Presents a defense of Western-style modernization in the face of opposition to the Shah's reforms. Explores the qualities of the spiritually learned through the lens of an Islamic tradition that the learned "must guard himself, defend his faith, oppose his passions and obey the commandments of his Lord". Presents the essential outlines of the Lesser Peace. Argues that religion is the greatest instrument for achieving true civilization, but warns that it can be diverted to the wrong ends. Rejects the possibility of a secular morality based on an "innate sense of human dignity", since "self-love is kneaded into the very clay of man". Issues a call for education reform, borrowing from other cultures as necessary, to restore the ancient glory of Persia. | Bribery and corruption; Call to action; Christ; Christianity; Detachment; severance; renunciation; patience; Education of children; moral education; Excellence; distinction; Heedlessness and ignorance of the people; Historical episodes and the lessons of the past; Justice and wrath of God; Justice ['adl]; social justice and divine justice; Mind as principle emanation; activity of the human spirit; Muhammad; Islam; Parliaments; constitutional government; Past, present and future of Iran; Power of the mind over nature; Praise of Eastern values; culture; Progress and the continual ascent of material civilization; Promotion of commerce and industry; Purity of heart; sincerity of intention; sanctity; Rejection, opposition and persecution; Religion as basis of morality; of divine civilization; Religion as source; stimulus of knowledge and science; Self-improvement; self-perfection; discipline; Serving humanity; working for progress, betterment of the world; Spiritual assemblies; administrative matters; Status of kings; future of monarchy; Symbolism; Symbolism of color and light; Universal education; Universal peace; world unity; Walking the spiritual path; spiritual wayfaring; the virtuous life; War and peace | * | * | MMAH.234 | ||
