THE ROAD
Say "yes" to God, God will say "yes" to thee;
To Heaven's gate this is the golden key.
About my earthly road I do not care;
It may be long; short is God's road to me.
Frithjof Schuon, Road to the Heart, page 103. |

The Way
Within our deepest center dwells the Self;
And so they say: you ought to realize
Your own divinity. But they forget:
Without God's help we never can be wise.
Ignoring this, too many go astray.
With Heaven's Grace alone we find the Way. |

Remember
O men of little faith, do not forget
What prophets, saints and pious men have said:
Remember God, God will remember you.
A better thing on earth we cannot do.
Albeit low, we should not be ashamed;
God wanted us; He needed to be named. |

A finite image of Infinity:
This is the nature of all poetry.
all human work to its last limit tends;
Its archetype in Heaven never ends.
What is the sense of Beauty and of Art?
To show the way into our inmost Heart.
The singing of a bird came from the sky;
The world had been a dream; the song was I.
Frithjof Schuon, The Garland, 1994 |
