The racial spirit is one step higher; as the redeeming word, what comes out is what corresponds to manas in man, and that is Budhi, the Word. So that the whole fifth root race urges to reveal the word of Christ. Every time in the interstices between the five sub-races under consideration, the message of the coming Christ is proclaimed anew, and this proclamation is called the Gospel for the whole root race. And the blessed race spirit between the fifth sub-race of the fourth root race and the first of the fifth root race is called Matthew; the second, between the first and second sub-race: Mark; the third, between the second and third: Luke; and the fourth, between the third and fourth sub-race: John. That is why it always says \"according to Matthew.\" That's why there are four Gospels, because there are four intermediate states, four Good News between the [five] sub-races.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"17.
