Erfaniyat Dar Adab Farsi

Mortification is a self practice to enrich human demension, in this stage the traveler seeks three goals:

1- Parry non-God from self,

2- taming concupiscience,

3- softening the soul through chaste love and sheer thought.

    To emphasize on the significance of Mortification it suffices that Rumi considers it as the basis for reverting to Allah (God), and Hafez knows it as a path to reach to the beloved and achieve admirable conscience. Sacrosanct God shows it as a factor for a wayfarer to reach to Him and Ali (peace be upon him) in Nahjul Balaghah describes it as a leading to imparting Divine intuitions. Harat’s leader enumerates some types of it , the most important of         which is Mortification by the saints, the Mortification which disentangles the wayfarer from the Most Holy (duality) and arrives him to unification.
