Written during the final years of Frithjof Schuon's life, these short teachings and aphorisms are a metaphysical and spiritual summa, distilling the essence of the philosopher's teaching in a form that is at once direct, accessible and synthetic. The book is divided into different sections, including "Beauty", "Human Questions", "Doctrine", "Recollections", "Images" and the "Soul". In these poetic teachings, Schuon speaks directly to the reader, with spiritual insight and counsel that illumines the mind and nourishes the soul. Together, they comfort and inspire the reader to live the life of the spirit more fully, cultivate inner beauty and seek a deeper consciousness of the presence of God.
