Some researchers believe that the poems of Sohrab Sepehri are influenced by Islamic Iranian mysticism, but some others refer to the influence of Eastern and Indian mysticism, and the other group rejects any mystical context in his works. On the other hand, the thoughts of Abusa’id Abolkhayr, one of the great Sufis of Khorasan School, have some similarities with Eastern mysticism. Both Abusa’id Abolkhayr and Sohrab Sepehri have an openminded look to Shariah (Islamic law); concealing vices and sins of men, kindness with God’s creatures, being free from race prejudice are their distinctive features. They have passed the usual boundaries between good and evil and criticize the hypocrisy and taboos. Based on mystical doctrines of Abusa’id Abolkhayr and Sohrab Sepehri and with regard to the books Asrar al-Tawhid and Hasht Ketab, the present article tries to consider the subject of openmindedness in their thoughts.
