Truly, spiritual science is not meant to be a sentimental consolation for the pains of life; spiritual science cannot make a person a shallow person. Whatever causes us pain must cause us pain, that is salutary; for pain hardens us for life, pain hardens our strength. Thus spiritual science does not seek to gloss over pain. On the contrary, one will penetrate even deeper into it, one will have to savor its essence to the full, especially when one has become spiritually enlightened. But just as we can gain strength of will and mind from happiness, so from pain there will come a strengthening of knowledge, the certainty of knowledge, and the strengthening and certainty of another part of the mind, more than can be gained from happiness. Just as the man who dies a martyr's death to the sorrows of life shows us, in a wonderfully moving way, the victory of the light over the darkness of life, so man, by bringing his spirit-conscious self into pain, perceives how the spiritually aware self rises above the pain, but, in rising above it, becomes ever more radiant and radiant and is filled with that light that is a beacon in the storm of life and in the struggle for existence.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Wahrhaftig, nicht ein sentimentales Trostmittel für des Lebens Schmerzen soll Geisteswissenschaft werden; nicht zum Flachling kann die Geisteswissenschaft den Menschen machen. Was uns Schmerz bereitet, das muß uns Schmerz bereiten, das ist heilsam; denn es stählt der Schmerz das Leben, es stählt der Schmerz die Kraft. Also nicht über den Schmerz hinwegheben will die Geisteswissenschaft. Im Gegenteil; man wird noch tiefer in ihn hineindringen, man wird sein Wesen so recht auskosten müssen, gerade wenn man geisterkennend geworden ist. Aber wie uns aus dem Glück die Stärkung des Willens und des Gemütes kommen kann, so wird aus dem Schmerz herausdringen die Stärkung der Erkenntnis, die Sicherheit der Erkenntnis, und die Stärkung und Sicherheit eines anderen Teiles des Gemütes, mehr, als es durch das Glück sein kann. Wie der, welcher als Märtyrer über den Schmerz des Lebens dahinstirbt, uns wunderbar ergreifend den Sieg des Lichtes über die Finsternis des Lebens zeigt, so nimmt der Mensch, indem er sein geistbewußtes Ich in den Schmerz hineinträgt, selber wahr, wie das geistbewußte Ich sich erhebt über den Schmerz, aber, indem es sich über ihn erhebt, immer leuchtender und leuchtender wird und sich mit jenem Lichte erfüllt, das da eine Leuchte ist im Lebenssturm und im Daseinskampf.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":209,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/64/1915-01-15/p025"}],"english":["GA 64/1915-01-15/p025"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":209,"en_words":217,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9274,"original_word_count":8779,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From a Fateful Time","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA064/English/SOL2024/19150115p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
