Asia, especially India, still retains, I would say, an ancient world view in which the human being has also tried to come to that from the depths of his being, which as divine-spiritual flows through, works through and lives through the world. But how does the Asian and the descendant of this ancient Asian, the present-day Indian, attempt to make the divine-spiritual activity and flow in the world present in their own soul being? By attenuating and paralyzing the soul and paralyzing the I. The I must be extinguished so that the human being can give themselves over to the general flow of Brahman. This is the ancient striving for a world picture, I would say, the primeval striving for a world picture. Characteristic of this is that the ego is tuned down, paralyzed to the point of extinction, so that what the human being experiences in his ego does not stand in the way when he wants to revive in his soul that which flows through the world in a divine-spiritual way, giving it soul. To extinguish himself so that the Divine may work in him, that is the ideal of this Pan-Asiatic world picture.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.

Asien bewahrt ja in seinem Weltenbild, insbesondere in Indien bewahrt es noch - ich möchte sagen - ein uraltes Weltenbild, wo der Mensch versucht hat, auch zu dem zu kommen - aus dem Inneren seines Wesens zu dem zu kommen -, was als Göttlich-Geistiges die Welt durchflutet, durchwirkt und durchlebt. Aber wodurch versucht das der Asiate und der Nachzügler dieses alten Asiaten, der heutige Inder - wodurch versuchen sie das göttlich-geistige Wirken und Fluten in der Welt im eigenen Seelenwesen gegenwärtig zu machen? Dadurch, dass sie herabdämpfen, herablähmen das Seelische, herablähmen das Ich; das Ich muss ausgelöscht werden, dann kann der Mensch sich hingeben dem allgemeinen Fluten des Brahman. - Das ist das alte Streben nach dem Weltenbilde - ich möchte sagen -, das urarische Streben nach einem Weltenbilde. Charakteristisch dafür ist, dass das Ich herabgestimmt, herabgelähmt wird bis zum Auslöschen, damit dasjenige, was der Mensch in seinem Ich erlebt, sich ihm nicht in den Weg stellt, wenn er aufleben lassen will in seiner Seele dasjenige, was göttlich-geistig die Welt durchflutet und durchseelt.
