Autumn Leaves & The Ring: Poems By Frithjof Schuon QUOTES

1 " Trials there must be upon this earth. We are made of a stuff that easily corrupts when nothing calls to order, when a sign from the Lord does not reach us soon enough. Do not complain that destiny has rent your soul; For God knows best what will help us. "

― Frithjof Schuon , Autumn Leaves & The Ring: Poems By Frithjof Schuon

2 " It is a prejudice — someone said — to believe
That after one comes two;
It is a prejudice to believe that what occurs
Draws its occurrence from a cause.
The right way to think is without presuppositions, they believe —
In that case, the rider can give away his horse!

It lies in the deep substance of all things
That each one sings the praise of its archetype.
--------
Ein Vorurteil — so meinte jemand — sei
Zu glauben, nach dem Eins komme das Zwei;
Es sei ein Vorurteil, dass, was geschieht,
Aus einer Ursach sein Geschehen zieht.
Voraussetzungslos sei das rechte Denken —
Dann kann der Reiter seinen Gaul verschenken!

Es liegt im tiefsten Wesen aller Dinge,
Dass jedes seines Urbilds Loblied singe. "
