Not a sermonizing of morals emerges from this, which in itself would be easy, but through this, man gets to know the source of evil and evil in the spiritual world, and this and a further urge for knowledge will lead him ever deeper and more thoroughly out of the sensual world and into the supersensible world, as its cause. Spiritual science is able to point out that all evil, all pain and suffering, will remain a mystery to human knowledge as long as their sources are seen only in the world of the senses. Only spiritual science can throw a true light on human life and on all human activity, since it calls back to the origin, which is not really present in the sense world, but teaches the correct form of evil only by showing it in its good origin, which it has in the spiritual world. To summarize, we can present what has been said today in human perception as follows: Much in the world will remain hidden to the seeking soul that does not want to go beyond the physical world in its research; it can easily fall into despair if it does not have the courage to penetrate to the very foundations where life's greatest mysteries lie hidden, to their source in the spiritual world. Spiritual science will lead people more and more to the solution of what oppresses them in their souls. They will be able to come to terms with their existence in the most diverse life situations if they know that evil and ills have their origin not only in the sense world but above all in the supersensible world, recognizing them as the germ of a better future, influenced from the spiritual world, which is also the home of their soul.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"18.

Nicht ein Moral-Predigen geht daraus hervor, was an sich ja leicht sein würde, sondern der Mensch lernt dadurch die Quelle des Bösen und der Übel in der geistigen Welt kennen, und dieser und ein weiterer Drang nach Erkenntnis wird ihn immer tiefer und gründlicher aus der sinnlichen in die übersinnliche Welt, als deren Ursache, hineinführen. Die Geisteswissenschaft ist imstande, darauf hinzuweisen, dass alles Böse, die Übel und Schmerzen, so lange Rätsel bleiben werden für die menschliche Erkenntnis, als ihre Quellen nur in der Sinneswelt gesehen werden. Nur die Geisteswissenschaft kann ein richtiges Licht auf das menschliche Leben und auf alles menschliche Handeln werfen, da sie ja zu dem Ursprunge zurückruft, der nicht in der Sinneswelt real vorhanden ist, sondern das Übel in seiner richtigen Gestalt erst dadurch kennen lehrt, dass sie es in seinem guten Ursprunge zeigt, den es in der geistigen Welt hat. Zusammenfassend können wir das heute Gesagte in der menschlichen Empfindung so darstellen: Vieles in der Welt wird der suchenden Seele verborgen bleiben, die in ihrem Forschen nicht über die physische Welt hinausgehen will; sie kann leicht in Verzweiflung geraten, wenn sie nicht den Mut hat, zu den Urgründen vorzudringen, in denen des Lebens größte Rätsel verborgen liegen, zu ihrem Quell in der geistigen Welt. Die Geisteswissenschaft wird den Menschen immer mehr der Lösung über das entgegenführen, was ihn in seiner Seele bedrückt, er wird sich in den verschiedenartigsten Lebenslagen mit seinem Dasein abfinden können, wenn er für das Böse und die Übel den Ursprung nicht nur in der Sinneswelt, sondern vor allem in der übersinnlichen Welt weiß, sie als Keim einer besseren Zukunft erkennt, beeinflusst aus der geistigen Welt, die auch die Heimat seiner Seele ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":292,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/69d/1914-03-29/p018"}],"english":["GA 69d/1914-03-29/p018"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":292,"en_words":312,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4720,"original_word_count":4546,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Death and Immortality in the Light of Spiritual Science","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA069d/English/SOL2024/19140329p01.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.
