2nd PRAECEPTOR: You can only speak in this way, Because you are unaware of the confusion of the world's course. Genuine truth has its own foundation; But whether it can find its way into human souls, That does not depend on it alone, These souls must take care of that. The truth may be ripe at a certain time, But without mindfulness, People may pass it by. Then it may be for a long time That the light is hidden, And people remain in darkness to the detriment of the world's progress, Longer than they should according to the world's plan. That the eyes of the spirit should be sharpened, To make people powerful guardians Of the new light, It is necessary that the strong impulses, Which only the breath from our temple Is able to awaken, Carry enthusiasm in human hearts.
