In this book, which has been called a synthesis of his whole message, Frithjof Schuon invites us to explore aspects of humankind s relationship with the Divine, including our sense of the sacred, the conditions of our existence, the symbolism of the human body, and the question of accepting or refusing God s message. In doing so, Schuon paves the way for a true spiritual engagement. This revised edition has been fully retranslated and contains valuable editor s notes and a glossary, plus a fascinating appendix of previously unpublished writings."
