12. Spiritual Science as a Life's Work

Of course, there are many objections that can be raised here as well. Above all, it could be argued that some people, in their opinion, do not find enough love in those who are engaged in spiritual science. But here, people must rise to the challenge of realizing that something that may appear unloving here or there may in fact be quite loving. For example, if someone, out of a misguided instinct or pure selfishness, does something unpleasant, and is rebuked out of a healthy instinct, this may be a better expression of love than many words that might be “loving” at such a moment, but would do nothing to help except to aggravate the situation that caused the person concerned to commit this or that error. — But the right, true experience will show that no one who is imbued with spiritual science remains unaffected by its influence in terms of the development of love.
