The members of the second Indian caste—the Warrior caste—were those who then chiefly attained to power in Europe. Where the wise teachers—that is, those who corresponded to the Indian Brahmins—entirely withdrew, and gave their counsels from hidden sanctuaries, the Warriors came out among the people, in order to improve and uplift them according to the counsels of those ancient European priests. It was this second caste that wielded the greatest power in Europe in primeval times, but in their way of life they were guided by the wise teachers who remained hidden. Thus it came about that the leading personalities in Europe were those who shone by virtue of the qualities of which we spoke yesterday—valour and bravery. Whereas in India, wisdom was held in the highest esteem and the Brahmins were revered because they explained the sacred writing; in Europe bravery and valour were the most valued and the people only knew of the divine mysteries through those who were filled with valour and bravery. The civilisation of Europe continued under these influences for thousands of years and gradually souls were improved and uplifted. In Europe, where souls existed who were the successors of the people who had undergone temptation, no real appreciation of the caste system of India could develop. The souls were mingled and interwoven. A division, a differentiation into castes such as existed in India did not arise. The division was rather between those who guided in an upper class, who acted as leaders in various directions, and the class that was led. The latter consisted principally of souls who had to struggle upward.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"Moral Impulses: From Atlantean Fall to Francis of Assisi","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.

Daher kam es, daß in Europa vorhanden waren versuchte Seelen, welche den moralischen Zusammenhalt verloren hatten, und daß unter ihnen wirkte eine Weisheit aus tief verborgenen Quellen heraus. Aber auch die anderen Kasten, die nach Indien gezogen waren, hatten Angehörige zurückgelassen in Europa. Die Angehörigen der zweiten indischen Kaste, der Krieger, das waren diejenigen, welche in Europa vorzugsweise jetzt zur Macht gelangten. Während sich die Weisen, also diejenigen, die den Brahminen in Indien entsprechen, ganz zurückhielten und von verborgenen Stätten aus ihre Ratschläge gaben, zogen jene in das Volk hinaus, um es zu verbessern nach den Ratschlägen jener uralten europäischen Priester. Es zogen in das Volk hinaus diejenigen, die kriegerischen Sinn hatten. Diese zweite Kaste hatte die größte Macht in den uralten Zeiten in Europa, aber sie lebten so, daß sie ihre Führung von den verborgen bleibenden Weisen erhielten. So kam es, daß gerade die tonangebenden, die wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten in Europa diejenigen waren, die durch solche Eigenschaften glänzten, wie sie gestern besprochen wurden, durch Starkmut und Tapferkeit. Während also in Indien die Weisheit aufs höchste glänzte bei den Brahminen, dadurch, daß sie auslegten die heiligen Schriften, war es in Europa so, daß der Starkmut, die Tapferkeit am meisten geschätzt wurde und die Menschen nur wußten, wo sie die göttlichen Geheimnisse zu holen hatten, von denen sie dann die Tapferkeit, den Starkmut durchströmen lassen mußten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":231,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/155/1912-05-29/p013"},{"locus":"GA 155/1912-05-29/p014","passage_number":14,"text":"So sehen wir Jahrtausende und Aberjahrtausende die Kultur Europas dahinfließen und sehen, wie die Seelen nach und nach verbessert und emporgehoben werden.
