Then a temptation can approach the teacher – we know that this temptation can approach. And if I may tell you my own conviction in this regard – my dear audience: when you are in the middle of what spiritual research is about, there is actually nothing more repugnant than what could somehow be called personal adoration or the like. Even though the people who want to slander you keep pointing to such stuff. That is not at all what it is really like; it is actually something that you fundamentally find very repulsive. If you are even a little advanced on the path – which spiritual science indicates – then the truth cannot escape you. The truth cannot escape one that to the same extent as one exercises an unauthorized power, one loses the ability to recognize. That is just the way it is, that is an objective fact, and one recognizes it when one walks the path in spiritual science, through direct experiential knowledge.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Es kann dann eine Versuchung herantreten an den Lehrenden — das weiß man ja, dass diese Versuchung herantreten kann. Und wenn ich Ihnen da meine eigene Überzeugung sagen darf — meine sehr verehrten Anwesenden: Es wird einem, wenn man darin steht in dem, um was es sich handelt bei der Geistesforschung, eigentlich nichts mehr zuwider als das, was man irgendwie persönliche Anbetung oder dergleichen nennen könnte. Wenn auch die Leute, die einen verleumden wollen, immerfort auf solches Zeug hindeuten. Das entspricht durchaus nicht der Wirklichkeit; es ist das tatsächlich etwas, was einem im Grunde genommen sehr zuwider ist. Wenn man nur selber ein wenig fortgeschritten ist auf dem Weg — den ja die Geisteswissenschaft andeutet —, so kann sich einem dann die Wahrheit entringen. Es kann die Wahrheit einem nicht entgehen, dass [man] in demselben Maße, indem man eine unberechtigte Macht ausübt, die Erkenntnisfähigkeit verliert. Das ist nun einmal so, das ist eine objektive Tatsache, und man erkennt sie, wenn man den Weg in der Geisteswissenschaft geht, geht durch unmittelbare Erlebnis-Erfahrung.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":236,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/80b/1921-01-28/p099"}],"english":["GA 80b/1921-01-28/p099"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":236,"en_words":245,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":17469,"original_word_count":17257,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Inner Nature and Essence of the Human Soul","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA080b/English/SOL2024/19210128p01.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.
