Knowledge and the Sacred - Seyyed Hossein Nasr

 

Highly recommended: This lecture, Knowledge and the Sacred, was given upon request of Huston Smith when he taught at Hamline University in Minneapolis. Professor Nasr's lecture is based upon his book, Knowledge and the Sacred, which was a compilation of material from his Gifford Lectures.

The Heart is the Throne of the All-Merciful

From the 2001 Paths to the Heart Conference at the University of South Carolina.  Professor Nasr's key-note address touches upon the universal doctrine of the heart as the center of the human microcosm in all its levels, from the vital to the emotive to the intellectual and spiritual. It deals with methods of reaching the heart, primarily through prayer, drawing from the teachings of Islam, Christianity and other religions.
