Abstract :
During successive centuries, human being was tryingo to find out the truth of cosmos and to do this successfully, the philosophers and mystics have taken a new approach. One of the most eminent mystics of the East is Molavi who chose an opposite way for perceiving facts. The best way to know human, nature and even God is obtained by an opposite way.Without darkness no one can perceive the lightness and this difference is seen superficially.In his idea,the word is composed of opposite and God can appear by every opposite way life is reconciliation of opposites, with its death ,its wars.In other words,the appearance of creatures is only possible in the heads of opposites. He belives that the existence of Cosmos depends on the war between these opposites. On the other hand, in his idea, the synthesis of the world is different from the afore- mentioned facts and the paradise is free from this opposite. The wars of human is for God / The trees without leaves is a sign of paradise Human anger is in the pursuit of peace/Comfortable life is usually uncomfortable The next word is for good, / because it is free of opposites
