Abstract

The unknown phenomenon, "love", is among the wonders and beauties of the world of creation. Love, just as the existence of its concept, is extremely manifest, though its depth is extremely unknown. To prove its being unknown one can mention the various and even opposite explanations for it, provided by the philosophers and psychologists.Among the noticeable point in the works of Muslim philosophers and Gnostics is that love is penetrating in all creatures. Everything, whether among the immaterial or material creatures, and even the Truth-the Exalted enjoys this precious thing.The essence of Sadrian insight is that existence has principality and it is only existence, which is the origin of any effects. Every stage of the existence embraces all the existential effects; the attributes and effects are not other than existence, though they are graded stages. Love also is among the effects of existence and in every level of existence, it is present in more or less strength.In this regard Mulla Sadra has a sweat and interesting interpretation. He says: "The nobler and the higher the souls, the more pure, beautiful, and valuable are their friendships and interests.Nowadays, the scholars of ethics propose two ways for purification of the soul, one the way of reason and the other the way of love. The way of reason is very lengthy, time taking, and its fruits will be reached very late, and the drunken ones have nothing to do with it. It is in the way of love that they will, suddenly and through a song, reach the destination, and hence it is very efficient.
