If a human being could only live in the spirit world, then he/she would only be able to develop inner faculties because of the law which must be valid: “When a rose decorates itself, It also decorates the garden”; he/she could not develop those faculties that would bring him/her together with other people, and with the whole world as a benefactor. We must find our abode in the physical world that enables us to overcome selfishness. Otherwise we have no duty to be benefactors in the world, except when we fundamentally educate ourselves away from selfishness, if I may use a trivial expression.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"7.

Könnte der Mensch nur in der geistigen Welt leben, so würde er, weil das Gesetz gelten muß: «Wenn die Rose selbst sich schmückt, schmückt sie auch den Garten», nur die inneren Fähigkeiten entwickeln können; er könnte nicht jene Fähigkeiten entwickeln, die ihn als Altruisten mit den Menschen, mit der weiten Welt zusammenbringen.
