A great talk, filled with great ideas! Thanks to Dr. Nasr and two other professors! May Allah bestow them with true happiness and contentment.
When he was 23, and I was 17, I met Seyyed Hossein Nasr in a classroom, at Harvard University, 1956. With less than a sentence from him, I believed in God; my life was changed forever; I became a Muslim, and followed I'm in becoming a disciple of HIS master, Frithjof Schuon. Now I'm 81 and he must be 87. I see a treasure chest, full of knowledge AND wisdom. He gave me a Real Life, an entry into Truth: therefore, I would forgive absolutely anything, and be grateful forever. It is still ESSENTIAL for all those who admire him, as do I, to realize that he is one of the two main successors of Frithjof Schuon; and he is he only disciple of HIS master, whose actual life was affected by his master. This is exceedingly delicate; but it is necessary to understand Frithjof Schuon and the relationship between the two men, to situate the great Dr. Nasr correctly. Moereover, everyone seeking Truth, needs to understand a spiritual mystery which is in the life and doctrines of Frithjof Schuon. To situate his two main successors, Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Martin Lings (as well as all others) everyone should read at least the home page on this site: frithjofschuon.wordpress.com
I love this - why hasn't anyone else posted their approval and appreciation of this man. The atheists are all too quick to speak out against the horror of religion, while many of the religionless are all to quick to condemn.
Wonderful lecture. Thank you, God bless all of you for educating us. It becomes and has been clear via these lectures that all religions of the world can unit on divine realities which is ageless and timeless.
Ture that contentment is an endless treasure but let us not be content with ourselves if we are on the path to spiritual growth :)
Thank you.
simply awesome
Quality matters more than quantity...
I'm impressed!
Excellent talk. Wow.
She asked to know how Dhikr ( remembrance of Allah ) can be performed . Here is the verse from The Qur’an how to perform Dhikr - “ And do thou bring thy Lord to remembrance in thy ( very ) soul with humility and awe, with out loudness in words in the mornings and evenings ; and be not of those who are unheedful “ - 7:205
Great one
Amazing. Mashallah. Syed Nasr always excellence. His works brought me to Islam. Those suffering with depression maybe interested in reading Idris Salik's Islamic Guide to Happiness: Spiritual Reflections on Depression

Hello
I m from kashmir india
I need nasr sirs book
I too am from from Valley.
You won't find his books here except a few.
Because they get published from US and are costly for people. Thus, book sellers don't keep them.
But you can find pdfs of his books and then print them as I do.
I am a big fan of him and have had the opportunity to speak to him once on Phone and I still cherish that moment.
Omg
Sir, is happiness religious sensitive ? Islam makes Muslims happier ?

The perennial philosophy, or the Religio perennis, is inevitably associated with Frithjof Schuon, and his main successors, Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Martin Lings, among others related to them in some way, like Caner Dagli. As Frithjof Schuon's wife, and favorite person on earth for twenty years, and having had not the slightest doubts, I learned more about him, and his related disciples, than anyone alive. I'm 81 now and made a half-hour film for a country cut off from the internet; but the film is less important than this site: frithjofschuon.wordpress.com
The half-hour film, made partly to introduce a book, is: th-cam.com/video/CsjV8RA2xJ4/w-d-xo.html
René Guénon, a true Gnostic wali (saint) who at first recognized Frithjof Schuon as a potential leader in the West, tried to reconcile their differences for a long time; but all his letters denouncing Frithjof Schuon are on the site above.
Finally, Guénon (and William C. Chittick, James Cutzinger; Gai Eaton; Rama Coomaraswamy; myself (one of his four wives); Wolfgang Smith; Renaud Fabbri; Terry Moore (who became the Khalifa of Dr. Nasr); the daughter of his second wife (Catherine Perry, who was brought up living next door), plus a host of others of the most virtuous fuqara) renounced their former hopes, due to the impossibility of a metaphysician’s separating himself from revelation, and/or due to the lying and lack of virtue; but you will understand better as you read the link above; and see the letters from René Guénon on that site.
Other groups, left Frithjof Schuon and turned to his successors - the main ones being Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Martin Lings; but I won’t forget Caner Dagli and Jean-Claude Petit Pierre, in Switzerland. None of them (?) recognized the heresy in the one from whom they derived their authority. Good as they were as individuals, they were still heretics, and not orthodox guides, in as much as they did not recognize the grave doctrinal faults of their master, nor were they allowed to practice or teach - except with a false “ijazah..” Then yet another group, left Seyyed Hossein Nasr, because he not only expressed some wrong ideas, but the same kinds of heresy got into his very life. Then THEY too may have gone astray (?) by teaching the METHOD (the six themes) of a heretic! It’s an endless problem, complex, with the strangest contradictions, and an essential lesson in end time discerment.
Why migration is always from Islamic countries to western counties. For some reason this knowledge has not helped Muslims. The best study of this subject is Islamic Republic of Iran where Muslim clergy has all the power and can implement these principals. Iranians are the least happy people in the world now. Is there any statement of fairness and objectivity in Islamic literature. Great Muslim scholar Mehdi Bazergan toward the end of his life came to the conclusion that Islam is for fulfillment in the next world not this one.He wrote a book called “pragmatism in Islam” . Would you please mention where is the practical evidence of all this talks.

As Divinely Ordained ; let’s All of us not pursue HAPPINESS: rather let’s All of us; permit Happiness to pursue us 😂
Very impressive compilation of data as is the case with Dr.Nasir’s talks. After 1400 years, application of these data for happiness of Moslems is none. What went wrong? Dear Mr. Nasir please give some evidence of action after words. It seems Scandinavian nations specially Denmark know the tricks better.
Gahh - religionists*
Iam sorry but this lecture is borderline terrible.
Islam has already been debunked
