Frithjof Schuon war ein schweizerischer Metaphysiker und Religionsphilosoph.

Zusammen mit René Guénon, Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy und Titus Burckhardt gilt Schuon als einer der Wiederbeleber der Sophia perennis im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert. Sein Denken steht in der Tradition von Platon, Shankara, Ibn Arabi und Meister Eckhart; er schrieb – größtenteils in französischer Sprache – mehr als zwei Dutzend Bücher über Metaphysik, Religion und Spiritualität. Durch seine umfassende Kenntnis philosophischer, religiöser und insbesondere mystischer Traditionen der Welt war er in der Lage, diese miteinander zu vergleichen und in einen umfassenden Gesamtzusammenhang zu stellen.

“First of all one has to answer the question of why the painful experiences that man must undergo are called "trials."”

We would reply that these experiences are trials in relation to our faith, which indicates that with regard to troubling or painful experiences we have duties resulting from our human vocation; in other words, we must prove our faith in relation to God and in relation to ourselves. In relation to God, by our intelligence, our sense of the absolute, and thus our sense of relativities and proportions; and in relation to ourselves, by our character, our resignation to destiny, our gratitude. There are in fact two ways to overcome the traces that evil, or more precisely suffering, leaves in the soul: these are, firstly, our awareness of the Sovereign Good, which coincides with our hope to the extent that this awareness penetrates us; and secondly, our acceptance of what, in religious language, is called the "will of God"; and assuredly it is a great victory over oneself to accept a destiny because it is God's will and for no other reason.
