In this exposition of the spiritual life, Marco Pallis explains that the interior life is the fruit of the marriage of Wisdom and Method – “Wisdom which illuminates with the truth” and Method which provides the act by which the knower becomes what he knows. The supreme instrument of Method is the Life of Prayer in the widest sense, enshrined in religious tradition which serves to maintain the balance between theory and practice. The methodic invocation of a Sacred Name or formula is at the centre of the process, the Name “being first the apparent object of invocation and then its subject, until finally the subject-object distinction disappears altogether.”

"Sacred and Profane Science" by René Guénon appears as chapter 2 of Science and the Myth of Progress edited by Mehrdad M. Zarandi, published by World Wisdom. In the essay, Guénon distinguishes between the "two radically different and even incompatible conceptions [of science]" held by traditional and modern civilizations. The author uses a number of examples—such as physics, chemistry, psychology, etc.—to demonstrate how different the points of departure, the methods, and the ends are between traditional and modern science when looking at the same object. Guénon shows the clear evidence that modern world seeks to "sever the connection between the sciences and any higher principle," thus robbing these sciences of any deeper meaning beyond accumulations of data and 'facts.'
