In the future, this sense of the world will have to be developed as well: the laboratory bench will have to become an altar. The service to nature that is being developed, even in chemical experimentation, must be conscious of the fact that the great cosmic law is present over the laboratory table whenever one dissolves any substance with another in order to obtain a precipitate or the like. One must feel at home in the whole universe, then one will go about it differently, and then something quite different will be found from what people have found today, which is great but will not be able to bear the right fruit because it is found without reverence, without the feeling that permeates the harmony of the universe. How many people have abstracted what was called the music of the spheres in Pythagoras! Here you have a sense of the music of the spheres in the experience of the rhythm that runs through the universe. You don't have to imagine anything abstract, but something that goes into the living feeling (see note).","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Man wird in der Zukunft dieses Weltgefühl hinzuentwickeln müssen: der Laboratoriumstisch wird zum Altar werden müssen. Der Naturdienst, den man entwickelt, selbst im chemischen Experiment, wird sich bewußt sein müssen, daß das große Weltengesetz über den Laboratoriumstisch läuft, wenn man irgendeinen Stoff mit einem anderen löst, um den Niederschlag zu bekommen oder dergleichen. In dem ganzen Universum wird man sich drinnen fühlen müssen, dann wird man anders zu Werke gehen, und dann wird noch ganz anderes gefunden werden, als was die Leute heute gefunden haben, was groß ist, aber nicht die rechte Frucht wird tragen können, weil es ohne Ehrfurcht gefunden wird, ohne das Gefühl, das sich durchdringt mit der Harmonie des Universums. Wieviel Leute haben abstrahiert das, was man Sphärenmusik bei Pythagoras genannt hat! Hier haben Sie ein Gefühl von der Sphärenmusik im Erleben des Rhythmus, der durch das Weltenall geht.
