Abstract:
Mystical and spiritual education together with the subjects of "knowledge of God", aim of "nearness to God and annihilation in Him", and specific methods of "intuition" are among man's most important educational aspects. Therefore, it is worth directing man's educational endeavors towards developing this domain, that is, man's spiritual and mystical transcendence. The aims of this domain (knowledge-seeking, love-seeking, obedience and being a godlike one) are based on the beings and non-beings in ontology, anthropology and epistemology. The achievement of these aims depends on oughts and ought nots and also requires methods and strategies drawn out from authentic religious sources and the sayings of the wayfarers who take this path. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the present paper studies the aims, principles and methods of mystical education
