Description
In this profound analysis, Gai Eaton explores the most urgent concerns and questions facing us at the beginning of the twenty-first century. He contrasts modern society with religion and tradition, clarifying the essential need for spirituality and values based on eternal principles.
The book examines the relationship between religion and society, arguing that a total rejection of the past cannot be the basis for the future, and that a true link with Heaven modifies all decisions and actions. Eaton discusses key aspects of Islam, including metaphysics, knowledge of the divine and oneself, prayer, and the necessity for purifying the ego.
He also illustrates how a religious perspective can transform both the individual and society, touching on topics such as politics, architecture, the environment, and gender relations. This insightful work offers a fresh perspective on the role of religion in our lives.
