If death of a loved one is felt as a finite loss for those left behind it is seen as an infinite gain for the departed. His death is in truth your death, the death of multiplicity and the rebirth into an eternal unity. What is apparently perceived as a loss of a loved one … More What is Death?
When we come to the realm of spirituality and metaphysics there are no words more misunderstood, and hence abused than the words love and heart. We attribute the origin of this misunderstanding of love and heart in the context of spirituality to the modern conception of human being as a purely individual phenomenon. Individualism can … More On True Love & Untrue Love
The modern conception of human being reduces man to his/her individuality: Human being is an individual being among other beings in the world. The major shortcoming of this conception is its lack of awareness of its own origin; it fails to see that a purely individual being cannot rise above itself and perceive itself as … More Man & Intelligence
We mean by transcendental consciousness a fundamental mode of consciousness as opposed to mundane or natural consciousness. Natural consciousness is our everyday consciousness; it is the consciousness by which we perceive ourselves as human beings in a world, a world that has religion, science, philosophy, art, etc. as phenomena inside it.

If the world is … More The Symbolism of Solar System
Forgetfulness is the mark of this world. What is the use of seeking that which is forgotten when the only way of finding it is to remember?! What we have lost is not to be found in the world, for we are in the world precisely because we lost. World is the face of forgetfulness. … More Wake Up Already
World as the totality of all existence, both in its form and content, is nothing but a symbol. It is a symbol because it always points to something other than itself, to an origin that is itself not in or part of the world, to an origin that is itself other-worldly. Even modern science has … More World as Divine Symbol
The Contradiction of Relativism By Frithjof Schuon Relativism reduces every element of absoluteness to relativity while making a completely illogical exception in favor of this reduction … More The Contradiction of Relativism
This world is the shadow of God; it is not a thing, not an existent entity; rather, it is the lack of a thing, lack of light, as are all shadows. Our relation to the absolute principle is paradoxical from the point of view of our mundane intelligence: First, there is nothing but God; but … More World is the shadow of God
