Abstract

In Mullah Sadra's thought and transcendental wisdom, ways have been introduced to reach the supreme truth, which is the ultimate goal of man in the process of self-perfection. These ways are the way of action and struggle, the way of knowledge and knowledge, and the way of grace and grace, each of which can help a person in the path of his spiritual life and perfection towards the supreme truth. This article, while examining the issue of receiving and the ways of receiving the supreme right from Mullah Sadra's point of view; The superiority of the path of knowledge and knowledge is explained from the point of view of Mulla Sadra. Mulla Sadra is not satisfied with only intellectual behavior in the discussion of the collection, but by proposing the wisdom of grace and divine favor in reasoning to prove the correctness of philosophical issues, he reaches the position of understanding and discovering facts. Mulla Sadra is skeptical about the issue of reaching the Almighty. This article, which is written with analytical-descriptive method and based on Mulla Sadra's works and first-hand sources, shows that Mulla Sadra has presented a new theory and initiative in transcendental wisdom in the matter of attaining and the problem of ways of attaining the supreme right. For this reason, it can be said that Mulla Sadra is the first mystical thinker who introduced Seleucid thinking and important proof reflections about the truth and the ways to reach the supreme truth with these elements into philosophy.
