Вечная философия - Хаксли Олдос (1945)

Подобную точку зрения выражает и ал-Газали, считающий мистику не только единственным источником нашего знания о душе, ее сильных и слабых сторонах, но и "солью", которая не дает загнить человеческому обществу. Он пишет: "Во времена философов, как и в любой другой период, существует истовые мистики. Бог не лишает наш мир таких людей, ибо благодаря им мир и существует". Это они, умервщляя свое "я", развивают в себе способность к постоянному вдохновению и становятся орудием божественной благодати, с помощью которого она приходит к тем, чья непреобразованная природа остается глухой к нежным прикосновениям Духа.
