It should not be expected that what is spiritual can be brought before the eyes, before the senses. It must be experienced inwardly and spiritually.
Rudolf SteinerRead
A real medicine can only exist when it penetrates into a knowledge which embraces the human being in respect to body, soul and spirit.
Interpretation
What this quote means
True healing encompasses the whole person: body, soul, and spirit.
Rudolf Steiner emphasizes that genuine medicine must go beyond mere physical treatments and address the entire being of a person, including their emotional and spiritual dimensions. This holistic approach recognizes that health is not just the absence of disease but a harmonious balance of body, mind, and spirit, leading to true wellness.

Most actions derive not from your own initiative but from your family circumstances, your education, your calling, and so on. You must therefore give up a little time to performing actions which derive from yourself alone. They need not be important; quite insignificant actions fulfill the same purpose.

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.
