And with this inner gladness let me express my heartfelt thanks for the cordial words addressed to me by Professor Hauffen at the beginning of this evening's session. I thank you for your welcome and for the way in which your souls have responded during my presence here. And you may rest assured that Professor Hauffen's words will remain with me as a wellspring of the thoughts which I shall constantly send you and which will be with you alike when you achieve your aims and when you are working here. Even when we are separated from one another in space we are, as Anthroposophists, together in our hearts, and this should be known and remembered. For many years I have been privileged to speak in Prague of different aspects of the spiritual life and it has always been a source of satisfaction to me. Particularly is it so on this occasion, because the demands made upon your hearts and souls have been relatively new, because this time you have had to receive with an even greater open mindedness what I had to say to you in discharging a spiritual commission. When I say ‘spiritual commission,' let us take these words to imply that in the spirit we remain together. The aim before us will be achieved if friends work together with all their hearts, if, above all, they remain united in Anthroposophical thinking, feeling and willing.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture IV","site_heading":"Karma Across Incarnations: Garibaldi, Byron, Marx","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 aus dieser innigen Befriedigung heraus lassen Sie mich meinen herzlichsten Dank aussprechen für die warmen, innigen Worte, die Herr Professor Hauffen heute im Beginn dieser Stunde hier ausgesprochen hat. Ich danke herzlich für Ihren Empfang, danke herzlich für alles, was Ihre Seelen mir entgegengebracht haben bei dieser meiner Anwesenheit. Und Sie können überzeugt sein, daß ich die schönen Worte, die Herr Professor Hauffen gesprochen hat, in der Seele mittragen werde, daß aus ihnen quellen werden die Gedanken, die ich Ihnen immer zusenden werde und die, wenn sie ihr Ziel erreichen, unter Ihnen weilen werden, wenn Sie hier arbeiten. Wir sind ja als Anthroposophen, auch wenn wir voneinander räumlich entfernt sind, im Gemüt doch beisammen, und wir sollen ja dessen eingedenk sein und es wissen, daß wir beisammen sind. Es war mir ja viele Jahre vergönnt, hier in Prag zu sprechen aus den mannigfaltigsten Gestaltungen des geistigen Lebens heraus, und es hatte mir zur herzlichen Befriedigung gereicht. Und diesmal ganz besonders, weil ja an Ihre Herzen und Seelen Anforderungen gestellt wurden, die verhältnismäßig neu sind, weil Sie mit einer noch größeren Vorurteilslosigkeit demjenigen entgegenkommen mußten, was ich diesmal - ich möchte sagen in geistigem Auftrage - zu Ihnen zu sprechen hatte, Wenn ich sage, in geistigem Auftrage, so legen wir das Wort dahin aus, daß wir uns sagen: Im Geiste bleiben wir beieinander.
