Classical India on the contrary perceives history to be merely the manifestation, with innumerable forms, of archetypes situated on a different level, and for this reason has taken no interest in memorizing the succession of material events. Instead of conceiving of time as linear and neutral, as the scientific vision does, India regards it as qualified and cyclical. Time can only be measured based on natural cycles, and as such it is logical that it adopt a cyclical form on all levels. One of these cycles is formed of the four eras (known in Greco-Roman antiquity as the Gold, Silver, Bronze and Iron ages) throughout which, while life becomes less simple, there is a progressive degeneration in the character of humanity. According to Hindu tradition, we find ourselves at present in the Kali Yuga, or "Age of conflicts", where the basest passions of men are dominant, to the detriment of virtue (dharma). Nevertheless, living in the Dark Age also has unexpected advantages.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Rare glimpses of two 20th-century Sufi saints are offered in this work: the eminent Shaykh al-Alawi and the lesser-known woman saint Fatima al-Yashrutiyya, both of whom continued on the Sufi path even as they watched their world crumble. Shaykh al-Alawi's influence was pivotal to the spiritual development of Thomas Merton, who looked to al-Alawi's writings and teachings in his own practice. Fatima al-Yashrutiyya is a rare example of a literate Muslim woman living a public spiritual life. Readers will see a new side of the Sufi Path from her uncompromising viewpoint, and can catch an uncommon glimpse of life in the early 20th century for a spiritual seeker, writer, and self-educated woman in the Muslim world. These essays represent Islam in its esoteric dimension and raise issues of regional unrest and colonial intervention that are still relevant. Through the words of these two saints the world of the Sufi brotherhood is opened, revealing an underlying theme of the oneness of Allah.
