To Mathilde Scholl in Cologne

Berlin, August 4, 1907

My dear Mathilde Scholl!

Your letter is a fine example of seeking the center of your being within yourself; continue in this way, achieve what you set as your goal. The light that spiritual science gives man is such that it can illuminate all his actions and thoughts, as well as all his relationships with other people. He will only find the right way to relate to these other people when he views his relationships in this light. Then nothing can be dangerous to him, whatever form this or that may take on the outside. Our life conditions will not become colder if we allow this light to fall on them. But we can easily get on the wrong track if we have once placed ourselves in this light and then do not allow everything to be illuminated by it. So look at things as they are now and continue in this way. Your niece is on the right path. Enclose a few words of advice for her."

Please accept my warmest greetings and best thoughts.

Yours always,

Dr. Rudolf Steiner

Kind regards to the Künstlers.
