The culture of ancient India preserved this through its highest representatives. The Hindoo did not seek to enhance his consciousness, but he dimmed it down to a dreamy state, and this explains the passivity of the Hindoo character. It would be a great disadvantage, indeed harmful, if modern culture were to take hold in a greater measure of life in India.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XI.

Die fortgeschrittensten Lehrer, die da mit hinunterzogen, die ersten großen Lehrer des alten Indien, sie nennt man die alten indischen Rishis. Die heutigen Inder sind die Nachkommen jener alten Bevölkerung, aber wir müssen weit zurückgehen in Zeiten, die dunkel vor der Geschichtsbetrachtung liegen, wenn wir die Spuren ihrer Kultur treffen wollen. Die Veden gehören schon einer späteren Zeit an; denn damals zeichnete man noch nichts auf. Das alte indische Volk stellt die erste Kulturgruppe nach der atlantischen Zeit dar; daher standen sie auch dem Atlantier noch am nächsten. Der Atlantier war eine Art Träumer; dumpf war sein Bewußtsein, nichts hatte er an Urteilskraft und Selbstbewußtsein; wie ein Träumer, halb unbewußt ging er umher. Die alten Inder waren die ersten, die diesen Zustand überwunden hatten, die aber doch noch halb darinnen wurzelten. Daher hatte der alte Inder in sich die Sehnsucht nach dem Erleben des alten Geisterlandes und jenem Schauen, das den Atlantiern noch eigen war. Die alte indische Jogaschulung bestand noch darin, daß sie in einer Art von Herabdämpfen des Bewußtseins den Menschen zurückversetzte in die Zeit, wo die Menschen noch die Geister um sich herum geschaut haben. Nach dieser Zeit des Hellsehens der alten Atlantier sehnte sich der Inder zurück, und die Rishis lehrten ihn in ihrer Jogaschulung die Methoden, die jetzt aber doch in einer andern Weise ausgebildet wurden. Der Atlantier hatte noch nicht die Urteilskraft entwickelt; in Indien hatte man schon Urteilskraft, aber man liebte sozusagen das, was man überwunden hatte, und man wußte es wieder hervorzurufen, das Bewußtsein herabzudämpfen und sich wieder zu erinnern an das, was man früher geschaut hatte. In ihren höchsten Repräsentanten hat sich die indische Kultur das noch bewahrt. Der Inder suchte sein Bewußtsein nicht zu erhöhen, sondern es traumhaft herabzudämpfen; daher das Untätige des indischen Wesens. Und es wäre ein grober Nachteil, sogar schädlich, wenn in höherem Grade das indische Leben die heutige Kultur ergriffe.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":340,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-26/p018"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-26/p034","GA 100/1907-06-26/p035","GA 100/1907-06-26/p036"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":340,"en_words":376,"ratio":1.11,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.09,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5938,"original_word_count":5438,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"ANS1942","book_title":"Theosophy and Rosicrucianism","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA100/English/ANS1942/19070626p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
