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

Spirit is never without matter, matter is never without spirit.

When the spirit most closely approaches the physical earth, then we have the perception of fragrance.

All of nature begins to whisper its secrets to us through its sounds. Sounds that were previously incomprehensible to our soul now become the meaningful language of nature.

Love is higher than opinion. If people love one another the most varied opinions can be reconciled - thus one of the most important tasks for humankind today and in the future is that we should learn to live together and understand one another. If this human fellowship is not achieved, all talk of development is empty.

Our task is to harvest from the mortal world fruits for the immortal.

Our egoism gains nothing from acts of love, but the world gains all the more. Esotericism tells us that love is to the world what the Sun is for outer life. No soul could thrive if love departed from the world. Love is the “moral” Sun of the world.
