The animals go around and get their food, so far as there is any, according to their implanted instincts. If there is not enough, they must starve. In what way is man better off? He *works* on the production of food. At the moment he begins to work, thought begins; and only when thought begins, does the social question begin also. If a man is to work, he must have an incentive for it; and the incentives that have existed up to the present time will no longer exist in the future. *New* incentives will be required for work; and the question is not at all a matter of everything's being all right when the people work again—no; but when, arising from a feeling of world-responsibility, men shall have thoughts which sustain their souls, then the forces proceeding from these thoughts will be carried over from hand to will, and work will result. Everything depends upon *thoughts*, and thoughts themselves depend upon our opening our *hearts* to the impulses of the spiritual world. Of *responsibility* and of the significance of thoughts much must be said in our time. Therefore I wished in this lecture to lay stress upon just this aspect.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.
