| Travel Meditations | Many questions arise simply because man lets himself be enticed into the domain where questions lie, instead of keeping firmly to the domain of certainty, If a man is confused by something, he should first of all come back to the certainty that it is not this world as such which is important, but the next world, and above all that God is Reality; and he should say to himself: in the face of this truth, which in principle is the solution to all questions, this or that question just does not arise; it is enough if he has the Answer of answers. And then God will give him a light also for what is earthly and particular. | Studies in Comparative Religion - Vol. 14, Nos. 1 & 2 (Winter-Spring, 1978) | English | comparative-religion multiple | |
| The Three Dimensions of Sufism | “FEAR” (makhâfah), “Love” (mahabbah), “Knowledge” (tarîqah): In Sufism (tasawwuf ), these are the three dimensions or stations of the way (tarîqah); “dimensions” from the point of view of their vocational separation or from the point of view of their coincidence in every spiritual vocation, and “stations” from the point of view of their succession in spiritual development. | Studies in Comparative Religion, Vol. 10 No. 1.

A Schuon Sentence
A. K. Saran’s article appeared in the journal Sophia as part of an issue dedicated to the life and thought of the late Frithjof Schuon. It is a wide-ranging view of some key Schuonian, and thus „Perennialist,“ concepts, as Saran focuses on Schuon’s book The Eye of the Heart. A. K. Saran also incorporates much traditional Hindu thought and the words of A. K. Coomaraswamy throughout this exploration of some aspects of Schuon’s thought.

Schuon as Poet and Artist
Editor Seyyed Hossein Nasr discusses the artistic side of Frithjof Schuon’s body of work, namely his poetry and paintings, and the aesthetic sensibility reflected throughout Schuon’s writings. It should be noted that this was written some years before Schuon’s many volumes of later poetry was published. The piece was excerpted from Dr. Nasr’s “Introducing the Writings of Frithjof Schuon” (the ‘Introduction’) in The Essential Frithjof Schuon.
