Abstract :
Baba Afzal's view says that the center of Human's existence is psyche and that at the same time Human has wisdom. It is impossible to separate these two (psyche& wisdom) from each other in Baba Afzal's view. Precision means truth; therefore, this philosopher's idea is the consciousness of a movement which it's enthusiasm and motivation are produced in psyche itself. Baba Afzal discloses that every enti has a feature which can reach perfection through that feature. We deal with well-being and adversity. These well-being and adversity are not full ones, but an inseparable synthesis of both. In the final guest, Human can reach a full security thorough the shelter of wisdom; because psyche is the same as the spiritual helper tools, it exploits these tools in order to free from Depletion and reach eternity.
