Hans Küry

Hans Küry (1906-1987) was one of the many admirers who came to Schuon for counsel. Küry later recalled the first time he saw Schuon in Basle during the summer of 1932: “Whoever had eyes and came into contact with Frithjof Schuon, even in our youth, could not doubt, even long before he was a spiritual master, indeed before he was a Muslim, that God had intended a mission for him in this regard.… Schuon, twenty-four years old, with a bold profile and handsome black beard, strode forward like a whirlwind, with the light of rapture on his forehead.… [A]s he flew on like an eagle, it was clear like lightning to me: ‘Comfort ends here!’ ” (“Les jeunes gens dans la Caverne:première rencontre”, 382). Many of Schuon’s letters were written to Dr. Küry.
