Spiritual science will work to ensure that the soul recognizes its true nature, that people do not fall prey to this word, not even in their minds or feelings, even if they do not dare to utter it, no matter how many opponents it may have today. Even if it is still the case that many prejudices are being expressed against spiritual science today, it is nevertheless true that What can give certainty and inner peace with regard to the continuing work of spiritual science, with regard to the “finding of the soul's own essence,” may be clothed in words of this certainty, this peace with regard to the goals of spiritual science, in what I have to say in conclusion, in which I would like to bring together, as in a feeling, the whole meaning of what I have tried to explain to you this evening.
