Abstract :

One of the most important manifestations of mysticism among religions and learning schools is the mystical truth seeking of the devotees and failure in understanding the essence of the creator of both worlds; it is the subject which has had a great and controversial status in epistemology and ontology since ancient times and has kept busy the mind of many researchers. Thus the subject of mystical truth seeking is being studied by the present article through a comparative review of Islamic and Buddhist mysticism while taking into consideration some of the poetry of SohrabSepehri.
