selection principle. The headings are this index's own. Texts are listed where they treat Krishna, the teacher of Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita, as Rudolf Steiner describes him; a name in a row of great teachers is not enough. The teachings of the poem are listed under the entry on the Bhagavad Gita. Texts that name only Jiddu Krishnamurti are not listed.

usage. This entry lists where Rudolf Steiner's collected works (the Gesamtausgabe, GA) treat the subject. It contains no quotations: the headings, scope lines and notes are this index's wording, not Steiner's. Under each heading Steiner's own books (GA 1 to 28) come first, then articles and notes (GA 29 to 46), then lectures in date order. A text is listed when it treats the subject or the point its heading names, not when the word merely occurs. A paragraph number marks the passage that is the point, and a range of paragraphs (at most twelve) the passages that are; a reference marked whole is a chapter or lecture that treats the subject throughout. A reference with neither a paragraph nor the mark whole was listed before this rule and names the chapter or lecture without saying where in it the subject is treated; such references are being read and pinned or marked. A book's defining paragraph is also listed in German where the German edition numbers or names it differently, and so is a lecture's paragraph whose German word the translation renders loosely; the two references are one passage. A lecture with more than one English translation is listed once. Texts with no English translation are listed in German, and so are the esoteric lessons (GA 266), whose German is the original record; each reference's witnesses name every language the site serves it in. A reference marked as listeners' notes was written down by others (a listener, a newspaper, the minutes), one marked report by others is another person's account of a meeting or event, one marked mixed sources comes from a volume that holds both listeners' records and texts in Steiner's own hand, one marked stenogram rests on a shorthand transcript, and one marked record unknown is a lecture for which no evidence of how it was taken down is on record, which is not an assurance of a stenogram. One marked may be abridged is a translation shorter than the German. A lecture names the place its own heading gives, and an English reference names its translator from that lecture's own source (never another lecture's or the volume's credit) or says that no translator is on record. Read a passage before saying what it contains.
