The essential message of tradition is timeless and thus ever new, ever fresh, and always germane to both our immediate condition and to our ultimate destiny. As Schuon remarks, a “nostalgia for the past” is, in itself, nothing; all that is meaningful is “a nostalgia for the sacred” which “cannot be situated elsewhere than in the liberating ‘now’ of God.”
