So, wie die Pflanze aus der Erde entsteht, das Tier sich ernährt von der Pflanze, so ist der Mensch für seine stoffliche Entwicklung abhängig von Tier, Pflanze und anorganischen Stoffen. Der Schüler musste sich in Demut niederbeugen zu Tier, Pflanze und Mineral und zu jedem von ihnen sagen: Ich danke dir, dass du mein Dasein möglich machst. - Wenn dieses Gefühl von christlicher Demut in ihm lebendig wurde, dann entstand in ihm ein Bewusstseinszustand, der symbolisch wiedergegeben wird durch die Fußwaschung der zwölf Apostel durch Christus, wie dies Johannes (13. Kapitel) beschreibt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":111,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/111/1908-03-07/p006"},{"locus":"GA 111/1908-03-07/p007","passage_number":7,"text":"Zweitens musste er lernen, unerschütterlich stehen zu bleiben inmitten von Leiden, Schmerzen und in der Bitterkeit des Lebens.

Nicht der Welt entfliehen durfte er, sondern seinen Körper als ein kräftiges Instrument, um das Leid der Welt zu tragen, in der Welt herumtragen.
