Decoding the mechanism of mystical life from the perspective of Mulla Sadra and Underhill

Abstract

One of the greatest divine blessings in the mystical journey is spiritual life, which is considered by many mystics and wise men. Mrs. Andril Sufi, the Christian scholar and Mulla Sadra Shirazi, an Islamic philosopher, also tried to understand what the spiritual life and the quality of their achievement were. These two thinkers, in a common approach, consider human being as having three intellectual, voluntary, and emotional contexts, but in the primacy and superiority of these areas and the influence of each one on human spiritual life, they disagree. With the priority of feeling on reason and will, Andrilil considers spiritual life to be one of the three virtues of worship, cooperation, and loyalty, and on this basis, the individuals who live in this life have the characteristics that include harmony, mildness and confidence of the heart. Knows that they will be away from any fuss. Mulla Sadra of Shirazi, with prior knowledge of the field of thought on other places of the soul, believes that spiritual life is created with the first stage of theoretical rationalist movement, and the soul, after being immersed in theoretical reason, can be practiced through practical actions such as the notion of omnipotence, meditation and love Mutafat has a number of life that is the result of the acquisition of special abilities for the soul, including the rebellion of certainty and insight, the creation of forms, the avoidance of evil and the deceit of the darkness.
