“Standing Unshakably in the True” – A Commentary on the Teachings of Frithjof Schuon
Frithjof Schuon’s work can be viewed as explorations of and elaborations upon four essential realities: the “a doctrine of Truth or Reality, and a method of Integration or Realization through Prayer leading to inner beauty or Virtue, or outer goodness or Beauty.” Illustrations of Schuon’s thoughts on these is taken primarily from his didactic poems, adding the element of beauty of expression to the clarity of metaphyical exposition for which he was known.
