But the changes of form took place in a different way during the transition from the Persian to the Egyptian epoch from what they did in that from the Egyptian to the Graeco-Latin; still an external change of form did take place. In yet another manner took place the transition from the Ancient Indian to the Persian, but there too there was an external change of form. Indeed it was simply a change of form which occurred when the passing-over from the old Atlantis itself into the Post-Atlantean ages took place. A change of form: and we could follow this by holding fast to the designations of the Sankhya philosophy, we can follow it simply by saying: The soul goes through its experiences within these forms, but the soul itself is not altered thereby, Purusha remains undisturbed. Thus we have a particular sort of transformation which can be described by Sankhya philosophy according to its own conceptions. But behind this transforming there is Purusha, the individual part of the soul of every man. The Sankhya philosophy only says of this that there is an individual soul-part which is related through the three Gunas-Sattva, Rajas and Tamas—with external form. But this soul-part is not itself affected by the external forms; Purusha is behind them all and we are directed to the soul itself; a continual indication of the soul itself is what meets us in the teaching of—Krishna, in what he as Lord of Yoga teaches. Yes, certainly I but the nature of this soul is not given us in the way of knowledge. Directions as to how to develop the soul is the highest we are shown; alteration of the external forms; no change in the soul itself, only an introductory note.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture IV","site_heading":"Krishna and Christ: Transforming Human Evolution's Spiritual Foundation","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.

In anderer Weise war der Übergang vom urindischen Zeitalter zum persischen, aber es war auch ein Formenwandel. Ja, ein Formenwandel bloß war es, als sich der Übergang vollzog von der alten Atlantis selber in die nachatlantischen Zeiten. Formenwandel war das. Und man könnte ihn verfolgen, indem man sich ganz nur an die Bestimmungen der Sankhyaphilosophie hält, man könnte ihn verfolgen, indem man einfach sagt: In diesen Formen lebt sich die Seele aus, aber an diese Seele selber geht es nicht heran, Purusha bleibt unberührt. — So haben wir eine eigentümliche Art von Wandel, der durch die Sankhyaphilosophie charakterisiert werden kann, mit den Begriffen der Sankhyaphilosophie. Aber hinter diesem Wandel steht Purusha, steht das individuell Seelenhafte jedes Menschen. Davon wird nur gesagt in der Sankhyaphilosophie, daß es als individuell Seelenhaftes im Verhältnis der drei Gunas Sattva, Rajas, Tamas, eben zu den äußeren Formen steht. Aber dieses Seelische wird nicht berührt von den äußeren Formen. Purusha steht hinter ihnen und wir werden hingewiesen auf das Seelische; und ein fortwährender Hinweis auf das Seelische ist es, wenn uns die Lehre des Krishna vor die Seele tritt in demjenigen, was er als der Herr des Yoga lehrt.
