"Guénon compares lower education to the "little mysteries" of traditional initiation, where man must be brought to his perfection by acquiring the basis of a universal knowledge; the subsequent specialization process which corresponds to his inner nature; and thirdly the "great mysteries" that help him having access to the "superior states of being.
One can also go a step further and consider that the practice of the sciences is actually a spiritual act, with religious overtones, starting with Nature and ending with God. This is the way that classical ‘natural theology’ proceeds; it is already seen in Pythagoras and Plato’s, and more visibly in Aristotle’s metaphysics.
In this view, the true meaning of science is a spiritual activity; it is nothing else as a natural theology: it aims at discovering an underlying metaphysical order of reality which is ultimately founded on the Supreme Intellect whose name are manifold: the Monad of Pythagoras, Plato's Good Aristotle's Prime Mover, etc.
The Mahdaviat, considered as a program for a world filled with peace and justice, must certainly revive the true sense of Wisdom: something transforming the individual and the society by the knowledge of the forms and the archetypes and the true structures of the universe.
Conclusion We have now revealed the ultimate spiritual foundation on which higher education must rest: a Wisdom inspired by God, both terrestrial and celestial, giving celestial inspiration and guidance not only to scholars, but also to just rulers who need to know the metaphysical structure of reality in order to implement justice, peace and prosperity on earth."
