly.

But, let’s say, in order not to “kill” the hope of a seeker, for example, a community somewhere in the south of Russia, one had to give either the contacts of a priest in Rostov-on-Don, or, corny, the telephone number of the reception of the Moscow Metropolis of the Old Believer Church. “We don’t distribute such data,” one parishioner, with a heavy sigh, once gave me the answer that he was given by phone in the historical center of the Old Believers in Moscow, when he asked to contact one of our priests.

In the Old Believers through the narrow gates

And I suddenly realized that the Russian Orthodox Old Believer Church, although it declares openness and accessibility, remains if not as inaccessible as in the years of the first tsarist, and later Soviet power, then obviously not with wide open doors for everyone who wants and needs.

Those who come are not expelled from us and warmly received, as far as possible in communication with non-believers, but such meetings, it turns out, are designed only for those who live or are already close to the Old Believer church or active community, and what if not? If a person is hundreds of kilometers from the nearest corner of God, if he has only a random phone at hand, seen in a newspaper or on an Old Believer website that he accidentally met, but there is a desire to find out about one of the Old Believers, who is nearby, to come, chat, in a word, take the first step?

And here is a more symptomatic story that literally screams about the problem. The Ural Old Believer Sergiy Obikhod tells it: “In 2013, I lived and worked in a large Siberian city, where I met a guy, I will call him Alexei, who was very interested in the Old Believers. We met with him in a cafe. Seeing serious intentions and a keen interest in faith, I invited him to gather together for prayer. He agreed and on Sundays and holidays they began to pray at my house. Several times I tried to establish communication with the local community of the Russian Orthodox Church, called up the chairman, asked to be informed when and where they pray. back response for a long time did not have. Then, when they finally told me the address of the prayer house, I asked if I could come along with the guest? And got rejected. The chairman said: “Aleksey would be better off going to the priest first.” So “politely” refused. It turns out that a person who is interested in the Old Believers cannot communicate or pray live with the Old Believers?! But I couldn’t tell Alexei, they say, I’m going to pray with others, but you’ll excuse me.

Thank God, Alexei often travels to Chelyabinsk now. The temple in Miass is “only” 100 kilometers away. The doors of this temple are open to everyone, which is very pleasing. And on the feast of Easter today, my friend managed to pray in the church, to talk a little with the priest. Alexei's wife wants to be baptized, and then they get married. I hope that later they will be able to come to pray in the community of their city. It is not entirely clear why a person who wants to join the Church cannot pray with everyone. Things like this confuse and infuriate me. Caution - good quality but within reasonable limits. We have no right to doom the Old Believers to isolation. What kind of sermon can be discussed under such conditions?! If in the first centuries believers behaved this way, what would be left of the gospel of Christ? Agree that this case makes you think seriously. We need to talk about this, including with the clergy. And, probably, not to allow such an attitude towards those who want to be with us "...

Openness policy

And how can one not remember the deceased, who spoke with regret, in fact, about the same thing, and emphasized that the vast majority of Old Believer churches are located on the outskirts of cities or in such remote rural places that finding them is already akin to a great feat. And to get through, sometimes, is an unrealistic task. Of course, not at all because “the phone does not answer” - there is no it, this phone, in open access! And who needs him in the "closed"? I don’t think that it happened on purpose, but our communities and temples, formally open to people who are interested from the outside, remain de facto closed in the global sense of the word. But there was no one guide, and probably never will be.

About Orekhovo-Zuevo, I started not by chance. Last August, it became necessary for several Christians to find the coordinates of this community and personally contact the rector. And what do you think? I spent an hour and a half in these, as it turned out later, futile searches, found some contact numbers on the Internet, which, it turned out, had not been active for a long time. I’m even afraid to imagine what it’s like to look for Old Believer communities that are not closed from all bespriests, Pomeranians or chapels, but Belokrinitsky who are in excellent contact with the world, say, somewhere on Far East. Alas, we - the ROCC - have not developed any kind of our own contact center, where you could quickly get the necessary phones and addresses of churches, contact and discuss everything you need with brothers of the same faith.

I remember how in February 2014, when problems had already begun in neighboring Ukraine, I tried, through newspaper business, to find contacts for the community of our Church in Mama Ruska, in Crimea. I called all the phones available on the network, wrote to all available Internet addresses, and everything turned out to be in vain - no answer, no “good health”. And this despite the fact that I always have the Internet, mobile and landline communications at hand, in a word, there is everything that, it would seem, could at any time provide communication with any community in the country and even beyond its borders. Alas, all this is useless when there are no reference books, no virtual version of a kind of "yellow pages of the Old Believer Church" with one or another much-needed contact information. And, most likely, “on the ground” they don’t know about it at all, believing that if they don’t get a call, it means that no one has such a need.

Of course, I understand that it’s easier for me personally and, probably, it’s often much more important to find certain data than an old woman from some village, but experience shows that older people, among whom there are many active, traveling a lot or ready to decide what -Something church questions not by phone, but in person, communications are also necessary. old time accustomed us all to the fact that there are no Old Believers “on the surface”, but why is it that now, at a time of openness and freedom of religion, many “ours” for some reason live by the same principles of seclusion, secrecy, although this is not always useful for us and for those who are looking for us. By doing this, we ourselves cut off this modern, capable of working for us without anyone's constant participation, the element of preaching and what is called "You are welcome"! I feel that they will object to me: they say, whoever seeks will always find. But, excuse me, what efforts, obstacles?!

I also anticipate that main argument in the publication or non-publication of contact information, it will be that, they say, many churches of the Russian Orthodox Church store ancient objects of religious meaning, so it’s not worth giving phone numbers and addresses to potential intruders on purpose. Well, there is a rational grain in this, but then it remains only to wish everyone who will someday seek the necessary contacts of communities and parishes - their own and others - good luck in solving puzzles and correctly hitting the sky with a finger.

There is an exit?

And yet, I personally really hope that the rubric "" on the portal "Russian Faith" will be able to fill the existing vacuum and become a full-fledged reference book with all the necessary information about communities and churches. But for this to be possible, the will of the diocesan bishops, deans, rectors and chairmen of the communities is necessary, on whom in this case depends on literally- All.

In the meantime, we have what we have: the former isolation, the lack of a full-fledged background information about ourselves, and those who are looking for us in vain. Although, what do we sinners have to do with it ??? They are looking for God… How would we then, because of this closeness, not have to answer for our deeds. Rather, for inaction.
