Thus, the law underlying the plan of a state is external law. Mankind is under Moses' rod. And anyone who follows a moral code out of fear or in hope of reward, is only following the external law. Moreover, whoever looks at science only in an external way, is only following external law; for what else can there [then] be in it but external laws! All the laws we are acquainted with in science are such external laws; through them, however, we will never find that way through to higher human nature, but will only follow the law of the Old Covenant, which is the Rod of Moses. However, this external law should be a model for the inner law. Man must learn inwardly to follow law. This inner law must become for man the impulse of life; out of the inner law he must learn to follow external law. One does not make the inner law reality by concocting a plan; instead one has to build the Temple out of inner impulse, so that the soul streams forth in the work of joining the stones together. He who lives in the inner law is not the one who merely follows the laws of the state, but he to whom they are the impulse of his life, because his soul is immersed in them. And it is not he who follows a moral code out of fear or because of reward who is a moral person, but he who follows it because he loves it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"13.

Aber ein Vorbild sollte dieses äußere Gesetz sein für das innere Gesetz. Der Mensch soll lernen, dem Gesetz im Inneren zu folgen. Es muß dieses innere Gesetz der Impuls des Lebens werden beim Menschen, aus dem inneren Gesetz heraus muß er lernen, das äußere Gesetz zu befolgen.
