The one was best understood by the ancient Rishis. To them was revealed the intuition of beings of a higher order, the so-called Devas.[^12] He who has undergone occult training and can carry out investigations into these matters will know what Devas are. These purely spiritual beings, of the Astral or Mental Plane, have a twofold inner nature, whereas man's nature is threefold. For man consists of body, soul and spirit, but the Deva nature—as far as can be investigated—consists only of soul and spirit. It may possess other members, but we are unable to find them, even by occult means. The Deva is an ensouled spirit. The impulses, emotions, desires and wishes which live invisibly within man, but are seen as light effects by the seer, these soul powers, this soul body, which constitutes man's inner being, supported by the physical body, is the lowest body which the Devas possess. We can regard it as their body. The intuitive faculty of the Indian was concerned mainly with the worshipping of these Devas. The man of India sees these Devas all around. He sees them as creating powers when he penetrates the veil of outward appearance. This intuition is fundamental to the outlook on life of the peoples of the Southern Zone! It is expressed most powerfully in the Egyptians' conception of the world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Die eine ist am reinsten aufgegangen den uralten Rishis. Ihnen ging auf die Intuition höhergearteter Wesen: der sogenannten Devas. Wer eine okkulte Schulung durchgemacht hat, wer forschen kann auf diesem Gebiete, der weiß, was Devas sind. Diese rein spirituellen Wesenheiten, die im Astral- und Mentalraum leben, haben eine zweifache Natur, während die Menschen eine dreifache Natur haben. Denn der Mensch besteht aus Leib, Seele und Geist. Die Devanatur aber besteht - soweit wir sie verfolgen können - nur aus Seele und Geist. Sie mag noch andere Glieder haben, aber wir können sie selbst mit okkulter Schulung nicht verfolgen. Ein Deva hat in seinem Inneren unmittelbar den Geist. Der Deva ist ein seelenbegabter Geist. Was Sie beim Menschen nicht sehen können, nämlich die Begierden, Triebe, Leidenschaften und Wünsche, die in ihm leben, die aber für den, der seine spirituellen Sinne erschlossen hat, wahrnehmbar sind als Lichterscheinungen, diese Seelenkräfte, dieser Seelenleib des Menschen, der für den Menschen sein Inneres ist und getragen wird von unserem physischen Leib, das ist der unterste Leib der Devas. Wir können ihn als ihren Körper ansehen. Die indische Intuition ging vorzugsweise auf die Verehrung dieser Devas. Der Inder sieht diese Devas überall. Er sieht sie als die schaffenden Kräfte, wenn er hinter die Kulissen unserer Welterscheinungen blickt. Diese Intuition liegt dem südlichen Weltanschauungsgürtel zugrunde. In der Weltanschauung Ägyptens kommt sie groß und gewaltig zum Ausdruck.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":249,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93/1904-05-23/p011"}],"english":["GA 93/1904-05-23/p011"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":249,"en_words":240,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.47,"band":"fuller_than_original","note":"This witness is longer than the original — paraphrastic or padded.
