Masnavi Almaanavieh Alkhafieh written by Sheikh Ibrahim Ibne Mohammad Golshani Bardaii (830-940 HL), has been composed as an imitation of Matsnavi Molana. It contains plenty of mystical, ethical, incorporeal matters, explications and interpretations. In this paper, it is attempted to analyze the effect of ethical Vices on the disorders of wisdom system by using the three stories Balaam-Baaura, Barsissa, Hāroot and Māroot in this literary work. Although these three stories constitute about seven thousand line of this thirty-six-thousand-line work, Golshani Bardaii has expressed the essence of his thoughts and wisdom through these stories and examples. The aim of this research is to study the obstacles of the spiritual journey, the slippage the gnostic might confronted with, the temptation of the flesh, and ethical vices penetrating the human being's soul that results in the inverse reflection of the truth, impurity of the soul, committing guilt, enormous mystical unforgiveable crimes, and finally metamorphosis. Through mentioning the text evidences and by using textual extracts and tables, the authors have expressed the viewpoint of Golshani Bardaii on how one may follow negligence, pursuing whim-wham passions, the way gnostic might be led to aberration, and the practical realism of devotee. In this paper, direct effect of passion, desire, adultery, fame seeking, ignorance, stupidity, rationality and insight have been illustrated. Seeking for fame and whoremongery have been mentioned to be the biggest calamity which lead to inversion of reality and are considered as the objective evidence of pursuing sensuality and carnality.
