Sage of the Sacred Mountain: A Gospel of Tranquility by Stanwood Cobb Avalon Press 1953 "Harmony, Tranquility, War and Peace, Poetry and Love" Resident of 19 Grafton St, Chevy Chase, MD Dr. Cobb was the director of the Chevy Chase Country Day School (the Cobb School) which was located at his home at 19 Grafton Street. Introduction: LET us SUPPOSE that you have been driven to exhaustion along life's dusty highway. You crave release from this fatigue of body and of mind. Then, suddenly, you light upon a restful inn, nestling in a grove of pines and overlooking a vista of vernal beauty. This is your glad opportunity to break the chains of your compulsions, to free your mind of anxieties and worries, and to bathe your soul in peace. You have found your "Inn of Rest" — far from the world of care. Here you can get refreshment — of body, mind and soul. Such an Inn of Rest we may find imaginatively in the simple Pavilion and Garden of the Sage of the Sacred Mountain. It is our hope that these spiritual discourses may contain elements of value for daily living. The teachings here expressed are those deeply underlying the culture of a great h's'.oric people, called by many who have studied them the happiest people in the world. The spiritual philosophy derived from their ancient sages is largely responsible for the equanimity and joyousness of this peculiar people. The dramatization of these teachings add, we think, to their flavor and appeal. Also, each episode is short, so that the "Sage of the Sacred Mountain" may be dipped into from time to time for momentary inspiration. CCHS library call number 290 COB |
