Description: A collection of short, jewel-like excerpts from Schuon's major works that evokes the essence of spiritual truths.
"The divine archetype of faith is the "yes" which God says to Himself; it is the Logos which on the one hand mirrors the Divine Infinity, and on the other hand refracts it."
"God does not at the outset ask perfection of us, but He does ask of us its intention, which implies, if it is sincere, the absence of serious imperfections. God asks of us that which He has given us, namely the qualities we bear in our own depths, in our deiform substance; we must "become what He is;" every being is fundamentally Being as such."
"Spiritual realization is theoretically the easiest thing and in practice the most difficult thing there is. It is the easiest because it is enough to think of God. It is the most difficult because human nature is forgetfulness of God."
