In ordinary life he is impelled to action by exterior motives. He works at one occupation or another because one duty or another is imposed on him by outward circumstances. It need hardly be mentioned that the student must in no way neglect any of his duties in ordinary life because he is living and working in higher worlds. There is no duty in a higher world that can force a person to neglect any single one of his duties in the ordinary world. The father will remain just as good a father to his family, the mother just as good a mother, and neither the official nor the soldier, nor anyone else will be diverted from his work by becoming an esoteric student. On the contrary, all the qualities which make a human being capable and efficient are enhanced in the student to a degree incomprehensible to the uninitiated. If, in the eyes of the uninitiated, this does not always appear to be the case, it is simply because he often lacks the ability to judge the initiate correctly. The deeds of the latter are not always intelligible to the former. But this only happens in special cases.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Initiation","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":226,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/10/c02-4/p013","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:structural_identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":null,"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["HR1960","MAC1909","RSPC1947"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/10/l03/p013","locus":"GA 10/l03/p013","anchor_mapped":true,"anchor_method":"curated","anchor_confidence":"high"},{"lang":"en","edition":"RSPC1947","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/10/c02-4/p013","paragraph_aligned":true},{"lang":"en","edition":"HR1960","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":false,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/10/l06/p013?edition=HR1960","locus":"GA 10/l06/p013","anchor_mapped":true,"anchor_method":"curated","anchor_confidence":"high"}],"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l03","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 10/l03/p013","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/10/l03/p013"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":214,"en_words":226,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Durch diese muß sich erweisen, ob er sich frei und sicher in der höheren Welt bewegen kann. Im gewöhnlichen Leben wird der Mensch durch Antriebe von außen zu seinen Handlungen bewogen. Er arbeitet dieses oder jenes, weil ihm die Verhältnisse diese oder jene Pflichten auferlegen. – Es braucht wohl kaum erwähht zu werden, daß der Geheimschüler keine seiner Pflichten im gewöhnlichen Leben versäumen darf, *weil* er in höheren Welten lebt. Keine Pflicht in einer höheren Welt kann jemanden zwingen, eine einzige seiner Pflichten in der gewöhnlichen außer acht zu lassen. Der Familienvater bleibt ebenso guter Familienvater, die Mutter ebenso gute Mutter, der Beamte wird von nichts abgehalten, ebensowenig der Soldat oder ein anderer, wenn sie Geheimschüler werden. Im Gegenteil: alle die Eigenschaften, die den Menschen im Leben tüchtig machen, steigern sich bei dem Geheimschüler in einem Maße, von dem sich der Uneingeweihte keinen Begriff machen kann. Und wenn das dem Uneingeweihten auch oft – nicht immer, sogar selten – nicht so erscheint, dann rührt das nur davon her, daß er den Eingeweihten nicht immer richtig zu beurteilen vermag. Was letzterer tut, ist manchmal dem anderen nicht sogleich durchsichtig.
