If we endeavour to translate his teaching into modern language, we can say that he taught his pupils as follows.—He said to them: When you look upwards to the Sun you are aware of the beneficial warmth and light streaming from it to the Earth; but if you develop higher organs, if you develop your faculty of spiritual perception, you can become aware of the Sun Being behind the physical Sun and its life; and then you become aware of the workings of the sound-ether and within these the essence of life!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Cosmic Evolution and the Hebrew Lineage of Christ","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Und wenn wir seine Lehre in eine Sprache übersetzen wollen, die von unseren heutigen Worten genommen ist, so können wir sagen, er hat seine Schüler folgendes gelehrt: Wenn ihr hinaufschaut zur Sonne, so nehmt ihr die wohltätige Wärme wahr und das wohltätige Licht, das der Erde zustrahlt; wenn ihr aber höhere Organe entwickelt, wenn ihr geistiges Wahrnehmen entwickelt, so könnt ihr das Sonnenwesen wahrnehmen, das hinter dem physischen Sonnenleben ist; und dann nehmt ihr wahr Klangeswirkungen und in den Klangeswirkungen Lebenssinn! - Was so als Geistiges hinter den physischen Sonnenwirkungen als Nächstes wahrzunehmen war, das bezeichnete Zarathustra für seine Schüler als Ormuzd, als Ahura Mazdao, als die Große Aura der Sonne. Wir werden es daher begreiflich finden, daß man in der Übersetzung das Wort Ahura Mazdao auch die «große Weisheit» nennen kann, im Gegensatz zu dem, was der Mensch heute in sich als die kleine Weisheit entwickelt.
