Nasr on Schuon

In 1999, Seyyed Hossein Nasr published a book of verse, Poems of the Way. One of these poems, in Persian, addresses Frithjof Schuon. It is available in translation, with a transliteration of the Persian, on the website of the Muslim Women's Coalition. Schuon is addressed as "my Shaykh, my ‘Isa" (shaykh-e man o ‘isá-ye man), as he was Nasr's shaykh, and his Muslim name was ‘Isa Nur al-Din. Two couplets are especially interesting. One raises interesting theological and philosophical questions about the nature of union, which is generally understood as being between the soul of the individual believer and the One (God). Schuon writes: My soul came alive from thy soul; my heart became filled with light The longing for union with thee is my suffering, O my Shaykh, my ‘Isa The other interesting couplet neatly encompasses the Maryami view of Schuon's position and blessings: As Ahmad chose thee, Jesus breathed in thee with his breath Mary took thee in her embrace, O my Shaykh, my ‘Isa My thanks to Neon Knight for bringing the poem and website to my attention. - Artículo*: Mark Sedgwick - Más info en psico@mijasnatural.com / 607725547 MENADEL Psicología Clínica y Transpersonal Tradicional (Pneumatología) en Mijas y Fuengirola, MIJAS NATURAL *No suscribimos necesariamente las opiniones o artículos aquí enlazados
