I ask you to write this deeply into your souls . . . the materialistic culture . . . is now on the way to its close.

A real medicine can only exist when it penetrates into a knowledge which embraces the human being in respect to body, soul and spirit.

In a community of human beings working together, the well-being of the community will be the greater, the less the individual claims for himself the proceeds of the work he has himself done; i.e., the more of these proceeds he makes over to his fellow workers, and the more his own requirements are satisfied, not out of his own work done, but out of work done by the others.

Just as an age was ready to receive the Copernican theory of the universe, so is our own age ready for the ideas of reincarnation and karma to be brought into the general consciousness of humanity. And what is destined to happen in the course of evolution will happen no matter what powers rise up against it.

People who are unable to use their hands skillfully for all kinds of work, will not become good thinkers and will behave awkwardly in life. It is not the head alone, but the whole human being that is a logician. Activities demanding manual and bodily skill, such as knitting, leads to the enhancement of the faculty of judgment. This faculty is actually developed least of all by exercises in logic.

In the future no human being is to find peace in the enjoyment of happiness if others beside him are unhappy.

Wherever love and compassion are active in life, we can perceive the magic breath of the spirit blowing through the sense world.
